Download
Methods
Supported
Full application
download
An entire application, including all executables
and data files, transfers from one system to
another in a single operation.
Files related to the file authentication process
and terminal configuration settings can be
included in a full application download. During
this process, memory is cleared.
Following a full application download, the
terminal restarts and the file authentication
module is invoked. If application files are
authenticated and
CONFIG.SYS *GO variable
is set, then the application executes.
• Direct downloads
• Back-to-back
downloads
Partial
application
download
A subset of application executables, font files,
and/or data files transfer from one system to
another to modify or update an existing
application.
Files related to file authentication and terminal
configuration settings can be included in a
partial application download. During this
process, memory is not cleared.
Following a partial application download, the
terminal does not restart and returns control to
Verix Terminal Manager or the issuing
application. The file authentication module is
not invoked, nor are any applications allowed
to execute, until the terminal is manually
restarted from within Verix Terminal Manager.
