How to Update Application.cfg Using Tweak Files 

Available in Mobile WMS for Dynamics AX/365FO version 3.13, not needed in version 3.14 or later.

Fortunately it is easy to create a new tweak file that will reflect your setup changes. 

Tweak Files

We can use tweaks to either replace or append in the application file.

A tweak file must have the wording application + tweak. 

The naming of multiple files tweak files is important because you want to either replace or append something and this has to come in the right sequence. 

Mobile WMS reads the tweak files by ascending alphanumeric naming. 

As of version 3.13 we recommend that changes to application.cfg are handled through tweaks. 

You just need to update it on the mobile device. Here is a guide with two options. 

Option 1 (Recommended)

Let Tasklet handle the update. We ensure version control and distribution through MobiControl on multiple devices.

Option 2 (used when developing)

During development you might want to change the configuration files several times and in that scenario it makes sense to manually update the file. When your iterative process altering the file . is complete, then you should use option 1 to ensure version control.

Tweak Files

As of version 3.13 we recommend that changes to application.cfg are handled through tweaks. In the tweak files you can append or replace. 

You can have multiple tweak files on the mobile device, and the sequence matters for files to be correctly read. They will be read in alphabetical order.
