Adding Files for the New Software Package
To make the newer DataSplice version available to the client devices with Windmill, the available packages must be updated on the Windmill Server. In most cases, the Windmill Server being used is hosted by DataSplice. In such cases, it is not necessary to perform any package updates in this step. Rather, it is necessary to notify DataSplice at support@datasplice.com when to make the updated packages available to your existing Windmill group(s).
If a local installation of the Windmill Server is being used, the package files need to be updated accordingly. For the sake of simplicity, this explanation assumes that the new build is number 98, and that the mapped W:\ drive location points to the wwwroot directory for Windmill on Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS).
- On the Windmill Server computer, open Windows Explorer and browse to
W:\. - Browse to
Windmill\files\DataSplice3. - Create a folder for the new file version, such as
Build98. - Browse into this new folder.
- Open another Windows Explorer window and browse to the installation directory on the DataSplice Server computer (or an equivalent workstation in which all DataSplice components have been installed).
- On the DataSplice Server computer, browse into the
WindowsCEfolder and copy theppcandhpcsub-folders. - Return to the Windows Explorer window on the Windmill Server, in the newly-created folder. Paste the
ppcandhpcfolders into this location. - Browse to
W:\Windmill\files\DataSplice3\skeland copy thecleanup_files.batfile. - Browse to
W:\Windmill\files\DataSplice3\Build98and paste the file. - Double-click the
cleanup_files.batfile to execute it. If it runs successfully, it should create aResourcesfolder. - Delete the
cleanup_files.batfile from this folder after it runs successfully. The new version of the DataSplice package is now available.
