4. Install the application on your web server
4.1 Copy client apps (XML files) to web server
Using the Remote Development Utility (RDU) in Jargon Writer, or with standard
"ftp" or network copying procedures, copy the client app XML files that
you have created with Jargon Writer from the development PC to a directory
on your web server.
4.2 Compress XML files for better performance
Run the "jsicomp.exe" procedure to compress each ".xml" text file to a
compressed format (".xml.gz") that reduces the size of the downloadable
client app to roughly 15-20% of the original size. Here are several examples
of the compression results:
| App Name |
Original |
Compressed |
Pct |
| calls.xml |
19,015 |
4,028 |
21.1% |
| demo1.xml |
26,712 |
3,661 |
13.7% |
4.3 Create startup parameter ("ini") file
Create a startup parameter file and copy it to the web server. This startup
file will be downloaded to the WPDA when Jargon Reader is first run. The
startup file values tell Jargon Reader where the xml client apps are located,
the name of the initial xml client app to download, and how the URL for
the server and middleware should be formatted when running remote host
procedures.
