Deploy the custom objects

To use the Oracle Social Cloud Accelerator custom objects, you must deploy them to apply the changes to the database.

Before you begin

This procedure assumes that you have already imported the Oracle Social Cloud Accelerator custom objects and that the Object Designer is open.

About this task

Note: When you deploy custom objects, all custom objects in all packages are deployed. Custom objects that have previously been deployed will be examined for changes. If no changes have been made to those objects since the previous deployment, the objects are ignored during deployment.

For more information on deploying custom objects, such as deployment scheduling options, see Deploy a custom object.

Procedure

  1. In the Object Designer, click Deploy on the ribbon to open the Deploy window.
  2. Type the email addresses to which you want to send notifications in the Email Address field. Multiple addresses must be separated by commas. The logged-in staff account’s email address is automatically added to the field. Addresses entered in this field receive emails when deployment completes or when an issue preventing deployment is encountered.
  3. Select the Deploy Immediately check box.
    Important: Use this option with caution on production sites. If the deployment takes a long time, your site might be negatively impacted until the deployment completes.
  4. Click Deploy.
    A Deploy message displays.
  5. Click Yes to confirm the deployment.
    The Object Designer is unavailable until the deployment completes.

Results

After the Oracle Social Cloud Accelerator custom objects are deployed, you can work with them in the same way you work with standard incidents or accounts.

What to do next

You must also grant permission to use CRUD operations on the custom objects to the profiles who will be using the objects. See Custom object permissions in profiles for more information.
