Customization Maintenance Import automation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 30

Hello,

Is there a way to script the import of customization's in GP 2016?

I have the package exported from the server, but i'll want to import these customization's in to multiple desktop clients and would prefer not to have to do them one at a time.

Thank you

    Are these customizations in forms or reports? If yes you can import them once and then share these dictionaries.

    They appear to be both.

    I'm sorry, i'm still really new to GP - how does this sharing work? Where do I need to share them from?

    Tools->Setup->System->Edit Launch File will allow you to indicate where these two dictionaries are kept. I usually have one development computer where these files are kept locally. Once tested you then copy them to a network share. I name the share GPShares. This way all users are using the same version. All user must be out of GP to be able to copy the dictionaries to the share.
