Program code distribution

摘要

Program code is distributed to various servers in and beyond a network by the use of a configuration management program in combination with a build program. The build program automatically compiles the code, builds the code into suitable files, and converts the code to the proper protocol for transmission to the different servers in the network. Preferably, both programs and their interface are located on the same server so as to minimize errors. The invention greatly reduces the time and errors involved in distributing new applications, "bug fixes" and other program changes to the network.
