Real-time update of validation files on the mobile device using ITScriptNet Omni.

DETAILS

For RF real-time update of Validation Files from the server to the mobile scanner/device, there are two methods:

1. In the ITScriptNet program design environment, set the validation file properties in the Program> Validation Files> Auto Generate selection to Remote. The prompt that uses that file will go grab it off the server and put the file on the device so it’s up-to-date. This may slow down the data collection process – the whole system may run slower – because there is a lot of communication with the server. Also the terminal’s user may see the connecting blips on his screen, which could be annoying.

2. Or, set the validation file properties in the Program> Validation Files> Auto Generate selection to Manual and then use the CreateValidationRemote function within the program to get the Validation File when the user comes to a specific point in the program. The program can then specify at what point to call the file. This offers more flexibility and allows for more control, and will be faster as less communication will occur with the server.
