Appeon recommends that you perform a build and PBL optimization on the PowerBuilder application before performing an Appeon Application Deployment. The following table shows you which type of build options you should select for the application.
Table 26. Build options
|
Build Option |
What It Does |
When To Perform |
|---|---|---|
|
Incremental build |
Refreshes the objects that have been changed. |
Before a full or incremental deployment. |
|
Full build |
Refreshes all objects. |
Not recommended. |
|
Optimize PBLs |
Removes unused space in the PBLs as stored on disk, and reduces object fragmentation. |
After building the application but prior to deployment. |
Performing an incremental build in PowerBuilder is necessary because when modifications are made to a parent class, the child class does not reflect the changes unless one of three things occurs:
-
The child class is opened and saved.
-
An incremental build is performed.
-
A full build is performed.
