For JC Sales Staff:

Introduction

Preparing the mobile hardware and software so that a customer can use JC Quick Order involves both the mobile server and the mobile client. A new set of download folders must be created for the customer as well as their inclusion in a .bat script run nightly. An initial full export also needs to be performed.

For the mobile client, initial installation and configuration must be done. The initial download can be done using the handheld device, but it's far quicker to utilize the PDA Emulator for this purpose.

All of this will be explained more fully below.

Note: There can be only ONE mobile device assigned for each Customer Group. At present the Customer Group is synonymous with Customer. If this is not this case, downloads will not work correctly for those mobile devices.

As an example, we'll stage DIS161 DISCOUNT HOUSE

Server Side

Creating New Customer Download Folders

Create a folder for DIS161 in the mobile download folder on the server:

Add a "Done" subfolder within DIS161:

Now, copy and paste the DIS161 (and it's "Done" sub folder) to the "Download_docs" folder:

Modifying the JCSExportWeeklyUpdates.bat File

The .bat file is located here:

Add the following lines:

Performing the Initial Export

Use a web page to generate the initial full export. From the outside:

On the inside use: http://10.0.5.100/Jargon_JCS/ext_exports.html

Client Side

Using the PDA Emulator for the Initial Download

Options -> Admin Tools: 

   Be sure to SAVE changes: 

 Check UDF values:

Back out to Login Screen (set password to "dis161"):

    Go into Admin Mode :

Initial Download: 

  Should take about 2 min.

Copying the PDA Emulator data to the mobile Device

Be SURE to exit the PDA Emulator before copying the database files.

Copy c:\jargonsoft\db\jcs_ff.odb to \ramdisk on mobile device.

Copy c:\jargonsoft\db\jcs2_ff.odb to \ramdisk on mobile device.

Updating the ApplicationMenu.xml File

Manually

The ApplicationMenu.xml file very seldom changes. If it does, it cannot be cached (refreshed) like all other elements of the mobile app.

This is because ApplicationMenu.xml is our start up procedure, and it handles updating apps, and it cannot be changed by itself.

Also, when apps are cached (including ApplicationMenu.xml) the cached versions are stored in the \program files\jargonsoft\cache folder in DOM format with .dom file extension. This means that there is a file called ApplicationMenu.dom in the cache folder corresponding to the ApplicatonMenu.xml file.

Here is what to do:

1.    Leave Jargon ForceField completely.
2.    Copy the new ApplicationMenu.xml to \program files\jargonsoft on the MC5040.
3.    Important: Delete the \program files\jargonsoft\cache\applicationmenu.dom file (or else it will continue to use the old cached version).
4.    Launch Jargon ForceField. It automatically will re-cache the new code.

Automatically

Updating the ApplicationMenu.xml can be done in the field automatically.

If an ApplicationMenu.xml file is place in the folder on the server containing the mobile app xml files (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\jargon_jcs\xml) then, when update apps is done, the mobile app will download the new ApplicationMenu.xml and notify the user as follows:
