Application Deployment (Magic xpa 4.x)
The term application is used only for deployment purposes. An application can be a single project or a collection of projects.
To access a project file in runtime, you must create a project Cabinet file (.ecf). Cabinet files maintain the project file hierarchy defined in the Magic xpa Studio. If you have a cabinet file named MyApp.ecf, the application name for remote access is MyApp.
You can open a cabinet file by:
-
Selecting the cabinet file (.ecf) from the Open Application dialog box from the File menu (in runtime)
-
Specifying the cabinet file that you want to open when starting Magic xpa in the Start Application environment setting
-
Double-clicking the cabinet file from its location outside of Magic xpa.
In Magic xpa, the application path is the working directory. You can use the %WorkingDir% reserved logical name to return the running application path. For more information, see the Retrieving the Project Directories topic.
