Handling Updates to the OS 2200 Open DTP Application Data Definitions

Situations arise that cause the Open DTP application on the OS 2200 server to change and a corresponding change to the ePortal server messages is required.

If you used the OS 2200 Open DTP View Data Source Wizard to create your ePortal server message, and the corresponding View definition changed, use the following procedure for each server message that must be changed:

  1. Delete the existing ePortal server message. Refer to Deleting Server Messages.

  2. Run the OS 2200 Open DTP View Data Source Wizard again to recapture the updated View message.

  3. If you have already generated a Web Forms or Web Forms Mobile presentation, you must either reconcile the changes with your presentation, or regenerate the presentation files.

    Refer to the following topics:

  4. If you already scaffolded a Scaffolded presentation project, refer to Reconciling Client Message Changes to Scaffolded Presentation Projects for more information.
