via IDE (for developers only)
Developers can run the application directly from PowerBuilder IDE using either of the following methods:
-
System tree
Right-click the PowerServer project in the System Tree and select Run Project. The settings (such as app name, site URL) in the PowerServer project will be used to run the application.
-
Toolbar
Click the Run Project button (
) in the PowerServer Toolbar.
The PowerServer Toolbar will be available when the PowerServer Project painter is opened. If multiple painters are opened, then the settings (such as app name, site URL) in the currently active painter will be used to run the application.
via Web browser
Users can run the application by accessing the application URL in a Web browser:
http://ServerIPAddress/AppName
ServerIPAddress should point to the site and port where the application files are deployed. (view more)
AppName indicates the application name configured in PowerServer project painter > Application page > Basic tab > App name text box, for example, salesdemo_cloud.
If deploying to local Kestrel or IIS, you can directly get the application URL from PowerServer project painter > Deploy page > Basic tab > App URL text box.
via shortcuts
Once the application is installed, it can be launched directly via:
-
The desktop shortcut
-
The Windows Start menu shortcut
These shortcuts are created automatically unless the developer disables them in the project painter.
Note
Every time the application starts, it attempts to connect to the server to check for updates. Therefore, please ensure the server is running and can be connected all the time.
