How two environments can be configured for Compare & Deploy method used for deployment?
Answer
Admin Console → DevOps → Infrastructure
In the Appian Admin Console, under DevOps → Infrastructure, you can configure and manage environments that are used for Compare and Deploy.
The Infrastructure section allows you to add and configure multiple Appian environments. For example, you can configure a Development environment and a Test environment so that packages can be compared and deployed between them.
Adding an Environment
To configure an environment:
- Navigate to Admin Console.
- Go to DevOps → Infrastructure.
- Select Add Environment.
- Provide the required environment details.
- Save the configuration.
Once the environments are configured, they can be used as source and target environments for Compare and Deploy operations.
Example
Suppose you have the following environments:
DEV → TEST
You can configure both environments under DevOps → Infrastructure. After configuration, you can use Appian's Compare and Deploy functionality to:
- Compare application objects between DEV and TEST.
- Identify differences between environments.
- Create a deployment package.
- Deploy the package from DEV to TEST.
- Monitor the deployment process.

In simple terms:
The Infrastructure section is where you configure the Appian environments that participate in DevOps operations such as Compare and Deploy. Once the environments are configured, Appian provides the underlying functionality needed to move packages between them.
