Enabling file retrieval in parts

A Web Service was created in the 5.0.2.0 release to support sending large files to the WB5500 Series Clock. The new service splits large files into parts and retrieves one part at a time.

To enable retrieving files in parts:

  1. Using WinSCP, open the settings.conf file in the ~admin/java/apps/wbcs/conf folder.
  2. Add these two lines: 
    wbsynch.softwareupdates.useParts = true
wbsynch.softwareupdates.filePartLength = 50000

    The wbsynch.softwareupdates.filePartLength setting defines the maximum size, in bytes, of file parts the WB5500 retrieves. Files larger than this setting are split into parts. A value greater than 100000 is not recommended. Set to 0 to have the value of the registry parameter /system/clocks/FILE_PART_LENGTH determine the maximum size of the file parts.

  3. Press Ctrl + S to save.
  4. Press ESC to exit.

You must wait for WinSCP to transfer the file before rebooting the clock. WinSCP will temporarily display a pop-up, listing files to be transferred. When this pop-up closes, the file has been transferred and you can reboot the clock by pressing Ctrl + T and specifying reboot in the console prompt.
