Automatic deploy
You can directly deploy Web APIs to IIS from the PowerBuilder IDE
(make sure the Web Deploy
supporting tool has been installed to the IIS server):
Step 1: In the PowerServer project painter, select the Deploy page > Basic tab.
Step 2: Select External as the
target run mode, and then select IIS as
the target server.
Step 3: Click the Configuration
button to create a server profile for IIS.
-
In the Server Profiles
window, click the New
button. -
In the New Server Profile
dialog, specify a name for the profile in the Profile Name field, and then select IIS (using Web Deploy) from the Type list. -
In the Configure IIS
connection group, specify the following settings:-
Server: the IP address or domain name of the IIS server.
The port is by default 8172. If you have changed the port,
specify the port here. -
Site name: the name of the IIS web site where files will
be deployed -
User name: the user name that has permissions to read and
write the specified site. The user can be a Windows user or IIS
manager. For more, refer to this
page. -
Password: the user password that has permissions to read
and write the specified site.
-
-
Click Validate Connection to
make sure the connection is successful. -
(Optional) In the Site URL
field, specify the URL of the IIS web site where files will be
deployed, for example, https://172.16.100.2:80.The site URL can be used to formulate the application URL and
the Web API URL (the client app will be deployed with the Web API by
default). If you have not specified the site URL, the Web API URL
will be http://localhost by default, and you can change this value
in the client app > apprun.json file.
Step 4: Click OK to create the
profile and return to the Deploy >
Basic tab.
Step 5: Select the server profile you created just now from the
Server list.
Step 6: Click the Build & Deploy
Project button from the toolbar to deploy the Web
APIs.
