Standalone Client

 Top  Previous  Next

On Windows, the installation steps are:

 

•Run the uf101c_setup.exe installer program.
•Run the Configure UnForm Client option from the Start menu, which starts Notepad with the uf101c.ini file.  Enter the appropriate values for the server and port, and optionally the log file.

 

On Windows, the uf101c.ini file is stored in the %PROGRAMDATA%\SDSI folder.  Typically, this would be C:\ProgramData\SDSI\uf101c.ini.  This file can be edited directly.

 

The client is composed of several files, one of which is uf101c.exe.  This program is installed both in the installation path and the system Windows path (typically C:\Windows) to enable execution without a full path.  The uf101c.exe program will look for the install path setting in the uf101c.ini file, in order to locate the addition files.

 

Note that uf101c.exe is a small .NET program that operates the uf101cc.exe console client behind the scenes. You can also run the console client directly from a Windows command line.  The client is located in the install path as uf101cc\uf101cc.exe.

 

Unbundled Perl Client

Included with the Windows client install is the standard uf101c.pl script included with UnForm on Linux.  This script can be run on Windows if you install a Perl interpreter, such as ActiveState community edition, or Strawberry Perl.  The uf101c.exe program will automatically look for one of these in standard install paths, or you can update the uf101c.ini file to include the perl=path\to\perl.exe.  You can also run a perl command line from console mode:

 

path_to_perl.exe path_to_uf101c.pl followed by standard client command line arguments.
