Transferring Updates to Off-line Locations

At the Hub:

To create the files for transfer to the Satellite, first make sure that the subdirectories in the Transfer directory are empty.

1. Select Utilities>Offline Transfer, and the Offline Data Transfer form will be displayed.

   

2. Set the Transfer Operation gadget to Export Data.

3. The Project Locations text pane lists the locations available for transfer. At the Hub this is a list of all the off-line locations. At an off-line location this will only show the Hub.

   The Hub stores a list of databases allocated to the off-line location. ADMIN will copy all the databases allocated to the location to the Transfer directory. The data is then physically transferred to the Satellite by some means.

At the Satellite:

The Administrator at the Satellite will make sure that the subdirectories in the Transfer directory are empty, and then load the media received from Hub and read the contents into the Transfer directory.

4. Select Utilities>Offline Transfer, and the Offline Data Transfer form will be displayed.

5. Set the Transfer Operation gadget to Import Data.

6. The Project Locations text pane lists the locations available for transfer. At an off-line location this will only show the Hub.

   If the databases in the Transfer directory contain more recent data than the databases in the base product project directory, then they will be copied over to the base product project directory.
