VERSUPD

Use this utility to create the installation file and the version file.

A version file which contains XML entries for version number, patch level, and accumulated CRC for files without patches.
An installation file which has all of the executables for iDocumaker compressed into one file. The executable is installed on client machines via the UPDWDT utility.

Note

The UPDWDT utility is typically executed by iDocumaker when needed. You do not have to run it.

Both the version file and the installation file need to be created where the IDS rules expect them to be. By default, the VERSUPD utility creates them in same location IDS expects to find them.

Program names

Windows: versupd.exe
UNIX: versupd

Syntax

versupd /config /ini /versionfile /installation /base /debug

Parameter	Description
/config	Enter the name of the configuration, such as SAMPCO.
/ini	(Optional) Enter the path to the configuration INI file used by IDS. Specifying an INI file helps you make sure IDS and the VERSUPD utility look for shared files in the same location.
/versionfile	(Optional) Enter the path to the version file. This overrides the entry in the INI file.
/installation	(Optional) Enter the path to the installation file. This overrides the entry in the INI file.
/base	(Optional) Enter the path to the executables for iDocumaker Desktop. By default, this utility looks for executables in the data\config\wipedit directory under the current directory. This overrides the entry in the INI file
/debug	(Optional) Include this option to send a list of each file included in the installation to stdout.

Here is an example:

versupd /config=SAMPCO

This command puts both files in the following path:

c:\docserv\Data\SAMPCO

Here is another example:

versupd /config=SAMPCO /versionfile=c:\docserv\VersionControl
/installation=c:\docserv\WIPEditInstallation

This command creates these files:

File type	Name and path
Version	c:\docserv\VersionControl
Installation	c:\docserv\WIPEditInstallation

INI options

These INI options from the CONFIG.INI files are read by the VERSUPD utility:

< WIPEdit >

ExecDir =

VersionFile =

Option	Description
ExecDir	Enter the location for iDocumaker Desktop’s executables.
VersionFile	Enter the location of the file that contains the version information.
