Introduction

If you have a licensed app in Mendix Cloud, you can deploy it directly to an environment from Studio Pro. To do this, designate a target environment in Apps, then click App > Deploy to Licensed Cloud Node in Studio Pro. These steps are described in detail below.

Selecting the Target Environment

To select a target environment for Studio Pro deployment, do the following:

  1. From Apps, click Environments on your app.

  2. In the Overview tab, click Environment Settings ( ) .

  3. In the Environment Settings page, select your desired Studio Pro target environment from the environments list.

  4. Click Close to save the selection.

You have selected the target environment and can now deploy your app to that environment from Studio Pro.

Deploying from Studio Pro

Once the app has a target deployment environment, you can directly deploy your app from Studio Pro by following these steps:

  1. Open the licensed app in Studio Pro.

  2. In the top menu bar, click App > Deploy to Licensed Cloud Node.

    The App menu with the Deploy to Licensed Cloud Node option selected
  3. In the Deploy to the cloud dialog box, click Deploy.

  4. You will see a dialog box with the following message: "Successfully started cloud deployment." It will automatically upload your MDA to the Mendix Portal, deploy it to the target environment, and restart the target environment.
