Full Build, Incremental Build and Deploy within Powerbuilder

What is t开发者_StackOverflow中文版he difference between a Full Build, an Incremental Build and Deploy within Powerbuilder? The only difference I can see is that Deploy allows you to update the PBDs for, well, deployment.

Full Build regenerates every object. Incremental Build regenerates changed objects and objects that reference changed objects. (Reality is that incremental is a little more complex than that, but that is the intended idea.) Deploy launches whichever project is selected in the properties for the target, so it can do an incremental or full build, depending on what is defined in the project, plus generate whatever executables are defined by the project.

Good luck,

Terry.

I set my projects to Full build. It seems to be more reliable than incremental. Full build is very fast even on LARGE projects anyways. There is not a lot of time savings using incremental build.

Deploy is used when you want to build the project AND run it immediately after the build.
