PB Permanent Installations - tips and tricks
Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2015 6:34 pm
Hi coolux family! Happy new year.
I need a conversation about best practices for permanent installations of PB. I need to hear from folks who have built successful installations that have run for years and years.
I have done a few permanent installations and had some success and a lot of "learning experiences."
The challenge is that we have software that depends on user training, then we deploy it where users will not be trained.
Widget Designer can bridge the "knowledge gap" in most cases, but I have faced instances where it is not enough.
- Content management, how can a customer add and remove content without using Media Manager. Remember people expect things to be like iTunes or easier.
- Remote access, both for the customer on a company network, and for coolux troubleshooting over the internet. Hint: Windows Remote Desktop conflicts with HASP!
- Reboot every night? week? month? year? With a WD Event? With Windows Scheduler?
I have many more questions about best practices but I will leave it at that to see who pipes up. I should have posted this years ago!
