New code group for ‘Execute source code’ but not in a deployment package

Show at deployment affects both the execution screen as well as the manifest generated when a deployment package is created. There is no setting to exclude a code file from a deployment package but include the code file in the Execute source code screen.

‘Fixed file’ affects the Functionality screen and the Code overview screen. It basically indicates that a code file must always be executed as a whole. All program objects will be generated and executed as one package; individual program objects cannot be executed separately. This is used in applications using the Oracle RDBMS.

You could try to include a check in your backup script so it only executes when run from the Software Factory. You could for instance check the branch_id or model version. That way you may be able to exclude running a backup when using the deployer on a version from prod or on your prod branch.

Alternatively if you have your software factory database on the same server as your software factory projects but have your production project on a different server, you could check for the existence of the software factory database: (replace “software_factory” with the name of your Software Factory database)

if db_id('Software_factory') is not null
begin 
    print 'run your backup here'
end
