When you set the version no. and date in the rdk, where does this put in the upgraded app, I cant find it in sysenv.

Barry,

My guess (could be wrong) is that this information is collected for a) display in the RDK install Setup.exe wizard and b) for your use / manipulation at time of install.

One might have thought that this information would go into field(s) of the SYSAPP record for the application but no dict is defined.

In my own apps I created a SYSENV record UPGRADE_LOG*APPID and populated it with control information such as UserID and version info etc as passed in the SYSUPGRADE table and a separate record in SYSENV - RDK_DEPLOYREPOS*APPID which contains the list of Entity IDs passed in the upgrade.

Good info, thanks, I might go down the path of manually updating an UPGRADE_VERSION*APPID record in SYSENV with just the release details I require version/build/release, and of cause also create it as an entity or whatever it is that is needed to show in the rdk 'changes since…'.

Have you thought about using David Goddards RDK installation routine. Use it all the time, works like a treat.

Forgot about it, 'where do ya get it'

I'll email you a copy Barry.

FYI I'm in the middle of adding the RTI_DIFF checking to the RDK installer so you can check what's different from what's currently installed to what's about to be installed.
