Quick Start: Generating a Martini Package

Exporting a manifest as a Martini package can produce a ZIP file containing selected APIs, services, database schema setup, data models, and configuration files. You can generate the package from the toolbar with the Negroni Blueprint wizard, or export the manifest directly using the manifest's saved Configure settings.

Option 1: Use the Negroni Blueprint Wizard

1. Select the manifest you want to export.
2. Click Negroni Blueprint in the toolbar.
3. Select Export as a Martini package.
4. Select the API types to generate: REST, SOAP, or GraphQL.
5. Select Database Schema or Data Models when you need model output in the package.
6. Configure whether to create a new database or use an existing database.
7. Enter the connection URL, username, password, and database name.
8. Select an existing package or create a new package.
9. Review the summary and click Generate.

When generation completes successfully, the package is available for download.

Option 2: Export the Manifest Directly

Use direct export when the manifest has already been configured.

1. Right-click the manifest in the Project Navigator.
2. Select Configure.
3. Save the API, SQL, service, and property settings that should be used for the package.
4. Right-click the manifest again and select Export > Martini Package.
5. Click Build.

Direct export builds the package from the saved manifest configuration. To change the generated APIs, database behavior, service options, or package properties, update the manifest through Configure before clicking Build.

Database setup

A generated Martini package can include startup services that create the selected database schema when the package is deployed.

After Downloading

Import the downloaded package into any Martini instance:

• Martini Designer Online — upload via the Packages panel
• Martini Server Runtime — copy the ZIP to the packages directory
