DownLoadVersion

String

Not specified

Purpose

The DownLoadVersion parameter specifies the current version of additional files and directories for an automatic software upgrade that are located in the download subdirectory of the specified DownLoadDirectory directory of the [environment-type] section of the presentation client environment (that is, for the specific environment identified by the hardware type, vendor, operating system version, and the ANSI or Unicode file type).

The parameter value can be a user-defined string of up to 60 characters. (Any additional characters are ignored in the version comparison.)

The version specified in this parameter is case-insensitive.

As you must change the string specified in this parameter each time new or updated files need to be downloaded, your site should adopt a convention that increments this value in some way so that it generates a totally new value for each release.

The JADE binary file versions are checked automatically, and this parameter has no impact on that automatic detection process.

For details about automatically upgrading JADE and user software on presentation clients, see Appendix B, "Upgrading Software on Presentation Clients", in the JADE Thin Client Guide.
