E-WMS (Pick-IT) CAB: CONFIG.DAT explained

Introduction

The file CONFIG.DAT is used by the E-WMS CAB (not: ASP) version on a hand terminal, and is the first file opened by the software when starting E-WMS CAB. This document describes the meaning of the settings in CONFIG.DAT.

Description

CONFIG.DAT is used by E-WMS (CAB version only) when you are working with RF or with Activesync communication. This file determines if E-WMS on the hand terminal will work with 'RF' or with 'Batch' (Activesync), for instance. This file can be present in the folder \Program Files\E-WMS (program folder), \System\E-WMS (cold boot folder for LXE) or in \Application\E-WMS (cold boot folder for Symbol/Motorola devices). In older versions, this may still be named 'PickIT' instead of 'E-WMS'.

When working with 'CAB RF', the file CONFIG.DAT has to be updated with your own SQL server and database. You can copy CONFIG.DAT from another terminal (if available), otherwise copy the file Config.dat to your desktop and edit the file with Notepad. All setting names and values are divided by the 'pipe symbol' : |
