Application Patch Rules and Guidelines

• •When you deploy objects to an application patch archive file, the default location of the file is $INFA_HOME/tomcat/bin/target. If the Data Integration Service is configured to use operating system profiles and you specify the operating system profile, the archive file is written to $DISTargetDir instead.
• •When you deploy objects to an application patch archive file, you can specify mapping deployment properties to override the default mapping deployment properties. Specify each mapping deployment property as a name-value pair. For information about the mapping deployment properties, see the Informatica Developer Tool Guide.
• •When you deploy objects to an application patch archive file, the result of the query must contain at least one object that can be run, such as a mapping.
• •When you deploy objects to an application patch archive file and use the archive to deploy the application to another domain, the archive files must be saved to a shared disk location.
