Controlling the network-sync function

When you create your base map, the New Map Wizard prompts you to define
whether or not to enable the network-sync function. You can change the
network-sync setting anytime during the map development process. To change the
setting, do the following:
1.

Open the Base Map window.

2.

Click the root entry of the tree structure.

3.

In the Main window menu bar, click Tools, and then click Settings.... The Map
Settings window opens.

4.

Click the Network tab.

5.

Use the Use Network Sync check box to define the setting.

6.

Click OK.

7.

Click the Save icon located in the Main window toolbar.

For more information about the network-sync setting, see “Enabling the
network-sync function” on page 25.

Resolve optimal repository

This enables the ImageUltra deploy and net-sync process to select the ideal
repository for deployment based on a predefined list of repositories as defined by
an IT administrator. The list of repositories is a text-based .INI file that is located in
the repository folder. The repository list is keyed by repository description strings,
with each key section having corresponding repository information for other
repositories.

If a repository list is found, a look-up is performed by searching for the closest
repository in the repository list (based on ping response times). If a closer
repository is found, the corresponding repository settings will be used for
deploying the image. However, if no match is found, or if a repository list is not
found, the image is deployed from the current repository.

For an example of a commented Reposlst.ini file refer to the following:

Note:

To add a repository to the list, add a new section. Under this section, copy
the settings from the PROFILE.INI file from the bootable Network Deploy
CD that is created by the ImageUltra Builder Graphical User Interface (GUI).
