Instructions for Downloading JADE Thin Client Software

To pre-download thin client software

Ensure that directories have been specified for the DownLoadDirectory and FullJadeInstallDirectory (if required) parameters in the environment-specific section of the JADE initialization file on the application server.
Copy the files that are to be pre-downloaded into these two directories (and any subdirectories), as required.

For details about files that are optional in specific situations, see "Optional Files Downloaded to Presentation Clients", earlier in this appendix.
Clear the value of the PreDownLoadCount parameter in the [JadeAppServer] section of the JADE initialization file on the application server so that a correct count of the number of pre-downloads can be determined.
Set the value of the PreDownLoadDescription in the [JadeAppServer] section of the JADE initialization file on the application server, if required.
Change the value of the PreDownLoadVersion parameter in the [JadeAppServer] section of the JADE initialization file on the application server so that each presentation client can detect that a pre-download is available.

To install a new or patch version of thin client software

Copy all non–JADE files destined for the binary directory on the presentation client into the directory (and any subdirectories) specified by the value of the DownLoadDirectory and FullJadeInstallDirectory (if required) parameters in the environment-specific section of the JADE initialization file on the application server.

Any files that are pre-downloaded must still be copied to the directory (and any subdirectories) specified by the DownLoadDirectory parameter.

For details about files that are optional in specific situations, see "Optional Files Downloaded to Presentation Clients", earlier in this appendix.
Install the new JADE files into the binary directory on the application server, including the extra files required by the presentation client (that is, the jadmsgs.eng and FreeImage files).
Update the values of the DownLoadVersion parameter and optionally the DownLoadDescription parameter in the [JadeAppServer] section of the JADE initialization file on the application server.
