DownLoadDirectory

String (file-path)

Not specified

Purpose

The DownLoadDirectory parameter specifies the directory and subdirectories that contain any additional files for the specific environment type that are to be downloaded to the jade.exe binary directory on the presentation client when software is automatically upgraded. This must be a valid directory.

If you do not specify this parameter, no additional files are downloaded from this directory and any subdirectories. The downloading of the additional files takes place only after you change the DownLoadVersion parameter in the [JadeAppServer] section or a version mismatch occurs.

The directory specified in the DownLoadDirectory parameter must have the following two subdirectories.

The <default> value for the DownLoadDirectory parameter is relative to the installation directory on the application server. If the application server is installed in \Jade\Windows\Jade, the default location of the download directory files is a directory named Download under a directory with the same name as the environment-type section, as in the following examples.

c:\jade\Windows\Jade\i686‑msoft‑win32‑ansi\Download
c:\jade\Windows\Jade\armv4i-msoft-wince50-unicode\Download
