Redeploying a System

Redeployment can occur if an existing application is regenerated from Developer. Alternatively you can redeploy an existing application directly from the Administration Tool.

Redeploying an application either replaces, or forces a reorganization of the application s database.

To redeploy an application using the Administration Tool, perform the following:

  1. Right-click an application and select All Tasks > Deploy.

  2. Select Retain existing database to reorganize the existing application database. If this option is not selected, a new database is built.

 Caution

Reorganizing a very large database might take a long time, depending on the size of the database. Ensure you have a backup of the database before reorganizing it.
