Update Notes

Most updates of DATACAP do not require any special steps (see chapter Installation, section Update). The following versions require additional steps.

Version 1.18: Renaming MDE+ to DATACAP 🔗︎

We have renamed our product MDE+ to DATACAP. Please also read our official announcement.

When updating to this or a more current version you have to move the configuration file C:\ProgramData\AGOLUTION® GmbH\MDE-PLUS\MDE-PLUS.ini to the directory C:\ProgramData\AGOLUTION® GmbH\DATACAP-PLUS and rename it to DATACAP-PLUS.ini. If there is already existing a file with this name in the target directory, you can remove it.

Version 1.13: MDE+ Objects are located in the registered ID Area 🔗︎

Until now, MDE+ objects (formerly handheld servers) had been located in an ID area intended for customer adjustments (50000 to 99999). This had several disadvantages:

• There could be overlaps with other objects in the same ID area.
• Objects had to be assigned in the Dynamics NAV licence and this resulted into additional costs.

With this version, the objects were moved to an ID area registered specifically for MDE+. In the following you will find an overview of all MDE+ objects

To update, please go ahead as follows:

1. Export the data records of the following tables (for example to Excel):

   • Table 80052 AGO ADCS+ Application
   • Table 80057 AGO ADCS+ User Setup
   • Table 80058 AGO ADCS+ User Application

2. Delete all MDE+ objects in the old ID area (see object overview above).

3. Import the new FOB file.

4. Import the saved data records into the tables.

5. Update the object references (variables and TableNo property) included in your developed MDE+ application objects. The following references need to be adapted:

6. Table 80051 AGO ADCS+ Session → 5496901

   • Code unit 80051 AGO ADCS+ Screen Hlp. → 5496901
   • Cod unit 80052 AGO ADCS+ Variable Hlp. → 5496902
   • Code unit 80053 AGO ADCS+ Audio Hlp. → 5496903

7. For the web service “Handheld”, change the object ID from 80050 to 5496900.

Version 1.12: One Licence per Environment 🔗︎

Up to now it has been possible to upload the licence via http://IP-Adresse/setup/lizenz.html. The uploaded licence was stored in the Windows registry thus being valid for all environments. For Dynamics NAV partners who set up one environment each for their different customers, this led to all customers being operated under one licence.

With this version, the licence can no longer be uploaded via the above link. Instead, you must now enter the licence in the familiar configuration file ‘MDE-PLUS.ini’. Here the new configuration value LicenseKey must be used per environment to specify the licence.

[Environment1]
Code = CONUS
LicenseKey = CF040B312BF04BA74.....E599053B6FF5EA09F8FD3547D
NAVWebserviceURI = http://127.0.0.1:7047/Dynamics NAV/WS/
NAVWebserviceName = Handheld
NAVDefaultCompanyName = CRONUS

When updating to the new version 1.12.0, MDE+ automatically ensures that the licence is transferred from the Windows Registry to the configuration file MDE.PLUS.ini.

Version 1.11: Handheld Server has been renamed MDE+ 🔗︎

After almost four years, we have decided to rename our Handheld Server software to MDE+.

With this update the installation directory and the application data directory will change:

• Installation Directory:

  • up to version 1.10.0: C:\Program Files (x86)\AGOLUTION GmbH\Handheld-Server for Dynamics NAV
  • from version 1.11.0: C:\Program Files (x86)\AGOLUTION GmbH\MDE-PLUS

• Application Data Directory:

  • up to version 1.10.0: C:\ProgramData\AGOLUTION® GmbH\Handheld-Server for Dynamics NAV
  • from version 1.11.0: C:\ProgramData\AGOLUTION® GmbH\MDE-PLUS

Before updating, please create a backup copy of the Handheld-Server.ini file in the old application directory. When the update has been completed, please copy the backup copy into the new application directory and rename the file to MDE-PLUS.ini. If there is already existing an MDE-PLUS.ini file, this one can be deleted before renaming. Then restart the MDE+ service.
