A
WebClient HotFix is a full installation of the WebClient product and therefore different from the standard
OpenEdge HotFix install process:
- .Applying a WebClient HotFix is not just a matter of copying files from an archive to the WebClient install like an OpenEdge Hotfix is applied, it has to be deployed like a WebClient install instead.
- If the HotFix is built on a different Service Pack than is currently installed, it is not necessary to upgrade WebClient to the latest Service Pack first.
- The WebClient HotFix contains all the fixes already in Service Pack(s) up to the hotfix version
1. Hosting The WebClient HotFixHost the webclient HotFix where WebClient users can download it.
Make changes to the
bootstrap.htm and
webclient.htm as needed.
2. Modifying The ApplicationIn order for
IntelliStream to automatically upgrade the WebClient version, another version of the Application needs to be created with a new WebClient version number.
- Open the Application Project in the WebClient Application Assembler
- Go to the WebClient tab
- In the WebClient version, enter the version number of the Hotfix
e.g. 10.2B0607, 11.1.0.017
For pre-11.0 releases, the format is: MM.NTSSHH
Where:
MM is the major version ("10")
N is the minor version ("2")
T is the maintenance version letter (e.g. "B")
SS is the service pack level, requiring 2 digits (e.g. "06")
HH is the hotfix level, requiring 2 digits (e.g. "07")
For 11.0+ releases, the format is: MM.EE.SS.HH
Where:
MM is the major version ("11")
EE is the enhancement version ("1")
SS is the service pack level(e.g. "0")
HH is the hotfix level, requiring 3 digits (e.g. "017")
- Enter the URL for the hosted WebClient hotfix
- Generate a new version of the Application
- Deploy the new version to the Deployment Server
The next time WebClient users try to start the application, WebClient will be upgraded.
