Workbench Configuration

Three control parameters need to be set:

  • 'Application Auto Refresh Enabled' - Application Auto Refresh master switch, turns on or off the Application Auto Refresh feature that copies from the specified network location a new version of the Workbench Application file (Values: Yes, No).
  • 'Application Instance Location' - UNC Folder location for server copy of application. This should point to the Instance folder with in the apps directory. i.e. \\ServerName\Workbench\Apps\Live
  • 'Application Replacement Size Threshold' - Percentage representing Application (.MDE) expansion allowed before automatic refresh of the Application file is triggered. For example 0.5 means that the application can be 50% larger than the original copy before a replacement is done.

Environment Setup

  • The Application file (.MDE) must be located in the folder or a subfolder of the folder specified in the Install Directory Registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Workbench International Limited\Workbench\Program\Path' as created by the Workbench Installer.
  • The final folder name on local machine that .MDE resides in must be identical to the final folder name specified in the 'Application Instance Location' control parameter.
  • The Application must be opened from a shortcut configured to use Workbench.vbs

Installer

The Installer (Version 7.30.1 and later) will create the necessary Windows Menu shortcuts and install Workbench.vbs which is used for the Auto Copy Application Functionality.
