Compile and load custom source configuration types

After you create a Java class that implements CommonIntegrator with downloadVersionContent and getNextVersionInfo methods, you are ready to create the custom source configuration type JAR file. Then you load the file to Deployment Automation.

For general instructions on how to implement custom source configuration types, see Get started with custom source configuration types.

3. Click the Load Source Config Type button.
4. In the dialog box that opens, click Choose File and select the JAR file you generated.
5. Click Load.

After you upload the JAR file, your custom source configuration type is displayed in the Source Config Type list. Click the name to view more information.
