Deploy runtime on GAS

This procedure shows you how to upgrade the GBC runtime to the latest release and set it as the default.

NOTE : To understand the sntax diagrams, see Syntax.

With each update of the GBC client, you can deploy the runtime package to the Genero Application Server in order to use the latest version of the GBC client without any customization. You can do this using the command line or the DeploymentApp.

Using the command line

  1. Use your web browser to navigate to the Products download area of the Four Js web site and download the latest GBC runtime package under the heading "Genero Browser Client - Runtime package - Every OS". The runtime package contains the compiled or build GBC files.

  2. From a command prompt, deploy the runtime package using the gasadmin command.

$ gasadmin gbc --deploy fjs-gbc-<version>[.<suffix>]-build<build>-runtime.zip

TIP : The name of the runtime identifies the deployed GBC package. The default name can be lengthy. You may want to rename the runtime package to use a simpler (and shorter) name before you deploy.

  1. Specify this package as the default GBC client using the gasadmin command.
$ gasadmin gbc --default fjs-gbc-<version>[.<suffix>]-build<build>-runtime.zip
  1. View the list of deployed GBC clients.
$ gasadmin gbc --list
  1. When the GBC is deployed, you can render your application using the default GBC with the following URL:

http://my.server.com:6394/ua/r/*appName`*

TIP : You can continue to use any (previously) deployed Genero Browser Clients by adding the URL parameter gbc=deployed_gbc_name to the end of the URL: http://my.server.com:6394/ua/r/appName?gbc=gbc-1.00.44

Using the DeploymentApp

NOTE : If you are not using the latest version of GAS, the DeploymentApp may not be available. Consult your GAS manual for further details.

Before you begin, ensure the Genero Application Server (GAS) is running.

  1. Download the latest GBC runtime package. The GBC runtime can be found on the Products download area of the Four Js web site.

  2. Enter the URL for the Genero DeploymentApp:

    http[s]://server:port>[/gas]/ua/r/admin/DeploymentApp

  3. Deploy the new browser client.

    1. Click Deploy and select Genero Browser Clients.
    2. Click Deploy.
    3. Select the GBC client by dropping or uploading a file.

The GBC client is listed under the Genero Browser Client(s) section.

TIP : The name of the runtime identifies the deployed GBC package. The default name can be lengthy. You may want to rename the runtime package to use a simpler name. Double-click the name in the GBC client's row and enter a new name.

  1. To make this GBC client the default GBC client for applications, select the client in the Genero Browser Client(s) section and click Set as Default.

TIP : You can continue to use any (previously) deployed Genero Browser Clients by adding the URL parameter gbc=deployed_gbc_name to the end of the URL: http://my.server.com:6394/ua/r/appName?gbc=gbc-1.00.44
