 Installing a web application in a production system is far from simple.
First of all, you have to make sure that other users' work is not suddenly interrupted, notifying them of what is going to happen and letting them finish their work session.
Before beginning an update procedure you have to make a data and application backup to be on the safe side just in case something does not run smoothly in the next phases.
After that, you have to update any files which have been modified, making sure to delete useless files to avoid any compilation error and modify the database structure in a safe way. Finally, you have to restart the application and let all users know that it is available for use again.
In most cases these operations are executed on servers manually and it is up to the operator to remember each step in the process without mistakes.
And all this also applies to minor system updates.
Instant Developer's One Click Publishing feature has been designed to resolve this type of problem. One Click Publishing allows you to:
- manage users' work sessions;
- deploy applications by loading only the necessary files;
- modify the database structure;
- keep a backup of the previous versions;
- restart the application and notify users of this.
All in just one click.
