Produmex Fat Clients – Periodic Get latest WorkFlow Script Assemblies
The current process for a Produmex Fat Client to get updates to workflow scripts is to completely shutdown and relaunch the fat client. This is not always practical to have the whole warehouse do this and often causes key people to have to run through the warehouse checking each user has done the correct process to get the latest ‘script assemblies’
It would ideal to have the fat client automatically check and ensure that it is running the latest versions of the available script assemblies. This check should happen every time the user returns to the main menu or the workflow process has completed completely and the user is returned to the start.
In this way the users in the warehouse would seamlessly get rollouts of any changes to these workflow scripts.

Our Produmex WMS installations also have this issue.
I recommend expanding this concept to also have a 'forced restart' of the client when OSE data is changed that is cached in the mobile app's memory. The business issue in this case is the same as Tod describes, and it may happen more often than a script change.
