Hi Everyone, I've been mining the 4D KB looking for a technique whereby I can automatically update a 4D Server merged application. I'd like to do the following:
> Set a time when the merged server application will send a notice to users that it will shut down > Merged app then shuts down after 5 minutes > New .4DC and .4DIndy files replace the existing files in the "Server Database" folder > Merged app is relaunched I know this was discussed before, but I can't find what I'm looking for. In my scenario, the version of 4D would remain the same, only the structure file would be changed. Right now I do this manually and every time I do it, I know there's a better way. Can anyone point me in a direction, or wish to share some code to do this? Windows evironment. I imagine that somehow control is passed to an external executable (Windows environment) that then copies the files after the merged app terminates and then after the copy is complete, launches the merged app. Thoughts? Thank you!
