AddonSoftware Administration - Package Addon Installation

Function

 

This utility packages into a single jar file, an entire Barista installation that can then be installed at a different location using the Install Packaged Addon Installation utility. Refer to the adx_jaraon log file created in the installation base directory for processing details.

 

NOTE: Paths referenced in the addon.syn file (and application *.syn files) are skipped if they are not located under the aon directory (or the application's base directory). For installation using a version-neutral directory structure, this means the following directories will be SKIPPED and NOT included in the jar file.

 

 

Top level directory:

  • cust_images

  • documents

  • images

Major version directory (lies under the top level directory):

  • data

If these directories are needed, they must be manually copied to the new location and the relevant addon.syn file paths updated accordingly.

 

=> To access this task...

Select Package Addon Installer from the Install/Upgrade Utilities folder under the Utilities menu.
