Topic 12.1.2: Publishing InTouch Application

  • Published InTouch Applications

    • After you edit your managed InTouch application, you can publish it.
    • A published application appears in InTouch Application Manager as Published.
    • The advantage of published InTouch applications is that they can be distributed like stand-alone InTouch applications, but continue to support the functionality of ArchestrA Symbols.

However, you can no longer:

  • Use ArchestrA IDE to deploy InTouch applications.
  • Edit or add ArchestrA Symbols in InTouch applications.
  • Edit the published InTouch application.

  • Publishing a Stand-alone InTouch Application

    • Use the Application Publisher to publish a stand-alone InTouch application.
    • If you want the published application to run at a specific screen resolution, set the original application to that resolution before you publish it.

  • Publishing an InTouch Modern Application

    • You can publish a Modern InTouch application from Application Manager. A published Modern application can be distributed like a legacy InTouch application, but continues to support the functionality provided by ArchestrA symbols.
    • You cannot edit a published Modern application. You must re-publish an application if any updates are made to the source windows in WindowMaker.
    • You can use WindowMaker to migrate a published Modern application from a version of InTouch prior to version 2014 R2 Service Pack 1. You can then modify the published application by updating the application source files and re-publishing.

  • Publishing a Managed InTouch Application

    • You can publish a managed InTouch application from the InTouchViewApp object that is associated with it.
    • The export consists of a folder containing information about the object and the managed InTouch application.
    • This is different than exporting the InTouchViewApp object itself. For more information, see Importing and Exporting an InTouchViewApp Object.
    • The published InTouch application cannot be reimported into an InTouchViewApp object. A published InTouch application cannot be edited.

  • Contents of a Published File

    • The following table lists the included folders, files, and excluded files for all published stand-alone InTouch applications.
