It is recommended that you perform a build and PBL optimization on the PowerBuilder application before performing a PowerServer application deployment. The following table shows you which type of build options you should select for the application.
Table 25. 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.
