Updating FlowAPI

There will come a time when you want to update the version of Flow that you have incorporated into your application, or simply update the configuration of Actions that Flow performs.

Updating FlowAPI is as simple as overwriting the existing Flow components, or providing a new configuration database or Action template. You can build the updates directly into your own installer software.

Updating the FlowAPI version

You can update the FlowAPI version simply by overwriting the Flow components with the latest version using your installer software

Updating the configuration database

You can update the configuration database simply by restoring the latest version using your installer software. In the case of SQL Compact this involves overwriting the database file.

Updating a single Action

You can update a single Action within your configuration database by exporting it to a template file. Include this template file in your latest installer software and use the FlowAPI to import it into the existing configuration database. You can overwrite the existing Action or import it as a new revision.
