Steve Gill | Hi all,
Not sure if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find anything recent when I did a search. I am developing an application that will run in Remote mode (C/S) only. The problem with this type of configuration for my customers has been updating the client application on each PC when new versions are released. Using Stores and maybe Replication, would it be possible to distribute new versions of the client application to each workstation, in either a push or pull fashion? Once I get the file down to each PC I know how to handle it from there, so what I'd like to know is what the process is for getting the file to the PC. Any example code will be good. Thanks. Regards, SteveG |

Here are some general ideas that may help: You could create a store in the server and put there the update file of each new release. Then, in each client, you create a local store to receive the new files from the server and a remote store pointing to the store in the server. When client applications start and connect to the server, they check if there is some new file in the remote store and ask the user if he wants to download the update. The "download" can be implemented as : COPY FILE <FileName> IN STORE <RemoteStore> TO <FileName> IN STORE <LocalStore> -- Fernando Dias [Team Elevate] |

To do a push instead of a pull, just skip asking the user if they want to download the new version. ![]() -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I'm still trying to get my head around ElevateDB but the more I get into it the more I love it. Mind you, I don't pretend that I understand everything. ![]() Regards, SteveG |
