Building workspaces

You can build and deploy workspaces from within PocketBuilder or from a command line. For information on working from a command line, see the Resource Guide.

Build and deploy options

In the development environment, you can specify how you want the targets in your workspace to be built and deployed. You can then build individual targets or all the targets in the workspace.

Do this

Set deployment options for a target
