EisBaer SCADA - Client Updateservice
The EisBaer client update service automatically updates the EisBaer Windows client to the same EisBaer software version as the associated EisBaer server. If the EisBaer version is updated on the EisBaer server, this is communicated to the EisBaer clients during reconnect from the server and the loading of the project from the server is stopped. In the background the current installation file is transferred from the server to the clients and the client setup is executed automatically. This reduces the time and cost involved in installations with several client computers to a minimum.
The client update service is automatically installed during the EisBaer installation. It is only required for the EisBaer client.
For the EisBaer client update service to function, the installation file must be located in the subfolder C:\ProgramData\Alexander Maier GmbH\EisBaer\deploy\EisBaer SCADA 3.0en.msi on the server. If the update of the EisBaer SCADA V3 Suite is carried out via the auto update from the editor or the server configuration console, the file is copied directly to the correct location. The file name must be exactly"EisBaer SCADA 3.0en.msi".
If Windows User Account Control (UAC, default setting after Windows installation) is enabled, the client update will work without problems. This is the recommended setting.
Notes:
The ProgramData folder is a hidden folder. If it is not displayed, it can be accessed from the address bar by typing C:\ProgramData. Such folders can also be displayed permanently via the view options in Windows Explorer.
If the user account control is deactivated, the download of "EisBaer SCADA 3.0en.msi" is denied. The access rights are missing. By starting the EisBaer client with administrator rights (right mouse click) the rights are increased. Thus the Autoupdate works then also with deactivated user account control.
