PowerBuilder 11.1 introduces incremental builds for .NET application targets, allowing you to save time while deploying applications for testing or production purposes. This feature means that only the classes that are affected by one or more changes are recompiled during the build process.
The incremental rebuild process for .NET targets is conducted as the first step of a project's deployment to a .NET platform. Although deployment remains at the project level, incremental rebuilds are done at the target level. This means multiple projects within a single target can benefit by sharing the same incremental build assemblies or .NET modules.
.NET Web Service and .NET Assembly targets
Incremental builds are not available for .NET component targets.
The PowerBuilder .NET compiler always does full rebuilds for these
target types.
For detailed information on build directories and .NET modules created for incremental builds, see the chapter on “Compiling and Debugging” in Deploying Applications and Components to .NET.
