I'm in the process of updating our build scripts to integrate wyBuild for the first time.
And there are some decisions which are vexing, I think because I don't understand what each of the files actually contains...
wyserver.wys
This file is overwritten each time I build any of our four separate products. e.g. I have T:\wyBuild\ and in there I have Product1.wyp, Product2.wyp, etc. Building each of them overwrites Updates\ and wyUpdate\ contents, at least everything except for the .wyu files which have a name which is unique to each product.
I assume that wyUpdate.exe is identical in all cases, but that the client.wyc files vary for each product?What about wyserver.wys? Is that an amalgamation, or overwritten each time?Should I be storing each product on a different folder on our server, so that their files are not overwritten/intermingled?
You should be storing these files into separate folders. You can do this by going in wyBuild, clicking File -> Properties -> and the "wyUpdate" tab. Then change the output folder for wyUpdate. For example change it to "Product 1\wyUpdate". Do the same for the updates output by going into the "Update & server files" tab and changing the output folder to "Product 1\Updates".
Do this for each of your products.
Does this make sense?
