Important Notes

⚐ Note:

• The database must exist previously, i.e., it must have been created in the instance where it is to be deployed.
• The application is only responsible for creating and/or updating the schema.

⚐ Note:
If you want to apply the strings to installed apps, select the string and click the Apply (apply) located at the bottom right or via the context menu. A dialog box will open with the list of applications and services available on that computer. Select them and click Apply (apply).

⚐ Note:
If you want to deploy or update the databases, select the string and click the Update (update) located at the bottom right or through the context menu.

Steps to update the database:

The update information log shows step-by-step the actions that are being executed and any possible errors that may arise.

⚐ Note:
All errors generated by the application are automatically logged in a file located in the Logs, inside the app’s installation directory.
