Pre-release
Pre-release
This release addresses GitHub issue #44 and, in some capacity, #76.
To run with a single configuration file for all users:
- When running the installation package, select the "Anyone who uses this computer (all users)" radio button when prompted to "Choose Installation Options".
- Create a globalConfiguration.json file in the installation directory. This file should specify the directory into which you will place the global configuration file. It is specified as the "globalConfigPath" element. Example:
{"globalConfigPath": "c:\\APDGlobalConfiguration"}
The backslash character must be preceded by an escape character. Example file attached to the list of files below. - All users expected to read and update the global configuration for the Alma Print Daemon must have read/write access to the directory specified as the globalConfigPath in the globalConfiguration.json file.
- Copy your master alma-print-config.json into the directory specified in your globalConfiguration.json file.
- The Alma Print Daemon will indicate that a global configuration is in use by including "Using Global Configuration" in the application's title bar.
- If the globalConfiguration.json file does not exist, or if it specifies a non-existent directory for the globalConfigPath, the Alma Print Daemon will revert to using user-specific configuration files. The absence of "Using Global Configuration" in the application's title bar indicates a user-specific configuration is in effect.
- Note that when the Alma Print Daemon is re-installed, its directory contents will be erased. Please backup your globalConfiguration.json file before re-installing, and restore it afterwards.
The log file names have changed from log.alma-print-daemon.YYYY-M-D to alma-print-daemon.YYYY-MM-DD.log.
