What is Rebuild?

Rebuild is packaging the extensions with the latest changes made in the system. Note that, rebuild is applicable for applications installed via extension mode only. For applications installed via injected mode, Apty injects updated code snippets into the host application to implement updates and changes. 

When do we Rebuild?

• While upgrading or downgrading the Apty Client to one of the supported versions
• While modifying the Application URLs of the host application

What is Auto Rebuild?  

Earlier, whenever an upgrade or downgrade was required, Admins used to rebuild the Apty Client by clicking the Rebuild button on the Downloads screen under System Settings. Now with the auto rebuild functionality, admins can select the version they want to upgrade or downgrade to without having to rebuild manually. The auto rebuild feature will make sure that when Admins select a version, its respective packages are up to date. Auto Rebuild is a built-in feature that comes with the Client Version feature. 

Auto-rebuild becomes necessary during the following scenarios:

• While upgrading or downgrading the Apty Client to one of the supported versions
• While modifying the Application URLs

The below description explains how auto rebuild functionality works for applications installed via extension mode.

How does Auto Rebuild functionality work for Extension Mode?

While Upgrading/Downgrading Apty Client

PATH: Login to Admin Console>On the bottom of left side panel >System Settings>Downloads

Select Downloads. Admins need to just select the version they want to upgrade or downgrade to and the rebuild occurs automatically.

While Modifying the Application URLs

PATH: To push the rebuild to end-users: Log in to the Admin Console > On the bottom of left side panel > System Settings > Client Version > Under Extensions Client Version, Click on Rebuild and Push. 

Whenever Application URLs for a particular host application are updated and saved, the following screen appears. It asks admins to download and test the latest version locally. 

After that go to the Client Version page and click on Rebuild and Push to push the changes to end-users.

What is Custom Build?

Apty offers custom build solutions to fulfill an immediate requirement from a client or resolve a client-specific issue. This process will be assisted by the Customer Success team of Apty. After a successful roll-out of the custom build, Admins will be able to find the custom version in the drop-down menu on the Downloads page as well as the Client Version page. 

How to Access Custom Build?  

1. Reload or login to Apty Admin Console.
2. Go to the Downloads screen to start seeing this option in the versions drop-down.
3. Select the custom version from the drop-down.
4. Download and test it.
5. Once testing is successful, navigate to the Client Version screen and then apply this custom version as your default version for all end-users.
