Environment-Specific Section [environment-type]

As a JADE application server can handle presentation clients simultaneously, the application server requires different sets of files to be available for downloading to presentation clients. Those files must each reside in a different directory identified by the hardware type, vendor, operating system version, and whether they are ANSI or Unicode files.

The default directory names have the following format.

<hardware‑type>‑<vendor>‑<operating‑system‑version>‑ansi|unicode

The following is an example of a directory file name.

i686-msoft-win32-ansi

The JADE initialization file on the application server must contain an [environment‑type] section that controls the download process for each environment type; for example:

[i686-msoft-win32-ansi]
DownLoadDirectory        = <default>
FullJadeInstallDirectory =
PostInstallExe           =

For more details, see Appendix B, "Upgrading Software on Presentation Clients", in the JADE Thin Client Guide.

The [environment‑type] section can contain the following parameters.
