modules for selling and support

[amcgilly]

I have run into several clients who would like the ability to upgrade multiple client sites without having to bo to each server and upload/activate the new solution. These certainly appreciate the ease with which Servoy allows them to update their clients - it's an absolute dream compared to upgrading their FileMaker users - but still, it would be nice if they could upgrade many clients at once.

Another thing to consider is creating a limited server console that only allows uses to import and activate solutions. Perhaps make this based on server login priveleges. This way developers could authorize certain trusted people at the client site to import new solution releases that are sent to them, without worrying that they might do something stupid from within the server console.

Any news on any of these features?

It would be an excellent add on. My vote for it

Hi guys.

We have undertaken some significant development with our Software-Updater (client-runtime) and Software-Update-Builder (developer-design-time) plugins.
R1.2.11 will be released today (6th July).

It already supports updating your clients without going near a Servoy Server for resources that are known to exist outside of the Servoy Repository.
The next release will support an automated solution import at each client.

Once you build a client and deploy it with an Updater plugin, then your clients will automatically receive a message that updates are available at a location you specified when you built the Client and the Update.
The Software Updater client runtime connects to the HTTP server you specified at design-time and downloads whatever resources you have pushed up there with your latest Update Message. This can include .servoy solution files.
