GOAL:
How to deploy Dynamics application with the WebClient
GOAL:
How to deploy static objects in Dynamics
GOAL:
How to use the Deploy Static Objects tool
FACT(s) (Environment):
Dynamics
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
The packaging of the Dynamics application for the WebClient deployment is no different than doing that for any other application that is AppServer enabled.
The required steps are as follows:
Start the Dynamics environment in the development mode
From the Dynamics "Administration" window choose menu "Deployment" -> "Deploy Static Objects"
In the "Deploy Static Objects" choose designated deployment directory and choose "Deployment Type" WebClient
Click on the button <Deploy>
Check if all the required files have been deployed (Some of them might be missing if they haven't been marked as the 'Client' type when registered to repository)
You might need to add the following to your deployment directory:
-- directory ry/img with the framework image files included
-- adeicon.pl
-- icfconfig.xml
-- parameter file (pf)
-- ini file (make sure that PROPATH uses relative paths)
It is necessary to check that all application's static code has been copied to deployment directory and if not copy them to the deployment directory
Copy all required ActiveX files used by the framework and the application together with generated wrx files
Create the new WebClient Application Assembler project file
Create components and add required files
Check that system Dll's and ActiveX are included in the project files and checked for the registration if necessary
Setup the startup command and the Ebullient's configuration and code URL locators
Generate the WebClient deployment files and deploy them on the deployment server
In order to test the application files in the deployment directory before proceeding with packaging with the WebClient Application Assembler, the shortcut can be created with the deployment directory as the target directory and tested the application startup with the Progress client (prowling) to make sure that everything has been set correctly and all required files are present.
