Using make.bat
To generate and install new or modified skin files, use the following format for the commands to run from the <instance>\design\ directory, where en-us is American English:
Compile the skins:
make.bat default en-us
Changes are saved in the instance's <instance>\design\skins\ directory
Install the skins:
make.bat install default en-us
The compiled files are copied to the instance's skins\ directory
If necessary, reload and review any changes to Bravura Security Fabric web pages.
Warning
Do not run the second command to install the skins if they fail to compile, especially if the first m4 file (
links.m4) fails to compile.
Skins can fail to compile if something in the environment is locking the skin files. That can be a malware program, an automated backup tool running at the time, but more likely the product UI itself being in use at the time of the skin compilation
Best practice
Have a test instance where you can compile the skins when the instance is not being used. Make a backup copy of the files on the production instance in case you need to quickly roll them back. Review changes on the test instance, then copy the skin files to the production instance.
