11.2.1. General information

<< Prev   Next >>

You can update a client application on a remote computer using several methods:

1. If all client computers are located in the local network or do not get access via a web server, you can use a method described in see article Recommendations for system deployment.
2. If client computers get access to the infobase via a web server, you can use various client application update methods provided by the publication. In general, it does not matter whether a computer to be updated is located in the local network or gets access via the Internet (from outside the Intranet). The computer location determines a URL to be used and the way certificates are checked. The computer location does not affect the update options.

   When getting access via a web server, 1C:Enterprise provides the following client application update methods. They are listed in the order a web server extension searches for the distribution package:

   1. Place distribution packages on a web server and specify a path to them using a dialog box for publishing on a web server.
   2. Place client application distribution packages in the distr directory of 1C:Enterprise version directory.
   3. Specify distribution package addresses in the conf.cfg file.
   4. Configure Internet services for receiving a client application distribution package.

In addition to the above methods, 1C:Enterprise allows you to configure a preload of a thin client distribution package to reduce the load on the network infrastructure when a version is updated on the computer(s) running the server cluster.

This section describes these methods in detail and provides references to the related documentation sections.
