You can add or delete components and distribute the changes without having to create a new Handheld Application object.
The following sections contain additional information about modifying Handheld Application objects:
If you change components of a Handheld Application object (for example, the files that are included in the object) or you want to change the object's associations, you can modify the object using ConsoleOne; you do not need to create a new Handheld Application object.
To modify the contents a Handheld Application object, follow the steps in Configuring a Handheld Application Object , modifying the settings as appropriate.
For recurring distributions of Handheld Application objects, ZfH scans component directories at the scheduled time to see if their contents have changed before sending out the distribution. Therefore, recurring distributions will send out the most recent versions of files that make up the application.
For example, if you add or replace files in the source directory for the application, those files will be included the next time the Handheld Application object is scheduled to be distributed. You do not need to create a new Handheld Application object to include the files. See Understanding Automatic Application Updates for an example of how ZfH automatic updates work.
You can also force a source directory to be scanned.
IMPORTANT: Because the ZfH server scans component directories for recurring distributions, the ZfH server service account must have proper rights to access the component directories.
To force a source directory scan immediately and distribute the Handheld Application object if it has changed:
In ConsoleOne, right-click the desired Handheld Application object, click Actions, then click Update Now.
If you decide that you do not want to distribute a specific Handheld Application object again, you can delete its object from the directory using ConsoleOne.
To delete a Handheld Application object:
In ConsoleOne, right-click the desired Handheld Application object, then click Delete NDS Object.
Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
If you decide that you do not want to distribute a specific Handheld Application object to a handheld device or to a group of handheld devices, but you want to keep the object in the directory for future use, you can delete the object's associations.
To delete a Handheld Application object's associations:
In ConsoleOne, right-click the appropriate Handheld Application object, then click Properties.
Click the Associations tab, select the handheld devices or groups you want to remove the association from, then click Delete.
Click OK.
