| Generating a new DCF
|
If you generate a new DCF using
writeLines or a text editor, and then you pass the new DCF to the
buildSPK or
buildServerSPK function, the function overwrites the old DCF, and the list contains only the packages you provide in the
text argument of
writeLines. The
BuiltVersion is always set to
1.0.0.0.
|
| Recreating a new DCF using the same version
|
If you do not need to increment or keep the older DCF, you can simply regenerate it using
writeLines. Creating a new DCF always sets
BuiltVersion to
1.0.0.0 by default. However, if you use this method of generating the DCF,
Spotfire Server does not register the package as a new one, so it does not distribute the package to the users.
|
| Adding package names to an existing DCF
|
If you only add packages to the existing DCF using a text editor, and then run the
buildSPK or
buildServerSPK function, passing in the edited DCF, the function increments the
BuiltVersion to a minor version number (for example,
1.1.0.0).
|
| Removing package names from an existing DCF
|
If you remove a package from the existing DCF using a text editor, and then run the
buildSPK or
buildServerSPK function, passing in the edited DCF, then the function increments the
BuiltVersion to a major version number (for example,
2.0.0.0).
|
| Assigning a specific version number to a DCF
|
If you create a DCF and want to assign a specific version number to it, run the
buildSPK or
buildServerSPK function and pass in the DCF argument, along with the argument
version, setting it to the version you want. This argument is a character string or a
numeric_version object containing four components (for example,
version = "1.2.3.4").
