I have an idea to improve the deployment from the sandbox to the production.

It would be nice if either the sandbox would provide something like an build artifact which could be created and installed on production.

Since I didn’t find anything similar my idea was to put everything into one bundle (of course, except what’s already in a third party bundle).

Changes in the sandbox would result into incremental updates of the bundle. So that the update process on production would only be a single click “update bundle”.

Using many smaller bundles is not an option since the update process of multiple bundles which are changing simultaneous is not automatable.

My question is what can be included into bundles, what not?

Hello,

I recommend you begin by reviewing the Help documentation found under SuiteCloud (Customization, Scripting, and Web Services)-> SuiteBundler-> SuiteBundler Overview

I will throw out that one thing that frequently doesn’t bundle well is form layouts.

What you mean exactly with “doesn’t bundle well”?

[trimblee]

They will not be as you configured them in your dev environment, in a manner that is unpredictable. In other words, fields and sections move around, “Show” checkbox gets unchecked, etc. In our deployment instructions, we always include a step to verify/make form changes.
