Sending file updates to specific clocks

You can configure the mass update to send files to specific clocks.

To send files updates to specific clocks:

  1. Ensure the wbsynch.webservice.serverName setting in the settings.conf file of each WB5500 has been set to the clock’s name.
  2. Determine the file update repository directory. The directory is set by the value of this registry parameter:
    /system/clocks/DOWNLOAD_DIR
  3. Create subdirectories with the exact clock names that was specified in wbsynch.webservice.serverName for each specific clock you want to update.
  4. Under the subdirectories that you created in the previous step, create a file update directory following these conventions:
    • If you are creating your own custom update, create a subdirectory with the format update.<a-b-c-d>.dir, where a<-b-c-d> is the update number, ensuring this version number is greater than the last update. Version comparison is done first with the a value, followed by b, c, and d, so that a version of 5.0.0.3 is higher than 4.9.9.9 and 5.0.0.0. You must follow this convention for your custom update to work.
    • If the update has been provided by the system, the update should already be in this format. Copy the folder provided to you into the file update repository, again ensuring the version number is highest.
The specific clock downloads these file changes.
