App Store Connect Updates
Once installed, App Store Connect receives software updates distributed via the Intelligent Plant NuGet service - a mechanism for pushing update packages to App Store Connections.
By default, updates are distributed automatically from the “stable” NuGet feed. But this can be modified to update on demand, and/or from alternative NuGet feed.
Change NuGet Feed
The following NuGet feeds are available:
| Feed | URL | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stable | https://packages.intelligentplant.com:443/stable/nuget | Official production release. |
| Beta | https://packages.intelligentplant.com:443/beta/nuget | Pre-release: Beta versions have gone through in-house alpha testing and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product. |
| Canary | https://packages.intelligentplant.com:443/canary/nuget | Pre-release: Canary versions contain the latest functionality, but may not be carefully tested. |
To modify the NuGet Feed:
1. Stop the Intelligent Plant Data Core windows service.
2. Open configuration file: %ProgramFiles%\Intelligent Plant\Data Core\DataCore.ApplicationHost.exe.config
3. Modify AppSetting “applicationHostEngine.appStoreRepositoryPath”:
<add key="applicationHostEngine.appStoreRepositoryPath" value="[Enter NuGet URL here]" />
4. If changing to a pre-release feed (e.g. Beta or Canary), a further modification is required.
4.1 Open configuration file: %ProgramData%\Intelligent Plant\Data Core Application Host\Service\Data\Data Core Application Host.DataStoreApplicationManager.Applications.data
4.2 Modify "AllowPreReleasePackages" setting:
{{{ "AllowPreReleasePackages": true, }}}
5. Restart the Intelligent Plant Data Core windows service.
Disable Automatic NuGet Updates
By default, App Store Connect will obtain and install updates when available. This results in short periods of downtime.
Updates are usually* deployed on Fridays business during business hours. If this is not convenient, disable automatic updates as follows:
1. Stop the Intelligent Plant Data Core windows service.
2. Open configuration file: %ProgramData%\Intelligent Plant\Data Core Application Host\Service\Data\Data Core Application Host.DataStoreApplicationManager.Applications.data
3. Modify “AutoUpdate” setting:
{{{ "AutoUpdate": false, }}}
4. Restart the Intelligent Plant Data Core windows service.
