Registering remote runtimes that run your automations in your own infrastructure.

Overview

Runtime Environment represents a remote runtime — an execution environment outside the UnifyApps cloud (for example, inside your own network) that runs your deployed automations. You register the environment here, associate automations with it, and then export a resource bundle that the remote runtime imports: it contains the deployed automation definitions plus everything they need to run — the connector apps they use, their connections, and the environment's own variable overrides. Each environment carries its own list of key/value environment variables, so the same automation can run with environment-specific values.

Where: Settings › Runtime Environments

Runtime Environments list

The list is a table of your environments with NameDomainCreated By, and Last modified By columns. Each row's action menu offers EditExport (downloads the environment's resource bundle), and Delete. Clicking a row opens it for editing, and New Runtime Environments starts a new one — before any exist you'll see "No Runtime Environments — You haven't created any runtime environments yet."

Where: Settings › Runtime Environments

Creating or editing a runtime environment

Create Runtime Environment ("Create a new runtime environment") opens a full-page form; editing an existing one opens the same form as Edit Runtime Environment. The environment needs a name — it must be unique across environments — and holds a password, which is stored encrypted and used to secure the environment's exported bundle. The Domain identifies where the remote runtime lives. Saving shows a success message and returns you to the list.

FAQs

What does Export produce, and what ends up in the bundle?

Export (row action) downloads the environment's resources so a remote runtime can import and run them. For every automation associated with the environment, the bundle collects the deployed version of the automation, the connector apps and resources its nodes use, the connections those nodes reference (with credentials handled through the platform's encryption), and the environment's environment variables. An automation that isn't deployed is skipped — only deployed definitions are exported — so deploy your automations before exporting.

Can I delete a runtime environment?

Yes — Delete in the row menu asks "Delete Runtime Environment? Are you sure you want to delete the runtime environment '\<name\>'? This action cannot be undone." Deleting removes the registration on the platform; it doesn't reach into your remote infrastructure.
