Hello. 
I notice that when you deploy a new item_type (file based copy), without deploying database, then dynamicweb has no idea that there is a new one, and thus will not create the appropriate tables for said item_type. Is there a better way to solve this than having to create the item_type on the destination server? I know there are deployment tools in DW that can solve this issue, but I was thinking in the case that one is using a file based deployment approach such as a part of a CD pipeline.
