Update a Deployed System after working on it on personal pc

V5 Question
1

Hi All, Been a while since I’ve been here.

There may already be a simple solution to this and I was unable to find it. Is it possible to deploy updates to a system that is already deployed after working on it from home.

I have a System set up for a client. Every time I have to update it. I work on it from home then have to replicate everything manually at the restaurant. This takes up Restaurant time as the waiters are unable to make any sales or I have to stop and let them take orders hoping that nothing I did broke anything.

I want to be able to quickly update it from a backup of sorts of my home PC. Mainly Actions, Rules and Automation Commands. Along with any entity screen changes I have made. I know there is a built in Database Backup and Restore functionality. And I can manually append data to the Database through SSMS.

But I don’t want to restore my own database onto it as I’m afraid it’s going to overwrite any sales data on the client’s system.

Is there a way around this or am I just overthinking it?

I have asked similar question before.
Answers are usually export/import using database tools (not backup/restor - but picking actions etc to export)
There is not a one stop solution for automation excetera but not sales history.

You should be using the Database Tools/Tools option to export your changes to a txt file and then import them on the main machine using the same tool and choosing the Import from File option.

Thanks I will try that. This definitely won’t affect any sales data?

No it wont affect anything other than updating the options you select. This is the reason we have this tool.
