Patching existing server

[Jimmy T]

Hi,

Here is the scenario: there is a remote NexJ server deployed which I have to modify (just a simple scenario, like adding a persisted ‘entity’ class like the first Business Fundamentals tutorial).

My (possibly wrong) understanding is that I would need to get the current ‘state’ of the server reproduced on my local NexJ Studio dev machine; by state, I think that means MSSQL database & java classes (anything else?). I assume there is no way for my local NexJ Studio to connect directly to the remote server?

Is there a walkthrough/tutorial somewhere on how to do this?

Thanks

Jimmy

Check out the deployment handbook in documentation. You can deploy locally or remotely as well as upgrade your database locally or remotely (or generate sql scripts..etc.).

By state, you mean NexJ Studio, Your Project Model (and all base/mix-in models) and the DB Schema (which you can also get from the Project Model).

Thanks for the response. Hmm, looking at the docs table of contents (see screenshot), I can’t see anything called “deployment handbook” (or anything called handbook). Can you please point me to which section you are referring to?

Thanks.

Do you see this Deployment Guide (8.8):

Remote deployment is absolutely possible and the normal way we update servers as described in the deployment guide. If all you need to do is manipulate some data, you may also use the remote console within NexJ Studio.

Remote Console – Runs against a server running elsewhere (a remote server or another process on your own machine). Requires a NexJ user with Debug and DebugEval privileges. Note also that the execution context is not maintained between script invocations; if you need to define a local variable to do a multi-step operations, wrap the commands in a (begin ) block if using scheme.
