Rebuilding a Desktop Application type of Distribution is done according to the established Build schedule. A rebuild can be triggered if the Revision number changes in either of two places:
Desktop Application Distribution object: Any change to a Desktop Application Distribution object that causes its Revision number to change will trigger a rebuild of the Distribution. (Changing any of the object's properties will cause its Revision number to change.)
The rebuild will include only the files that have changed since the last time the Distribution was built.
Application object: Any change to an Application object included in a Desktop Application Distribution that causes the Application object's Revision number to change will trigger a rebuild of the Distribution. (Changing any of the Application object's properties will cause its Revision number to change.)
The rebuild will include only the files that have changed since the last time the Distribution was built.
IMPORTANT: Simply adding or updating files to the file system will not alter the Revision number of the Application object or the Desktop Application Distribution object. Therefore, no rebuild will be triggered. However, added or updated files for an Application object will be included in the next rebuild when it is triggered.
