Update the application

Note

Now you change a background color in the application and republish it to the server, then test the notification feature.

  1. On the development computer, open w_pbtutor_basesheet and change its BackColor property from ButtonFace to a color of your choice and save and close the window.

  2. Select Design>Deploy or click the Deploy button on the PainterBar.

    PowerBuilder builds and deploys the application.

  3. Select Design>Publish or click the Publish button on the PainterBar.

    PowerBuilder publishes the updated application. If you look in the Inetpub\wwwroot\acmeupdate folder, you see 1.0.0.0 and 1.0.0.1 subdirectories.

  4. On the development or client computer, right-click the Acme Update notifier icon and select Check for Update.

    A pop-up window displays informing you that a new version of Acme Update is available on the server.

  5. Right-click the Acme Update notifier icon again and select Retrieve Update.

    The updated version of the application is downloaded.

  6. Right-click the Acme Update notifier icon again and select Restart with New Version.

    The Welcome window opens.
