Deployment and Customization in Windchill
You can use the automated build deployment process for Windchill in cloud. The automated build deployment process helps you simplify the promotion of changes from the development environment to the production environment. A Simple Change Framework (SCF), built on Ant script, is developed by PTC to achieve this automation.
Summary
SCF helps you setup your environment for the automated deployment that is required for Windchill. It also helps standardize the packaging and installation process, and reuse of the existing deployment and installation features. You can create the build package and the manifest file using the SCF tool and upload it to cloud.
