If you choose to package the installable cloud app as an executable installer, a zipped file, or a folder, you will need to install the installable cloud app to the server(s).
To install the installable cloud app to the server:
-
Set up a server. You can follow instructions in Server setup.
-
Install the installable cloud app to the server.
-
If the generated package is the executable installer ([appname].exe), then
To run the executable installer, double click the [appname].exe file, then input the web root of the server, and then click Install. Wait until the installation is completed.
The following file and folders will be installed under the web root:
-
the "CloudAppPublisher" folder which contains the cloud app launcher and the PowerBuilder runtime files
-
the "[appname]" folder (named after the App name configured in IDE, for example "salesdemo_cloud") which contains the application files
-
the "[solutionname]_API" folder which contains a release version of PowerServer Web APIs.
-
the web.config file used by IIS to invoke the PowerServer Web APIs.
-
-
If the app package is the zip package ([appname].zip), then
To de-compress the zip package, right click the [appname].zip file and select Extract. Copy the file and subfolders to the web root of the server, as shown in the figure below.
-
If the app package is a folder, then directly copy the file and subfolders from this folder to the web root of the server.
Note
Do not manually change the name of the installed or de-compressed application folder on the server, otherwise the application uninstall program will fail to run.
