You can add or delete components and distribute the changes without creating a new Handheld Application object.
The following sections contain additional information about modifying Handheld Application objects:
If you change components of a Handheld Application object (for example, the files that are included in the object) or you want to change the object’s associations, you can modify the object using ConsoleOne; you do not need to create a new Handheld Application object.
To modify the contents a Handheld Application object, follow the steps in Section 4.2.2, Configuring a Handheld Application Object, modifying the settings as appropriate.
For recurring distributions of Handheld Application objects, ZENworks Handheld Management scans component directories at the scheduled time to see if their contents have changed before sending out the distribution. Therefore, recurring distributions send out the most recent versions of files that make up the application.
For example, if you add or replace files in the source directory for the application, those files are included the next time the Handheld Application object is scheduled to be distributed. You do not need to create a new Handheld Application object to include the files. See Section 4.1.2, Understanding Automatic Application Updates for an example of how ZENworks Handheld Management automatic updates work.
You can also force a source directory to be scanned.
IMPORTANT:Because the ZENworks Handheld Management Server scans component directories for recurring distributions, the ZENworks Handheld Management Server service account must have proper rights to access the component directories.
To force a source directory scan immediately and distribute the Handheld Application object if the directory has changed:
In ConsoleOne, right-click the desired Handheld Application object, then click .
Click .
If you decide that you do not want to distribute a specific Handheld Application object again, you can delete its object from the directory using ConsoleOne.
In ConsoleOne, right-click the desired Handheld Application object, then click .
Click to confirm the deletion.
If you decide that you do not want to distribute a specific Handheld Application object to a handheld device, User object, or to a group of handheld devices, but you want to keep the object in the directory for future use, you can delete the object’s associations.
In ConsoleOne, right-click the appropriate Handheld Application object, then click .
Click the tab, select the handheld devices or groups you want to remove the association from, then click .
Removing an association from a handheld device does not remove that application from the handheld device.
Click .
