SMP 3.0 SP04: Agentry - publish changes to productive instance

[Former Member]

Hi Experts.

I have deployed a productive instance of an Agentry application on my SMP 3.0 SP04 PL01 server.

Now I wanted to change the JavaBE.ini file, so I zipped the agentry application folder from the server, replaced the JavaBE.ini file and tried to republish.

Now I get this error: "The archive did not contain any new production application versions".

Ofcourse it didn't !

I am not publishing a new version but a change to the configuration.

Does this really mean, that you must generate a new version of your application every time you make a change for a productive instance ??

Correct you need to publish a new version of the application to get any ini files to update.

This makes no sense !

What if I am using a standard application (version 1.0.0) ?

If I want to change the password of my service user in the JavaBE.ini file, then I need to generate a new version !

My workaround will be to delete the application and recreate it, but this is just really bad design and totally unnecessary.

@Steve: Do you know the reason why this is so ?

The application and files are all copied into the database for use in clustering, even if there is no cluster set up.

The only way to update any the application files in the database is if a new application is setup and then all other files will be updated at the same time.
