Update Projects – JNIOR Supporter
A panel on the right side of the JNIOR Supporter is for taking snapshots and issuing update projects. Update Projects are zip files that contain instructions to Update/Install applications or settings to a JNIOR. Below is how to take/distribute Update projects and Snapshots.
When selecting the Update Projects tab, there are two sections of Update Projects: Official Updates from Jnior.com and Local Update Projects. The first section is populated with the most recent updated projects on INTEG’s website. When viewing the Update Projects for a specific application, the name of the Update Project may or may not be grayed out. Grayed-out Update Projects are still selectable but represent whether or not the Update Project has been downloaded locally, with a grayed-out name indicating it has already been downloaded locally. Opening an update project that isn’t grayed out will automatically download it from our website to open it, granted you have an internet connection. The Local Update Project section is for Update Projects that are custom-made (either by yourself or from INTEG), or an older version of an official release on the INTEG website. When one or multiple Update Projects are selected, you can hit the ‘Open Selected’ button at the top of the Update Projects tab to launch the Update Projects under the Update Projects Tab. Hitting the ‘Open Updates Directory’ will open the file directory in your file explorer where Update Projects are saved locally on your PC.
Once an Update Project is opened and displayed in the bottom panel of the JNIOR Supporter, you can then close, edit, publish, or abort the Update Project. Closing the Update Project will remove it from the bottom panel under the Update Tab, but it can be opened again from the Update Tab. Editing the Update Project will allow you to view each step of the Update Project and change it as needed. Aborting an Update Project can only be selected once an Update Project begins publishing to a JNIOR, and cancels the Update Project where it’s currently at. Lastly, publishing an Update Project opens a JNIOR Selection Dialog that lets you choose which JNIORs from the Beacon Tab you wish to publish to. (If they are on the network and not displaying in Beacon, you can manually enter in there IPs to publish to them.) Then once selected, clicking the okay button in the Selection Dialog makes the Update Project(s) go through each step and perform it on the selected JNIOR(s). These steps range from loading applications on the JNIOR, changing registry keys, rebooting, and more. Progress on publishing the Update Projects is shown via Progress bars for each JNIOR being updated. Notifications are displayed when update projects are finished.
