PRESERVING CONNECTION STRING ON THE SERVER

Scriptcase 8 Discussion
#1

Has anybody tried to make a copy fo whatever file or folder contains a connection info for the deployed project ?
Normally what I do is upload new or updated Apps to the server and of course skipping the _lib folder. This works although I’m affraid that when the -lib folder gets some new updates locall (when I run SC update) those updates are not refreshed on the server. I would like to create a script which will allow me to upload the -lib folder but NOT TO OVERRIDE the connection strings, passwords etc so I do not have to do it again. I this it would make life much easier if the connections are stored outside of _lib folder (this should be changed).
For the time being - I wonder if there is some solution to that ?

As long as you don’t delete the _lib folder in production you can upload the full applications including _lib without problems. The file that contains the connectiondata will not be overwritten as it’s been made by the setup application.
When we have made changes we only deploy our apps, and only when a full new release of scriptcase has been setup we will deploy including _lib. But we never lost the connection setup (as long as you don’t pre-delete the _lib folder)
