Reloading

When making a change in studio, the runtime does not automatically reload the project. It still has the old version in its cache, and will start the old version if you do not manually trigger the reload. The runtime dashboard offers different options for reloading your application. These work as follows.

...

All projects in all projects are marked as old in the cache. They are not directly reloaded yet, but will do so when needed. The currently selected project is directly reloaded (see Reload Project), but the others are not. When reaching such a project in a different way, for example by the Service call type: AQ_StartProject or Container type: AQ_Dashboard_ProjectWidget, it is loaded into cache while the project is executed. This may lead to a slow response time during the first execution of your project. This is only a something you might experience in development environments.

Reload Branch

...

The reload branch lets you choose a branch and marks all projects in that branch as old. If you have the same branch name in different repositories, it marks each project in each of these branches as old. The same behavior as for the Reload Project is observed. When creating a new feature branch in studio, the branch name only is added to the drop-down when a reload has taken place. This can be a Reload Projects, but could also be a Reload Project if the selected project is in the new branch.

UI Text Box
typeinfo

The dropdown filters in a case insensitive manner. When naming two branches with the same characters but in different cases, then only one of them is shown in the dropdown, and reloaded when pressed. It is therefore advisable to give each branch a different name.

Reload Configuration

This button reloads all settings from all property files. It also marks all projects as old (See Reload Projects).
