The app launcher and the runtime files must be uploaded to the Web server, and then installed to the client when the application is run for the first time. Apps deployed to the same server and directory will use the same app launcher and the same runtime files. There will be only one app launcher in the specified server and directory, although there can be multiple versions of runtime files. The app launcher will be overwritten without notice by the one uploaded later to the same server and directory.
To upload the app launcher and runtime files:
-
Select Tools>Upload Cloud App Launcher from the menu bar. The Upload Cloud App Launcher and Runtime window appears.
-
In the Upload Cloud App Launcher and Runtime window, select whether to directly upload the app launcher and runtime files to the server or only create a zip package and manually upload it to the server later.
-
To directly upload the app launcher and runtime files to the server, select a local server or a remote server where the app launcher and the runtime files will be uploaded.
-
To create a zip package which will be manually uploaded later, specify where the zip package will be created.
IMPORTANT: the app launcher and runtime files must be uploaded to the same server and web root where the application will be deployed. If you have not configured the server yet, follow the instructions in Configure the Web server for deployment to configure the server first.
-
-
Select or create an app launcher to upload.
You can select the default app launcher from the Launcher profile list or create your own launcher by clicking the Create button. To customize the launcher settings, see the next section Customize cloud app launcher for details.
-
Select the runtime files (32-bit and/or 64-bit) to upload.
The version of runtime files is determined by the runtime version selected in the IDE > System Options dialog. Multiple versions of runtime files can co-exist on the same server and directory.
Note
When uploading Cloud App Launcher, if you receive the "Error code: 6" error, it means that you have no right to write in the web server folder. The solution is to run PowerBuilder IDE as administrator.
