Hi List,
I have a couple of questions regarding package builds and deployment. We are using Xe on NT Intel with Oracle database. Service pack 15.1.
Question 1
----------
We create a project in DV7333 with six new objects in it; 3 data structures, 2 business functions and 1 table. The project was promoted to PY7333 and all objects show as being present in DV and PY pathcodes according to the OMW information screen.
We then go to the deployment server to build an update package so that we can make the new objects available to our users in PY. I therefore log onto the deployment server in PY7333 environment and create an update package, based on our last full package for PY and select the six objects using the project name on the appropriate panel. Apart from this we take all defaults on package assembly panels.
We then enter package build and select all fat client workstations (we only have about 10) and our enterprise server. The build returns successful after a short time.
I now log onto the deployment server in the DEP7333 environment and create a new deployemnt record for the package. I select deploy and after a brief while the package deploys succesfully on the enterprise server (or so the report says).
However, when I log on to my fat client, although I am offered the package, it seems to sit a while on the JITI panel and then reverts to OneWorld or to the desktop display.
My questions is, is there any way to know whether the business functions are now on my client or not - the program does not work correctly but I do not know if this the application in general or the business function not being deployed properly. Am I creating the package properly? Update packages have not been used before as we have only just started to do the development promotion and do not want to keep building full packages for one/two application updates.
Question 2
----------
What approach do list users take when applying an update package to windows terminal service servers? We are using Citrix metaframe and get all kinds of trouble trying to install an update package to it.#
The manual says that a change to teh Package.INF is required and then use the Add/Remove programs option with Setup.EXE. What change is needed to Package.INF and how do we get the package onto Citrix?
Any help will be most grateful,
