AirBEAM
Misc(2) Tab
This screen is used to configure various miscellaneous features.
Field Description
Auto-retry This field is used to specify whether the AirBEAM client will automatically retry if
there is a failure during the synchronization process.
If this feature is enabled, the AirBEAM Client will display a popup dialog indicating
that a retry will be attempted. The popup dialog is displayed for the number of
seconds specified in the Retry delay field.
The valid values for this field are:
-1: the AirBEAM client will automatically retry indefinitely.
0: the AirBEAM client will not automatically retry.
>0: the AirBEAM client will automatically retry up to the number of times
specified.
Retry Delay This field specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that the AirBEAM client will
delay before automatically retrying after a synchronization failure.
In-use Test This checkbox specifies whether the AirBEAM client will test to determine if a file
is in-use before downloading. If the In-use Test feature is enabled the AirBEAM
client will download a temporary copy of any files that are in-use. If any temporary
in-use files are downloaded the AirBEAM client will automatically reset the client
to complete the copy of the in-use files. If the In-use Test feature is disabled the
synchronization process will fail (-813) if any download files are in-use.
Wait Welcome This checkbox specifies whether the AirBEAM client will wait for the WELCOME
screens to be completed before automatically launching the synchronization
process after a reset.
Close Apps This checkbox specifies whether the AirBEAM client automatically attempts to
close non-system application prior to resetting the mobile unit. If enabled the
AirBEAM client will send a WM_CLOSE message to all non-system applications
before resetting the mobile unit. This feature offers applications the opportunity to
prepare (i.e. close open files) for the pending reset.
