We will be deploying hand held equipment (running win 7) pretty soon and these will be disconnected almost all of the time. Occasionally they will be connecting to sync databases.
Having looked at the Runtime Client we notice that there is the limitation of connecting to only one Db at a time. In our solution we need to attach to two Db’s as a minimum - one for our admin libraries etc, and a second for user data. This model is essential for us so unlikely to be able to change that.
The alternative is a full Servoy Server install on these units (not an issue) but we are then left with a requirement for some method to update the solution remotely without a direct connection to the unit?
Is there a way to update a solution on a server through code?
if I’m not mistaken this subject was covered on ServoyCamp 2009. I didn’t go through the whole vid, but I think it might be useful to you http://vimeo.com/8593825

Thanks Marc - I think Danny was talking about getting config and system files into the Client (reports and other config information). I’ll review the whole thing because he has some good ideas on versioning of the Plugins etc which we had not thought through completely. But what I think we need to determine is if there is some way to upgrade a solution on a remote unit without the user having to go through the admin page to import it himself.
We are working on a tool for data and structure syncing - its the solution that is the concern.
Not sure if you need to restart the server, though I do recall some problems when there were table changes.
I’m guessing a server restart will be essential where table changes are required - I’ve noticed in Developer that sometime the Reload Tables does not work and a developer restart is necessary - though this may not be the case in straight server.
Anyone know of a way to automatically restart the server from code?
