The image compiler is a command line tool that helps to improve the deployment process of Orchestra packaged applications. A packaged applications is an orchestra container that is enriched with additional process scenarios that form together an application. The image compiler allows the creation of packaged applications.

 

The following artifacts are needed when creating Orchestra packaged applications (Please see the image-compile command):

1. Process scenario file(s) (psc, psx)

2. Optional - A standard Orchestra Image file, the tool generates only configuration files if not specify input Image

3. Optional - Container template file(s), the tool uses default templates if not specify templates

 

Note: If there is an encrypted Process Scenario file in psx format, you need to activate an Orchestra license to enable the image compiler to decrypt the psx files, please see the licensing commands createNodeActivation, activateNode, activateProduct, updateNodeActivation and nodeInfo for more information.

 

The output of image compiler will help to improve the deployment task of a packaged application. For all landscape and credential entries found in the source scenarios, the image compiler generates configuration file that are extended by the additional properties that can be injected by container settings.

 

In additional, the tool can be used to build Orchestra image file from standard Orchestra artifact (Orchestra-cd, Juno or Standalone). Please see the buildImage command for more details.
