aspects of the applications are controlled by

3.1 Essential SettingsThese settings contain the commands that get the software up

and protocol name(s). In order to change them properly, you must close GlobalPic, stop all

services, make your changes, and then restart the service hosts again. Note that incorrect settings may

cause your installation to crash, so check all changes carefully before permanently implementing them.

After the GlobalPic Setup Wizard instal

configure these essential settings. For a detailed walkthrough of the installation and configuration processes, please refer to the GlobalPic Installation Handbook

3.2 Parameters After the application has started up, parameters control and customize runtime behavior. Some

parameters are available only when the application is started in service mode.

Parameters are stored in the database and can be edited via the System Configuration tool. Never make

changes directly to the database. Note that incorrect settings may cause your installation to crash and/or

become inoperable, so always be very careful when making changes.

Each parameter has a unique number: Note that the first four digits of each paramet

6. Using Theme DesignerThemeDesigner is a tool developed as a plug

of the software to different languages.

6.1 Installation To ensure that ThemeDesigner is installed properly, look in the GP/Plugins folder for a file called

GP.Plugin.ThemeDesigner.dll. The license option must be activated.

6.2 Initial Translation In order to translate software for the first time, do the

1) Determine if the language has already been installed.Go to the Installation folder, then to the Language subexists for the language for this translation. If the folder exists, go to Step 3, otherwise, continue with Step 2.

2) Create a new language.From the Theme menu, select dialog appears, choose the target language. After the new language has been created, from the Theme menu, select language directory.

3) Export content. From the Theme menu, select Transfer, and then Export All Texts. The texts are exported to a .csv file. Close ThemeDesigner.

Using Theme Designer ThemeDesigner is a tool developed as a plug-in to localize the GlobalPic software and translate the texts

of the software to different languages.

To ensure that ThemeDesigner is installed properly, look in the GP/Plugins folder for a file called

GP.Plugin.ThemeDesigner.dll. The license option must be activated.

In order to translate software for the first time, do the following:

Determine if the language has already been installed. Go to the Installation folder, then to the Language sub-folder, and see if a folder already exists for the language for this translation. If the folder exists, go to Step 3, otherwise,

ue with Step 2.

Create a new language. menu, select New, and then Language. When the language selection

dialog appears, choose the target language. After the new language has been created, menu, select Save to save the language to the default application’s

Do not translate key terms. All values between two “%” signs represent key terms that should not be translated. Note the following sample sentence:: “Do not translate %Warehouse% in this sentence.” Everything but the word “warehouse” should be translated.

Review untranslatable terms. After translation is complete, if a text cannot be translated, it should be removed from the Excel spreadsheet. Otherwise, if the untranslated text remains, it will be imported back to the translated version of the software.

Save the Excel spreadsheet as a .csv file. Preferably do this on a system with strong Unicode support, as you need to know the exact encoding on the next step.

9.1 Allow Multiple GP.UI.Win InstancesBy default GP allows only one instance of GP.UI.Win running on one PC. For testing purpose you can

work around this restriction by adding the following line to the SystemSettings.xml file:

<m_allowMultipleClientInstances>true</m_allowMultipleClientInstances>

Remove it or set it to false to disable it again.

9.2 Parameter Merging and Editing outside GPAs long as there is no direct support for parameter merging within the GP application you can use an

XML export of the parameters to manually merge or edit them.

Most of the parameters can be saved in a readable XML format and are therefore editable easily. In

some cases parts of parameters are saved in a binary format. In these cases you will see some

additional information followed by “***”

binary stuff that follows. As an example for this see the global screen list parameters. Each list can only

be saved in a binary format, but preceeding the

binary stuff is for. This makes it easier for you to replace a single list.

Each parameter may have an individual kind of XML speciality

15. Troubleshooting

15.1 TCP/IP Communication issuesGP clients and service communicate through TCP/IP and WCF. Therefore make sure that all systems

that are running parts of the software meet the following requirements:

- The TCP port that has been configured within the system configurator must not be blocked for incoming and outgoing TCP traffic.

- The NetTCPPortSharing service that has been installed by the .NET installation routine must be started and must not be blocked by a firewall by any means.

- All PCs that should communicate together must have a unique DNS qualificimportant if a PC has more than one network adaptor). Otherwise the NetTCPPortSharing service cannot resolve the correct IP addresses.

15.2 Replacing Faulty Screen ListsIn some scenarios a screen list may become corrupt and no more usable. Ge

screen list parameter from the customer, merge a working screen list into the export and import back at

the customer site. See also 9.2

15.3 Adding New Default ReportsIn some scenarios you may need to add new reports to an up and running system. Get an XML export of

the report parameters from the customer, merge your new report into the export and import it back at the

customer site. See also 9.2
