An added Viewer provides the parameters included with the 'COMMON' Viewer plus a parameter for identification.
Values entered for the selected viewer's parameters override values entered for the 'COMMON' Viewer. If a parameter value is blank, the 'COMMON' Viewer value is used.
Local copy will be synchronized with the deployment server file.
no
Local copy will be stand-alone, not synchronized with the deployment server.
Default
yes
Note:
The Sync configuration file value, yes or no, in the configuration file that is in each Viewer's local folder enables or disables synchronizing the server's configuration file with that viewer.
To insure that synchronization continues, make sure that Sync configuration file is set to yes in all configuration files that are deployed to the viewer. If a configuration file is deployed to the viewer's local folder with Sync configuration file set to no, the Viewer will no longer look for configuration updates.
The configuration file will have to be manually fetched on the Viewer, the value reset to yes and synchronization restarted
, to resume configuration deployment from the server to that viewer. At that time the viewer will only look to the server for a new configuration file; it will not look to see if there is a non-deployed configuration file that might have been placed in its own temporary folder.

Sync files
Select one of the following.
yes
Files in the Server's deployment folders will be synchronized with the files in the target folders on the Viewer.
no
Files will not be synchronized, even if they are in the deployment folder.
Default
yes

Delay before copying
Is applied to deployment files only.
Number
(Seconds) The default number of seconds CIMPLICITY deployment will wait after a file has been added or updated in the deployment folder before it is synchronized with the viewer.
Based on the steps that deployment takes the actual time delay will be:
gefdepl.dplcfg
3x the number entered
Deployment files
2x the number entered.
Default
300
gefdepl.dplcfg
900 seconds
Deployment files
600 seconds
Note: The additional delay is necessary for the temporary file and configuration file deployment.
Important:
The configuration file, gefdepl.dplcfg, is immediately deployed to the temporary folder on the Viewer. Once deployed, it will prompt you before it is copied to the Viewer's installation ...\data directory.
CimView files have additional parameters
in order to insure that updated files do not disrupt running screen activity. The total deployment time is based on the value and conditions influencing those parameters and the CopyDelay parameter.
Applies to both the server and the viewer as follows.
The value entered is applied in total to each, the server and viewer.
Base number of seconds CIMPLICITY deployment will wait after a file has been added or updated in the server's deployment folder before it is synchronized with the viewer.
Base number of seconds the files waits in the viewer's temporary folder before it is copied to the local folder.
