Appendix B. UNDERSTANDING THE DATABASE.ZIP ARCHIEVE
The database.zip archive holds all database information.
.
Within the database.zip archive is a file called FM_Brands.xml.
XML Contents Explanation:
Brand - Contains the brand name that will get displayed on the screen.
Database_Name – Contains the name of your physical database without the
extension.
SortWeight - Indicates the order the brand name appears in a list of multiple
brands, highest first.
Active - Indicates if this database is available for use.
CustomFormulas - Indicates if the brand allows custom formula saving. See
special installation section for custom formula databases above.
This file can contain one or more FM_Brand elements depending on how many
databases you want to add or remove. In order for the install to work, you must
name your Database_Name value exactly the same as you named the database
mdf file without the extension. So for example, if we wanted to load a database
file called myDataBase and another database called myOtherDataBase we
would structure the zip file as such:
Database.zip
FM_Brands.xml
myDataBase.mdf
myDatabase_log.ldf
myOtherDataBase.mdf
myOtherDataBase_log.ldf
Custom.mdf – standard software parts always contain a custom database
Custom_Log.ldf
and have the FM_Brands.xml file contain the following data:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<FM_BRANDS>
<FM_BRAND>
<Brand> Custom </Brand>
<Database_Name>Custom</Database_Name>
<SortWeight>1</SortWeight>
<Active>True</Active>
<CustomFormulas>True</CustomFormulas>
</FM_BRAND>
<FM_BRAND>
