Linx 4 vs Linx 5: Part 5 - Deploy

Linx 5 allows the deployment of a solution to one or more Linx Servers straight from the Linx Designer.

With the solution you want to deploy open, click the Deploy button on the toolbar.


Select the Linx Server(s) in the Deploy window and click Deploy. A notification top right will show that deployment is happening.



When deployment is finished the same notification section will change to show the finished state.



Navigate from your Linx Designer to the Server UI by clicking on the link in the notification window.



Add, edit and remove servers from your deployment list from within the Deploy window.



Please submit any questions or suggestions to our Linx Community at http://community.linx.twenty57.com/.

Linx 5.3.51.7491 released

This release has mostly been about bug fixes and the new Linx web site. We've also added the ability to use Settings in Linx Service Properties. This allows you to change a TimerService property without having to upload a new Linx Solution. Other Linx Services have also been updated to use this new capability.
