Install the installable cloud app – PB Docs 2022

To install the installable cloud app to the server:

1. Set up a server. You can follow instructions in the tutorial
   Hosting Web APIs in
   IIS, Hosting Web
   APIs in Kestrel, Deploying
   installable cloud apps to Kubernetes etc.

2. Install the installable cloud app to the server.

   • If the generated package is the executable installer
     ([appname].exe), then

     To run the executable installer, double click the
     [appname].exe file, then input
     the web root of the server, and then click Install. Wait until the installation is
     completed.

     

     There will be four folders installed under the web root
     (as shown in the figure below):

     1. the “CloudAppPublisher” folder which contains the
        cloud app launcher and the PowerBuilder runtime files

     2. the “[appname]” folder (named after the App name configured in IDE, for
        example “salesdemo_cloud”) which contains the application
        files

     3. the “[solutionname]_API” folder which contains a
        release version of PowerServer Web APIs.

     4. the web.config file
        used by IIS to invoke the PowerServer Web APIs.

   • If the app package is the zip package ([appname].zip), then

     To de-compress the zip package, right click the [appname].zip file and select Extract. There will be four folders
     extracted. Copy these folders to the web root of the server, as
     shown in the figure below.

     

   Note

   Do not manually change the name of the installed or
   de-compressed application folder on the server, otherwise the
   application uninstall program will fail to run.
