Add Folder Contents Action

The Add Folder action creates a folder in the designated target client folder.  All files in the local folder are included into the AppLife package during package build.  Subdirectories can be optionally included.  If subdirectories are included, the inner directories are created on the deployed client and their contents are placed inside of the newly created directories.

 

Prepare Stage

During the prepare stage, this action verifies permissions to the target folder.

Execute Stage

Makes a copy of the files that are going to be replaced on the client computer, then adds and replaces the defined list of files on the client.

Cleanup Stage

Removes the backup copies that were made during the execute stage.

Rollback Stage

Attempts to copy the files that were backed up in the execute stage back to their original location.
