We've recently changed from SAP Web IDE to SAP Business Application Studio (BAS). With Web IDE, the latest version of changes to a custom app was loaded in the browser automatically after deployment to our on-premise system. If I deploy a custom app with BAS, I have to manually run ui2/invalidate_client_caches to see the latest version in the browser of the app I've just deployed.
Any idea what the reason could be?

When I try to deploy my artifact on IIS, I am getting the error as shown in the below screenshot. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The "IIS Web App Management" screenshot is shown below:
The error message is pretty clear: You can't use it to install IIS on a client OS (such as Windows 10). You have to use a server OS (such as Windows Server).
There's nothing you can do about it other than to use a server OS or use an alternate tool to deploy.
Using Windows Remote Management (WinRM), connect to the host
machine(s) where IIS or SQL Server is installed, and manage the Web
application or deploy the SQL Server Database as described below:
Create a new website or update an existing website using AppCmd.exe.
Create a new application pool or update an existing application pool using AppCmd.exe.
Deploy a Web Application to the IIS Server using Web Deploy.
Deploy a SQL Server Database using DACPAC and SqlPackage.exe.
Your log mentioned the task was installing IIS, and it seemed the tasking was installing IIS on a windows client OS. You need to check your target machine to see whether it has IIS installed.
I am trying to do a web deploy of a MVC application. I added Copy files to remote machine, IIS management and IIS web deployment.
I need to deploy it to an application inside App pool.
Going through the video URL below
https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=tfs-visual-studio-2015-implementing-continuous-delivery&author=marcel-devries&name=tfs-visual-studio-2015-implementing-continuous-delivery-m4&clip=4&mode=live.
The author ask's to specify the website name. In my case the website name is the application name in the app pool.
How do I specify the application name under an app pool in website name parameter of IIS management.
Based on your description the website name shoule be the application name, so just put the application name as the website name parameter.
Please read the Overview and parameters instruction for the WinRM - IIS Web App Management task . And this Deploy: IIS Web App Manage
Besides, you can also use the MSBuild with arguments to deploy the application, refer to below links to do that:

vNext
An ASP.NET MVC Site That’s Easy to Deploy from a TFS Build
Build and Deploy a Web Application with TFS 2017 using Web Deploy Package
UPDATE:
If you already have a website and you want to deploy your Application under the website. Then you just need to use the IIS Web App Deploy step. The Web App Management step is not needed.
Just try websitename\appname as the Website name parameter in IIS Web App Deploy step. See Parameters for IIS Application configuration
Is there a way to deploy my mvc web app to another computer (which will be used as a server).
Also, in the server, there is no Visual Studio installed, how can I deploy it there?

I have created an MVC application in Visual Studio 2013 and I now wish to deploy this on the IIS of the server so that all employees from within the company will be able to access it via their windows login credentials.
When I run this in localhost via Visual Studio debug it works as expected but I have been trying unsuccessfully to deploy this to a network server and I am unsure of the process and would be grateful for some clarification.
I chose a file system publish from the publish options but I am unsure as to how to get this accessible as an application. I have tried adding the files via the new website wizard and tried the url of 'holidays/' which I had entered but without success. I then tried to add the same virtual directory location as an application from within this website but again this was unsuccessful.
I use Web Deploy with VS. Your target server needs to also have Web Deploy:
Installing and Configuring Web Deploy on IIS 7
Once your target server is ready, you can deploy from VS. Here's a guide on doing that (you can jump right to "Publish to IIS" section if you like):
ASP.NET Web Deployment using Visual Studio
With Web Deploy, you can choose to publish directly or use a deployment package. Once you are happy the publishing works locally, you have a level of confidence your publishing will work in your Live environment.
I would suggest that before you publish direct to a live environment, that you test publish it to your local machine or a test environment that has the same IIS version, and .NET Framework installed.
I have moved my asp.net mvc web application to our staging server and I have deploy it to IIS using visual Studio, as our staging server already contain Visual Studio .i did this bu right-click on my project and click on Publish. currently I need to move the asp.net mvc web application to production server and deploy it on IIS, but I have a couple of questions:-
Should I install visual studio inside my production server. Or it is better to avoid doing so ?
Is there a way to deploy my asp.net mvc directly to IIS , without uisng visual Studio ?
Thanks
Should I install visual studio inside my production server. Or it is better to avoid doing so ?
While you technically could, you shouldn't. There's no reason why you'd like to install visual studio on your production server since you'd only use VS to debug existing projects, however, your website should not be running in Debug Mode and it is a waste of resources to run a production website in Debug Mode. You should have your website pre-compiled and deployed in Release Mode. That said, an installation of VS will serve no purpose on a production server
Is there a way to deploy my asp.net mvc directly to IIS , without uisng visual Studio ?
Definitely, you can publish your pre-compiled website to a location in your hard-drive or even to a remote location and then manually copy the website files to your production server. That is the hard way. But, if you have Build management tool such as TeamCity integrated with source control system...then this task becomes even simpler since you can even publish projects automatically
1.bad idea. production server should have only your app code + advanced log system(nlog, etc) . nothing else.
2.
options:
xcopy deployment Compile your asp.net application and copy all the files to your server. You can do this by using FTP or shared directories. (Or anything else to transfer files.)
WebDeploy You have the possibility to deploy your asp.net webpage directly form your Visual Studio. If you go to "Build" and you choose "Publish Web". To be able to to do this you have to configure your server before. But this works automatically after you have set up everything. It's very handy since your deployment becomes easy to rebuild. http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/09/13/automating-deployment-with-microsoft-web-deploy.aspx
Web Setup - Installer Visual Studio provide also the option to build an installer. This works like installing usual software on your windows computer with the installer wizard. (See the link) http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/06/15/tip-trick-creating-packaged-asp-net-setup-programs-with-vs-2005.aspx
Manage multiple server There is also a way of managing the deployment of multiple servers. It seems to be a bit more complicated but could be interesting for professionals. (Check out on Google Microsoft Web Farm Framework 2.0
from here : Types of deployment in asp.net

Do not install VS on production servers. It is a bad practise.

uisng visual Studio ?
You can use your local Visual Studio to publish bits to remote IIS -
Automated Web Deploy using Visual Studio
Alternatively you can have new deployment strategies like let Team Foundation Server (TFS) deploy to IIS
One more option to is to FTP into Remote Web Server and push the latest bits from client side itself. I mean to ay, publish your site locally onto your file system. Then FTP into remote site using any FTP client like FileZilla. Then push the bits. For this to work, you need to configure remote server for FTP.
