Installing SimplyPhone for Outlook
Preparing for installation on a client PC
Data source configuration files on client or server PCs
There are two ways to use the data source configuration files:
– On a client PC
During the runtime SimplyPhone for Outlook accesses a copy of the folder \SPCr that was
copied to the client PC during setup.
Advantages: The search function is available even if the server share cannot be accessed.
As the configuration files only have to be read locally, performance is generally a little high-
er.
This is the default scenario; copying is performed automatically during installation.
– On a server PC
SimplyPhone for Outlook uses the folder \SPCr on the server share.
Advantage: Changes to the data source configuration files take immediate effect without
changes on the client PC.
In this case, the change must be entered in the file SP_Inst.ini. To do this, open the file
SP_Inst.ini with a text editor and delete the parameter value USE_LOCAL for the follow-
ing entry:
SP_Inst.ini - [DATA_SOURCES] - CRConfigPath=
>
● If you delete the USE_LOCAL value in the SP_Inst.ini file in the
[DATA_SOURCES] section under CRConfigPath=, then the local configura-
tion files are overwritten with the configuration files provided by setup, even
in the case of updates.
● If you leave the USE_LOCAL value in the SP_Inst.ini file in the
[DATA_SOURCES] section under CRConfigPath=, then the new value CR-
ConfigNew= entered in the same section becomes effective.
The following applies:
CRConfigNew=False (default):
the local configuration files are maintained and the configuration files pro-
vided by the setup are only copied to the destination computer if it doesn’t
already have any configuration files, that is, in the case of first-time installa-
tion.
CRConfigNew=True:
the local configuration files are overwritten by the configuration files provid-
ed with the setup.
