Flowcode Support Board

Hi Ben

I tried App Developer Deployment and it's working fine,
but on the notebook the comports number are different

Is there a way to refresh and to change the comportnumber in the Deployd runing mode?

Stefan

Hi, Stefan.
Do you have a Refresh Ports option within the API component properties?

Hi Martin
Yes I did it it now

Hi Martin

In the Deploit App I have a windows with component properties
I have no idea how it works, it always stays empty.

Stefan

In a deployed app, the component properties window only shows top-level properties - i.e. those you create for your project or have exposed to the top level by right-clicking them and selecting "expose" before you deploy the app.

Hi Martin, Hi Steven

Thanks a lot.This is fantastic!

Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Don't forget you can expose the UART comport along with the refresh and any other options.

Hi Martin

Yes I dit it all and also from the chart I expose a lot in one go. It's fine.

Somthing else about App Developper

I discovered a program in the windows menu:

Flowcode App Developer Runtime

I know such runtime from Matlab. I can simply install this on a computer and my Matlab program will work. Is it possible to download or install only the runtime from Matrix without FC9 so other users can install this once and all the.mscada are easy to use for them.

In short, yes. When you deploy a Flowcode App, you can choose to generate the .mscada file on its own, or you can "bundle the runtime" with the app.

If you deploy without the runtime, then you can still load the app on a PC but you will have to do it via the runtime app. Or you can create a batch file similar to the ones generated by Flowcode so your users can simply run the batch file and have the runtime automatically launch the app.

The runtime you need to distribute to your users is an EXE plus some DLLs in a subfolder. Basically, it's the contents of the "Data\App Developer" subfolder in your Flowcode installation folder.

You will need to ensure the deployed app is suitable for the runtime version. For example, if you create an app using Flowcode v9.2, you should ensure the runtime used is also v9.2.

Hi Steve

I think the FC9 installer did this in the picture. Is it possible to have in
in the future an installer only for the App Developer Runtime.

So I can send the the mscada file and the downloadlink to the matrix homepage for the App Developer Runtime

Actually just an idea.
