GTC – SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT GROUP 1.4.3. Update Dialog With the Update Dialog you can perform the update of the local database and the auto-update of the software by means of a connection to the remote web server. You can activate this dialog with the Commands >> Update menu item. Opening the dialog, if the software loads from the configuration file wrong settings, a dialog box advice you that all default parameters will be applied: Fig. 8. Invalid Parameters Warning dialog In this case all textboxes in the form will be editable. Otherwise, if update parameters settings are correct, by default the content of all textbox is read-only.
If you want to edit the parameters, unlock the dialog box by clicking the icon on the top right side of the form. Fig. 9. Lock/Unlock option Local database updates occur in a very simple way and are executed through the interaction of SidekickPC with a remote web service that copies information from the Electrolux central Sidekick database to your local computer. The software fully relies on the local database contents. You cannot operate the software if the local database is empty. For this reason, you must perform the initial full database update, prior using SidekickPC for the first time.
Software auto updates are instead executed through the interaction of the application with the web portal which provides a dedicated section for the publication of update files. Each update consists in a single ZIP file that contains all necessary information that you need to perform the software update of your local installation of SidekickPC. The system first downloads this file in your local PC, and then it extracts information and applies the software upgrade.
