Mobile Application Publishing Setup
To open publishing form, use Configuration — Mobile application — Publish... command (to execute publishing) or Configuration — Mobile application — Update published application (if the mobile application has not been previously published).
Create virtual directory on web server - if checked, the application will be published on a web server (virtual directory is created); to do so, you will need to specify:
Name — virtual directory name;
Web server — web server is selected. For an IIS web server you can specify that NTLM authentication should be used;
If not checked, the fields Name and Web server are not available.
Directory — name of the directory to store the publication;
Update mobile application when a database configuration is updated - if checked, mobile application will be updated automatically upon database configuration update.
When you click Publish:
-
a directory is created on the web server (provided that the required option is checked);
-
a directory is created on disk;
-
user is prompted to locate the mobile application in this directory;
-
it is checked if the infobase configuration is updated;
-
if the infobase configuration is not updated, user is prompted to update it;
-
infobase verification;
-
if no errors are detected, the infobase configuration is dumped into a mobile application; if some errors are found, no dump is executed.
The Disconnect button cancels publishing: removes the directory from the web server.
