Publish to Project Directory

Publish application updates to a Project directory.

Once you have created an application, you can make updates and then republish those updates to an AppBuilder project. The updates will then be reflected in the project directory in <AppBuilder_Home>\ares-project\hermes\filesystem\root\guest\<Project_Name>, or in the case of a local Cordova project, the changes will be reflected in the workspace that you designated when you created the project. See Create a Local Cordova Project.
  1. Open the application you wish to use to update or modify.
  2. Modify your application and save your changes.
  3. In the AppBuilder menu, select Deployment > Publish to Project Directory. This will open the Publish to Project Directory dialog:
    publish_project
  4. Click Confirm to begin the project build. The publish process will overwrite any existing project files. While the publish process is completing, a progress bar is displayed in the Publish to Project Directory dialog. Once successful, a success message and a full progress bar are displayed:

    publish_progress
    Once you have published updates to your project, you can test functionality using the steps in Launch to Simulator. If your project was previously deployed to SAP Mobile Platform Server, you will need to re-deploy the application to push updates to users. Follow the steps listed in Deploying a Kapsel App on SAP Mobile Platform Server.
