OutSystems changed the way applications are deployed to deployment zones. Before, it was possible to configure a different deployment zone for each module. Starting with version 11.8.0, this is only configurable at application level. While existing applications with modules in different deployment zones will continue to work, OutSystems will stop supporting this option in the future. Please review this web site for more information.
The Deployment Zones Consolidator is an app that simplifies the identification of such applications and modules, and proposes unification strategies according to OutSystems documentation.
For more information on how to install and use this application, go to the Documentation tab.
This update brings significant improvements in clarity, ease of use, code quality, and alignment with OutSystems best practices.
Renamed for Clarity:
The Forge component, application, and eSpace have been renamed to "Deployment Zone Consolidator". Additionally, the application, eSpace, and extension descriptions were updated.
Simplified Installation:
The component now utilizes the local database connection, eliminating the need for manual database configuration.
Improved Code Quality, Maintainability, and Best Practices:
Significant code refactoring was performed to remove duplication.
UI elements are no longer exposed as public.
Removed unused references.
Enhanced Guidance:
Links to the public documentation were updated. Additionally, they now open in a new tab/window for your convenience.
Direct links to step-by-step instructions for the application's unification approaches suggestions were added.
