Updating CAL Client Workstations

  1. The workstation periodically checks for application updates.

    In Simphony release 2.10 and later, prerequisite software is pre-loaded in a local directory on new Oracle MICROS workstations, rather than downloading the prerequisite software from the Enterprise through CAL. This reduces the time between opening a new Oracle MICROS workstation and signing in to the Simphony POS client for the first time. In addition, a CAL package is only transferred if the client workstation is not on the most current version.

  2. The CAL installs the packages according to the deployment order specified in the EMC. The workstation might restart several times.
