Deploy the GBC with the Deployment App

You can deploy a GBC runtime package on your Genero Application Server using the Genero Deployment App. The GBC client must be packaged as a runtime package.

As a prerequisite, the GBC client must be a runtime package, which is packaged as a zip file. For details about creating a GBC runtime package from your GBC customization project, see the Genero Browser Client User Guide.

Use the Deployment App to deploy a GBC runtime package on the GAS. Under the covers, the app uses the gasadmin gbc --deploy command. The runtime zip file is unpacked in the $(res.gbc.deployment) path, which (by default) resolves to the $(res.appdata.path)/gbc_deployment directory.
Tip:

If you do not have the Deployment App, you must use the gasadmin gbc --deploy command. See Deploy the GBC from the command line.

  1. Start the Genero Deployment App as an authorized user.
    The Genero Deployment App is located at http[s]://host:port/[gas/]ua/r/admin/DeploymentApp.
    Tip:

    Select the Deployment application link from the GAS demos page at http[s]://host:port/[gas/]demos.html.

  2. Select Deploy > Genero Browser Clients ....
  3. In the Manage Genero Browser Clients form, click the Deploy button.
  4. Use the dialog that opens to locate the GBC runtime package to deploy.
    It must be in a zip file.

    You can drag & drop your file into the dialog window.

The GBC runtime package is deployed. It displays in the list of GBC clients.
