Hi all...

Wondering specifically if many/any of you deploy "only" executable Job details to your production servers, or if you also include the Design metadata?

(specifically, the export option of "Executables without Designs").

If so, why or why not? Do you use the read-only feature along with migrating design info? ...or other alternatives.

Thanks in advance!

Production is always read only to developers but we always do designs. It is easier to debug. It is also impossible to tell if production has the correct version unless you can see the design.

... or use the Version number field.

We are using the comment field in job properties but they don't always update it.

We use the option "Export job designs without executables". All code goes through our source code control procedure. Code is promoted through each environment dev->test->prod. The source code is imported into each environment then compiled. Good source code control should minimize the chance of deploying the wrong code.
