Redeploy the WinPlatform object

You can redeploy a WinPlatform object without undeploying and redeploying the objects hosted on WinPlatform. When you make changes to the WinPlatform object, you can propagate the changes by redeploying WinPlatform alone, without taking AppEngines and other objects hosted on the WinPlatform off-scan.

To redeploy a WinPlatform without redeploying hosted objects

1. Select the WinPlatform object that has updates pending.

2. On the Home ribbon, in the Deploy area, select Deploy. The Deploy dialog box appears.

   

3. Clear the Cascade deploy check box to prevent other hosted objects from being redeployed. By default, the check box is selected.

   Note: It is not necessary to redeploy hosted objects if you are uploading changes only to the WinPlatform object.

4. In the Deployed objects area, select the Preserve Runtime Changes option if you want to save overrides to configured settings that may have been made during run time. See Retentive attribute properties and behavior for more information on preserving run-time changes.

   For more information on deploying objects, see Deploy objects.

5. Select Deploy. The Deploy progress box appears. If an error occurs during deployment, an error message appears. For more information on error messages during deployment, see Deployment error messages.

   Important: The WinPlatform object will briefly shut down during the redeploy operation as checkpoints are synchronized. However, AppEngines and other objects remain deployed.

6. When deployment is complete, select Close

   Note: If the WinPlatform object hosts redundant AppEngines, the AppEngine may automatically fail over if the failover timeout is detected by the standby engine.
