Preparing a project's user files for delivery

If the content of your CitectSCADA project incorporates user-created files, such as DBF files, HTML files, or CSV files, you need to manually place these into a special zip file called Misc.zip for delivery to the Web Server. Similarly, if a project contains ActiveX objects, these also needs to be included in a zip file called ActiveX.zip.

1. Identify the user-created files that are associated with the project you want to deploy.

2. These files could include CSV or DBF files associated with tables presented on project pages, or HTML content.

2. Use a compression tool to zip these files up into a single file called Misc.zip.
3. Place Misc.zip in the main folder for the project. For example, in the case of the Example project, this would be:

4. [User]\Example

   Note: If your project has included projects that use ActiveX objects, verify that these are also zipped up in an Activex.zip file in the included project's directory.

The files are now ready for deployment on the Web Server.

1. Identify the ActiveX objects associated with the project you want to deploy.
2. Use a compression tool to zip these files up into a single file called ActiveX.zip.
3. Place ActiveX.zip in the main folder for the project. For example, in the case of the CSV_Include project, this would be:

4. [User]\CSV_Include

   Note: If an ActiveX object has an associated data source, verify that the data source can be located by the computer hosting the Web Client. See the topic Managing associated data sources under the section on ActiveX objects in the CitectSCADA User Guide Help.
