Deploying a Custom Assignment Manager

After you have modified and tested the changes you have made to Assignment Manager, you can then deploy this custom version of Assignment Manager.

To deploy the Assignment Manager Server

  1. In Visual Studio .NET, open AssignmentManager.sln.
  2. On the Build menu, choose Build Solution.

    The following file is created during the build process:

    AMSetup.msi   located in \...\Assignment Manager Server\Setup\AMSetup\<buildtype>\.

    For example, c:\Assignment Manager Server\Setup\AMSetup\Debug\AMSetup.msi.

  3. The file AMSetup.msi is located by default in \...\Setup\AMSetup\<buildtype>\, where <buildtype> refers to Debug, Release, or another custom build configuration. Copy this file to the machines where you want to install Assignment Manager.

Users who do not need to have the Assignment Manager server components installed should only install client pieces, as appropriate.

To deploy the Assignment Manager Clients

  1. In Visual Studio .NET, open AMClients.sln.
  2. On the Build menu, choose Build Solution.

    The following files are created during the build process:

    For Assignment Manager Faculty Client   \...\Assignment Manager Clients\FacultyClientSetup\<buildtype>\AMFacultyClient.msi.

    For Assignment Manager Student Client   \...\Assignment Manager Clients\StudentClientSetup\<buildtype>\AMStudentClient.msi.

    Note   <buildtype> refers to Debug, Release, or another custom build configuration.

  3. Copy the .msi files to the machines on which you want to install.
