Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
WebClient Applications

Defining the application with the WebClient Application Assembler

With the WebClient Application Assembler, you create a WebClient project file (.wcp file), a definition of the latest version of an application. After building the project file, you generate a set of deployment files for this latest version. These generated deployment files are placed in a version-specific directory under an output directory that you specify.

You use the WebClient Application Assembler to perform the following tasks:

Create a new project file.
Modify an existing project file.
Generate all files necessary for installing and updating a WebClient application.
Note: To modify only details of the deployment configuration—for example, the location of the application codebase—use the WebClient Deployment Packager, rather than regenerating the deployment files with the Deployment Packager. For more information, see the "Customizing a deployment configuration with the WebClient Deployment Packager" section.

To run the WebClient Application Assembler:

Choose Tools PRO*Tools. Alternatively, execute the file OpenEdge-Install-Directory\bin\prowcappmgr.exe. The PRO*Tools menu bar opens.
From the menu bar, choose WebClient Application Assembler( ).

The WebClient Application Assembler window opens:

The WebClient Application Assembler includes the following tabs that you use to provide information about your application, and to generate your deployment files, including the application configuration file:

General tab
Component tab
Options tab
WebClient tab

The remainder of this section describes the functionality of the WebClient Application Assembler. For detailed information about the options in the tabs and dialog boxes, see the online help system.
