On dedicated development system, BMC Helix Platform enables application business analysts and developers to create update packages of codeless applications. You use the update package to deploy incremental changes of codeless applications to collaborative development, test, or production environments. For example, you can deploy updates such as application fixes, newly added features, or changed configuration data.
The update package can contain the application's modified data, which is, the JAR file, definitions, and configuration data of an application. You can choose to include specific data, such as only JAR files, definitions, or configuration data in an update package.
You can share the update package with administrators, who can deploy incremental changes of a codeless application to a test or production environment.
