It's convenient while developing with the MFP studio (Once any files change, the client will get a update notification which is so-called "direct-update"). But how could make this in a MF production server ?
Do we have to do "Replace project war file" in the MF Server configuration Tool and then the re-select a large version number .wlapp
file in the worklightconsole
?
Unlike what Srik wrote - you shouldn't carelessly delete the old .wlapp. By doing so, users who use the version of said .wlapp will not longer be able to connect to the server.
So you if need to trigger a direct update, re-deploy the updated .wlapp file when you need to, don't first delete it.
Do not delete it even if deploying a new version (1.1 instead of 1.0).
You should delete only after you are certain that all of the users of 1.0 have migrated to 1.1.
1.1 constitutes of a new version that was also uploaded to the app store.
You can force users to upgrade by "remote disable"ing v1.0 (and point to download the new version). When everyone migrated, you can then delete the old version if you really feel like it.
Deletion is done via MobileFirst Console.
