To upgrade your application, distribute the modified versions of your procedures. If you specify an encryption key, you must also provide a compilation procedure.

As described in Initial Deployment when you deploy with encrypted source, you usually want to provide a compilation procedure. Although this is not necessary in all cases, it is a good idea because it frees the user from having to compile your application. When you specify unique encryption keys, providing a compilation routine is a necessity.

All OpenEdge client, server, and stand-alone database products can compile encrypted source. Therefore, if you use the default encryption key, the user can compile your application without a specialized procedure. However, if you have the user compile your application without a script, you must provide adequate documentation to guide them through the process.
