Hi,



I would like to deploy my package to another server but i would like to exclude some objects as described attached.



ps. The destination server has a database installed with other filegroups and DDT Package-It shown me an error about these filegroups.

Is it possible to configure the exclusion objects?





Thanks

Trent, our basic needs consists in:

We created a new column on a table customers called flag_email in our enviroment.

We have to deploy this new column for all of customers that runs our system (developed with strataframe).

Is there a solution to do this when the users dowlnload the new version?



ps. Note that our customers are spreaded in our whole country.



Thanks.

Absolutely.  That is the entire purpose of the DDT.  We have the very same need for our medical application.  The DDT is to be used to design the data structures.  So when you have a change that you want to deploy, you would just recreate the package.  Then you can either send out a program that uses the DDT API (DatabaseMigrator...there is a sample that comes with the framework) to update those structures.  We implement this into our installations, but you can just as easily have a program that is just a console app or a WinForms dialog that pops up and runs.  Or, if you want to get really fancy, just have a service that runs on the client and looks for an update on a server somewhere, and when it finds one, it downloads and automatically schedules a time for an update...that would be the 100% automated route.

Thanks Trent!

I will study this.
