Since the files are managed by AwareIM and we have no idea how they are managed. What if we deploy an app and need to upgrade it.
I'm assuming we can do whatever we want as long as we don't create or delete fields in the business objects.
The next question would be what if we need to add a field to one of the business objects. Does the field automatically when the client installs the new version of our runtime app and keep the existing data? Does the fields get added to the runtime product or does it require an export / import of the data?
We used to have an app that we created a MISC field at the end of each file that had a length of 100 at deployment time. Then if we need to add a field we would add it before the MISC field and then reduce the MISC field by its length. This kept the file length the same and kept us from having to export/import each update.
Suggestions?
