  • The tasks are defined at GXcloud.msbuild, under your GeneXus installation.
  • If you want to connect to an existing database with GAM and you want to keep it updated, you need to set your environment property Keep GAM database updated property to True and include all the GAM parameters. If you don't want to impact the GAM database, set the property to False and don't iclude any of the GAM parameters. Further info: Deployment with GXcloud Deployment Services.
