We have about 70 users, running from a menu (exe), various apps (dlls). If
during the day, we have an urgent fix to an app, it's almost impossible to
get everyone out in order to update it. Is there a way to implement some
procedure where I can migrate a change to app xyz, with the name xyz_ver2?
When a user leaves app xyz and goes back in, they automatically end up
running app xyz_ver2. In this way the users painlessly move on to the new
version.
Are there products out there for this? Could I code a simple do-it-yourself
version?
My initial thoughts - in the menu program, when a selection is made, e.g.
Client Maintenance, I read a text file called ClientMaintenanceVer.txt. In
the text file is the current dll version to run e.g. ClientMaintenanceV1_1.
If I want users to move on to V1_2, then I prepare the dll, then change the
text file to point to the new dll. Sound o.k.? Any improvement on that?
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.
