Windmill Software Package Configuration

As discussed in the previous section, each Windmill group has access to a specific set of software packages. To provide the correct packages, they must be configured accordingly in the Windmill server directory structure. FOR DATASPLICE 3 PACKAGE CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS

Using DataSplice Files as Windmill Software Packages

  • The following items are imperative in the steps to follow in order to make DataSplice files accessible in Windmill:
    • [IIS Path]\Windmill\config\DataSplice-2.3.10.0.xml - Configuration file to give access to a Windmill group for the specific folder containing the DataSplice files.
    • [IIS Path]\Windmill\files\DataSplice\2.3.10.0 - Folder referenced in the configuration file mentioned above containing the appropriate files to be accessed by the . The path of this folder is referenced in the configuration file mentioned in the previous bullet point.
  • Browse to the [IIS Path]\Windmill\config folder and edit the DataSplice-2.3.10.0.xml file with a text editor.
    • Within the <groups> tag, add an entry for each Windmill group to have access to the set of packages determined by this file. For example, the DataSplice-2.3.10.0.xml file controls access for the DataSplice 2.3.10.0 files. The files controlled by this file are identified in the <baseDirectory> tag: 
                              <baseDirectory>DataSplice\2.3.10.0</baseDirectory>
    • This means that the files controlled by this configuration file are located within the DataSplice\2.3.10.0 directory, as described earlier.
    • Within the <packageFiles> tag, type the following entry, where groupname is the name of the newly-created Windmill group, such as aps: 
                              <file name="DataSplice.INI.groupname">
                                <targetFileName>DataSplice.ini</targetFileName>
                                <fileDirectory/>
                                <groups>groupname</groups>
                        </file>
    • This allows for specific settings to be configured for the DataSplice Remote Client for this Windmill group. These settings are contained within the aforementioned file, DataSplice.INI.groupname. This file resides in the same folder as the list of files for that version of DataSplice, such as Windmill\files\DataSplice\2.3.10.0.
    • The resulting file, such as DataSplice.INI.aps, that is specified above contains the following entries:
      • Server Address - Computer name or IP address of the computer that is running the DataSplice Server.
      • Server Port - The port to connect to the DataSplice Server with.
      • User Name - User name to appear by default on the login screen.
      • Password - Password to appear by default on the login screen.
      • Domain - The domain to be selected by default on the login screen.
      • DomainList - A comma-separated list of values for the different domains to be available in the drop-down list on the login screen.
      • Records Per Page - The number of records to be displayed on a page.
      • Persist Data - Boolean flag to determine if the cached data on the mobile device persists through sessions.
      • Upper Case Login - Boolean flag to determine if the login information is forced into upper case.
      • Import Priority
      • Max Queue
    • For example, the DataSplice.INI.aps file might look like this: 
                              [Settings]
                        Server Address=10.255.255.50
                        Server Port=4100
                        User Name=
                        Password=
                        Domain=MAXIMO
                        DomainList=DataSplice,MAXIMO
                        Records Per Page=10
                        Persist Data=1
                        Upper Case Login=0
                        Import Priority=0
                        Max Queue=2

Adding DataSplice Files

  • Open Windows Explorer and browse to the appropriate directory from the DataSplice installation for your mobile device platform and processor. For example, assuming an Intermec 700 color series device and that the installation location is the default path, the source directory would be C:\Program Files\DataSplice\WindowsCE\ARM\PPC. Copy the contents of this directory.
  • Browse to the directory on the server corresponding to the appropriate version of DataSplice, such as [IIS Path]\Windmill\files\DataSplice\2.3.10.0\ARM\PPC. Paste the files into this directory.
