Before you stage an application to the ePortal runtime platform, you must publish the project to a Web Deploy Package.
Publishing Profile for ePortal Projects
All ePortal presentation project templates include a default publish profile (ePortalStageProfile.pubxml file) for creating a web deploy package. This publish profile is configured with a default publish location which is also the default location of the Published Application Location option in the Stage Published Application to ClearPath ePortal Platform dialog box. In most cases, you do not provide the location of the published package.
To publish an ePortal presentation project to a web deploy package, perform the following steps:
In Solution Explorer, right-click the presentation project, and then click Publish….
The Publish window appears. By default, the ePortalStageProfile publish profile is selected with a pre-filled ePortal staging publish profile and default setting for ePortal staging.
Click Edit, and under Connection, ensure that if Web Deploy Package is selected from the Publish method list.
Click Publish to publish the package.
The published package is located in Publish\CorePackage.

In Solution Explorer, right-click the presentation project, and click Publish….
The Publish window appears.
Under Target, select Web Server (IIS), and then click Next.
