Hello guys !
I have been working on Mass deployment on retail POS.
I am following following link:
it includes some steps and I have a confusion on some steps.
Can you please help me resolve confusion about the given points and create deployment package:
Create the customization. For more information about how to customize Retail POS, see Extend Point of Sale. [Point is clear]
Start Visual Studio. [Point is clear]
Open the following project: My Documents > Retail SDK > Scaleout Deployment > CustomizationDeployment > CustomizationDeployment.csproj. [Point is clear]
Open the CustomizationDeployment.xml file. [Point is clear]
Enter values for patchName and company. [Where should |I get patchName and company from ?]
List the source files that are needed for the customization. [What source files are we talking about here ? are we talking about DLL files that we need to deploy ?]
If you are customizing Retail Channel Configuration Utility, provide the path where the utility is installed. The default installation path is provided as an example in the file. [Not concerned step in my case]
Include the customizations in the Files folder in your project. [Where is this Files folder located ?]
Build the project. The binary .exe file will be used to generate a software update in Updates Publisher.
Open a Command Prompt window and change the directory to the folder where UpdateGenerator.exe is located. By default, the file is located at <Drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Retail Scaleout Deployment\UpdateGenerator.
Run the following command to generate a catalog file:
UpdateGenerator.exe <Path to .exe file> -o <outputfile.cab>
Start System Center Updates Publisher. [Is this a separate stand alone application ?]
Import the catalog file into Updates Publisher and create an update package.
