Abstract

A method, computer system, and computer program product for distributing a composite application is provided. The composite application includes several components, and is adapted to be distributed on multiple systems implementing runtime environments. The components have associated distribution descriptors. The distribution descriptors specify requirements for the at least one target runtime environment. The method includes selecting a composite application from a code asset repository and upon the selection of the composite application, creating a distributing workflow by a distributing unit. The distributing workflow includes a configuration. The configuration specifies the at least one target runtime environment. The method further includes executing the distributing workflow. The executing includes evaluating the distribution descriptor of each component according to the configuration, based on the evaluating, creating a distribution script for each component, and executing the distribution scripts.
