Although the PowerServer C# solution allows you to make changes to it, you will have to be aware that some settings in the solution might be updated every time when the PowerServer project is built and deployed in the PowerBuilder IDE.

When selecting a different authentication template, you will be prompted whether to overwrite the existing authentication. |

|
Port number in the "Web API URL" field (Note: the complete URL of Web API is deployed to the Web server all the time) |
ServerAPIs project > Properties > launchSettings.json > port number in "applicationUrl" |
Deploy |
Determined by the "Overwrite server settings (DB connection, Web API port, and license)" option. When the option is selected, the port number in "applicationUrl" will be updated, otherwise it will not be changed. |
|
License settings |
ServerAPIs project > Server.json > "PowerServer" > "LicenseKey" and "LicenseCode" |
Deploy |
Determined by the "Overwrite server settings (DB connection, Web API port, and license)" option. When the option is selected, both "LicenseKey" and "LicenseCode" will be updated, otherwise they will not be changed. |
|
Database Configuration window > the current DB connection profile |
ServerAPIs project > AppConfig > AppConfig.json |
Deploy |
Overwritten all the time. |
|
Database Configuration window > database caches configured in all DB connection profiles |
ServerAPIs project > AppConfig > Applications.json or Applications.[DBConnectionProfile].json > "Connections" > "Default" > [cache name] ("Default" refers to the default cache group.) |
Deploy |
Determined by the "Overwrite server settings (DB connection, Web API port, and license)" option. New caches will be added regardless if this option is selected or not. If there are multiple caches, there will be multiple [cache name] blocks. When this option is selected, and if a cache with the same name is configured in the Database Configuration window, the corresponding [cache name] block will be overwritten; if there is no cache with the same name in the Database Configuration window, the [cache name] block will not be overwritten. When this option is not selected, all [cache name] blocks will not be overwritten. By the way, if you create new cache groups (besides "Default"), these new cache groups will not be overwritten regardless if this option is selected or not. |

Database Configuration window > transaction-to-cache mappings configured in all DB connection profiles |
ServerAPIs project > AppConfig > Applications.json or Applications.[DBConnectionProfile].json > "Applications" > [app name] > "CloudTransactions" > [transaction name] |
Deploy |
Determined by the "Overwrite server settings (DB connection, Web API port, and license)" option. New transactions will be added regardless if this option is selected or not. If there are multiple transaction objects, there will be multiple [transaction name] blocks. When this option is selected, and if a transaction object with the same name is configured in the Database Configuration window, the corresponding [transaction name] block will be overwritten; if there is no transaction with the same name in the Database Configuration window, the [transaction name] block will not be overwritten. When this option is not selected, all [transaction name] blocks will not be overwritten. |
