openIMIS components: Web Application v1.3.0 and later.
Implementation roles required: IT Officer / Developer
We suggest using Visual Studio to publish the updated version.
Video tutorial
In the previous sections, we have seen how to update the escape procedures and to add new language translation. In this section, we will publish the new customised Web Application in a folder and deploy it over the previously installed generic version.
Publish the customised Web Application For detailed documentation on publishing using Visual Studio, visit the how to deploy to a local folder webpage.
Open in Visual Studio the Web Application .Net solution updated in the previous steps
In Solution Explorer, right-click the IMIS project and choose Publish (or use the Build > Publish menu item)
The default target location is the publish folder under the Web Application solution folder. If you wish to change the target location then you just edit the configuration.
Press the Publish button
Deploy the localized Web Application
To deploy the localized Web Application published in the previous section, please follow the same steps from Web Application installation steps. Depending on your choice, you can:
deploy as a new site (follow from the Configure IIS steps - you will need to change the binding ports or map different DNS as hostname)
OR
replace the previous version by copying the files from the published Web Application over it, but:
do not replace Archive, Extracts, FromPhone, Images, and Workspace folder to prevent losing previous work
make sure the IMISConnectionString is updated
you don't need to edit permissions to Windows event logs again
