Hi,

I got a situation on using UAB. I have customers runing Client/Server
application. I am going to use UAB to update Customer server. However I use
Silent Deployment in customer side. In other words, HTTP is considered for
customers to run app in their client computers. Then when I update a
customer server, I would like to make sure that noboday is running
application so that it is safe to update customer server by UAB. Is this
possible ?

Any suggestions will be appreicated. Thanks !

Updating a server application with the UAB sounds risky. Unless you can
write custom code that can gracefully shut down current clients. UAB does
polling for updates on a periodic basis and then attempts to shutdown and
restart. I think for server apps you would not normally want that to happen
automatically. You would usually want to have more control of when your
server app goes down, so you go the standard route - taking DBs offline and
shutting down services to ensure no clients can use the system during the
update period.

Thanks,

Sam
