Services Standard Build (SSB)
Quick answer
What the SSB is and how it packages, builds and deploys SailPoint IdentityIQ customisations consistently.
Key takeaways
- SSB compiles customisations + product into a WAR
- Defined folder layout with per-environment properties
- Repeatable, version-controlled deployments
- Promote the same built artifact across environments
What SSB is
The Services Standard Build (SSB) is SailPoint’s build framework that compiles your customisations and the base product into a deployable WAR, keeping builds repeatable.
Structure
SSB organises custom files, rules and configuration in a defined folder layout, with environment-specific property files for dev, test and prod.
Why use it
It makes deployments consistent and version-controlled, avoiding the drift that comes from manually patching each environment.
Build and deploy
You run the SSB build to produce the WAR, then deploy it to the application server, with the same artifact promoted across environments.
