Archive PC Data

Select Archive PC Data if you wish to archive any PC files transferred to the PDA during HotSync. Any data files sent from the PC are renamed with a prefix of “old_” after a successful HotSync if this option is selected. In a multi-user environment, many users would not select this option because it prevents any other user from receiving updated PC files. PC Files include both list contents as well as any session data needing upload to the PDA.

Note: Without this option, your upload files will be uploaded every time you perform a HotSync, which may cause the HotSync process to take longer than necessary.

Use Custom HotSync Folder (Pro version only)

If you wish to HotSync data to a specific folder on your machine, specify it here. This is especially useful if you are running automated processing scriPOS-X and have multiple users performing individual HotSync operations. This option allows you to have all users HotSync their data to a common location. The transferred filenames are changed to include the username that sent the data. An example of a filename using this option is S01_data_johnsmith.txt.

When the Custom HotSync Folder feature is used, the “ToPDA” folder is expected as a sub-folder of the specified Custom HotSync Folder. For more information about the ToPDA folder, refer to section 5.5 on uploading data to your PDA.

Note: If the specified Custom HotSync folder cannot be created, the data will be transferred to the default HotSync folder. If you are having trouble using this feature, double check the HotSync log file for any error messages after a HotSync.

3.2.3Data Storage and Transfer Settings

Data settings are used to control the format of the session’s data file sent to the PC during a HotSync.
