[Ivan Atanasov]

Hi Is there a way to run app. wcp file from command line (batch mode) instead of using the Generate dialog from WebClient Application Assembler? From the documentation app. wcp is the WebClient text parameter file which generates some files. To my understanding after you press Ok button in Generate dialog this fires some program in the back-end which uses app.wcp to create the following files/directory. AppName.cab app.prowcapc app.log diffs ( folder with previous version ex. AppName1to2.cab , AppName2to3.cab ) Surely this functions similar to bprowcappdep c:\WebClient\deployment\MyApp.wcd Cannot find anything in the progress documentation/manual which suggest if this is possible. Why asking this question? If you have new files/external libraries, etc they need to be manually added (inconvenient/annoying). Can use scripts to add/remove files from app.wcp (parameter file) however I still need to open it up WebClient Application Assembler to generate/re-generate the application version. Using OE 11.5 Thanks
