   Example:
   To change the version, update the version value to match the updated version in step 2:
   
   .constant('System', {autoRefreshInterval:20000,defaultAlias:'DEFAULT',devMode:false,mock:false,mockApiPath:'../test/data',apiPath:'/dewebui/api',buildNo:'local',server:'<IP-address>',port:7500,integSrv:'https://cawade-12.x.xx.xx-webui:8443/dewebui',idle:20,timeout:5,idleInterval:10,installedtime:1475658314505,version:'12.3.00.00-2321',pages:{login:'../login/#/',index:'../main/#/dashboard',admin:'../main/#/conn',documentation:'https://docops.example.com/display/WLADEWEB/CA+Workload+Automation+DE+Web+Client+-+Home'}}) ;
   
   to:
   
   .constant('System', {autoRefreshInterval:20000,defaultAlias:'DEFAULT',devMode:false,mock:false,mockApiPath:'../test/data',apiPath:'/dewebui/api',buildNo:'local',server:'<IP-address>',port:7500,integSrv:'https://cawade-12.x.xx.xx-webui:8443/dewebui',idle:60,timeout:5,idleInterval:10,installedtime:1475658314505,version:'12.4.00.00-63',pages:{login:'../login/#/',index:'../main/#/dashboard',admin:'../main/#/conn',documentation:'https://docops.example.com/display/WLADEWEB/CA+Workload+Automation+DE+Web+Client+-+Home'}}) ;
   
   Note: Ensure that the version value matches the updated version in buildinfo.txt file in step 2.
