Re: Calling a .Net console app from IBM i

So here is how I have deployed my console application to our windows
server...

As was suggested, I did a Release build. There are lots of things
thrown into the bin/release folder, but for this project there were only
3 things I needed. First, I needed the TaxUpdate.exe. This is my
actual console application. The next thing I needed was the
TaxUpdate.exe.config. This is basically the App.config from the
project. For me, this contained my connection string for my Entity
Framework connection to the other EF project I had referenced. The last
thing I needed was my TestModel.dll which is the build of my EF project.
So, if I didn't have this EF project, you would only need the .exe and
its corresponding .config file (and I'm not sure if the .config would be
needed in really simple cases, I will test this at a later time). Then
since I was referencing another project in my solution, I needed to grab
that projects .dll in this case. I just copied and pasted them over an
RDP to the windows server in a manageable path structure that I
constructed for further integrations in the weeks to come.

Thanks everyone for your help. I know I'm new to the .Net world, but
I'm willing to experiment and bounce ideas for different scenarios with
this list if you guys have any questions.

Thank You

OK still confused :-)

It sounds like you're describing a standard EXE deployed using an xcopy
deployment where you simply copy all files.

That's how we do deployments with most .Net apps.

That's different than the one-click deploy from my understanding.

I thought one-click deployment was meant to be able to post an app on a
web site and have it auto-download the whole thing without an installer.

In your project folder under /bin/Debug.

So for one of my projects, I go to C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My
Documents\Visual Studio
2010\Projects\SendToInternet\PullFromInternet\bin\Debug. (There is also
a "Release" if you compile it as such.

In there I have the calling program PullFromInternet.exe. There are
other files in there too that are most likely needed as well. Put them
all in a location on the target computer and voila! It works!

We do this to schedule tasks on Windows servers.
