Installer Enhancements

ZIEWin Installer panel

As part of Managed HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows (MZIEWin) feature, a panel is available in HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows Installer, where a user provide the ZIE Server configuration details in the installation panel.

Here are the configuration parameters,
  1. Web Server Details : The URL of the Web Server from where HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows fix pack file is downloaded for installation. Installer or fix pack is installed on the system by "Start or Configure Sessions - Online" program.
  2. Config Server : URL of the Application Server/Embedded Server, on which interoperability module (.war file) is deployed. It can be deployed on the Embedded Server or on any configured Application Server.

    Example: http://< IP >/<Configured context root of the application>

  3. Config Server Port : Port number of Application Server where interoperability module (.war file) is deployed.

    Example: 9080.

The ZIE server configuration is optional only, user can click Next to skip the configuration, and can configure this through "Preferences" utility post installation. For more details regarding the Preferences, see Preferences.

Auto-Update of HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows (ZIEWin):

ZIEWin supports automatic upgrade. ZIE administrators manage the upgradation of ZIEWin clients by placing the upgrade configuration file in the Web Server, which has the information of recommended fix-packs or refresh packs that are available on the Web Server. The Web Sever URL can be provided during installation or can be configured via the "Preferences" utility.

When a User invokes the "Start or Configure Sessions - Online", the application checks if the installed version of ZIEWin is lower than the recommended version. If the ZIEWin installed on the system is of a lower version, the User gets a notification of the latest available ZIEWin version. The User can either choose to upgrade or decline the upgrade option.

Note: The upgrade configuration file is unique for every refresh pack installer and is shipped along with the Fixpack package.

For details regarding the Managed ZIEWin Configuration parameters and changes in Preferences, see ZIE Server Details.
