Application Downloads
This section contains step-by-step procedures for performing the
following three types of application downloads:
• Direct (full or partial)
• Telephone (full or partial)
• Terminal-to-terminal (full only)
Note: Procedures for performing operating system downloads are
presented in the section, “Performing Operating System Downloads”
below.
Preparing for a Direct Application Download
Full or Partial?
The first step in performing a direct application download is to
determine whether the download is to be full or partial:
• A full download
transfers an entire application program to the
receiving terminal, replacing any existing application with the
new software.
• A partial download
transfers only the part of an application
program, or related data, that you specify in the computer’s
download control file. Usually, a partial download simply adds
files and/or records to the terminal’s CONFIG.SYS file.
Note: Separate procedure descriptions are provided below: one for
a full application download and another for a partial application
download.
