Publish and data transfer

Support - Classic

Hello Justin,

is following possible and if yes, what are the settings?

  1. Use “publish” function to upload the app and install the app on the devices via QR-Code from MS publish server (https://ctclassic-eu.azurewebsites.net). … and …
  2. Send collected data from device(s) to another (own) webpage, not to the MS publish server.

Cheers Holger

Hi Holger,

If you would like to create your own server, I can join you to the GitHub repository. You will need to have an Azure account, etc.

Tnx for fast answer. I think this will not solve the problem. The data were send to a special developed webpage, where the data are processed and shown to the people. This is given and fixed.

In moment I use “web install” for installation of the app to the devices. But I remember that you’ve said that you will cancel this function later (or I’m wrong?).

That’s why I would like to combine Publish and separate data upload if possible.

Hi Holger,

As I recall if you Publish the app, but your transfer settings are already set, then they will be retained.

ok, I will try that. Tnx.

I guess it is working. 1st: Do the settings in “Database Properties → Transfer” to my own website and 2nd: Publish for install.
Thanks again

Justin, what the “Reset” Button on “Publish Application” window is doing?

Hi Holger,

If you duplicated your database and made some changes, then publishing would overwrite your original app. This lets you start fresh with a new app.

Next question to “Publish” and “Webinstall”: Because of security reasons the user wants to place the Project on his own server. For this purpose we have used “Webinstall” functionality well. If the URL is transforming into QR-Code, would the “QR Code - Installation” in CyberTracker App on device also work for?

Tnx
Holger

Hi Holger,

I would need to check if we can make web install work with a QR code, but then you would need to create that yourself.

There is another group interested in standing up their own server, so if you want to go this route, let me know. Basically you would need an Azure account and a bit of knowledge around how to set it up.

Cheers,

Thanks Justin, I will ask the project people …

Hi Justin,
I use the publish function to allow me to retrieve data from multiple devices. Last year it worked well but this year it is no longer the case: following an update of the application (I also renamed it), sending data works but not downloading data (Download Data From Web): The following message appears “nothing to download”. Do you have any idea of the problem? is it possible to recover the data?
Thanks
Joseph

Hi Justin,
Today I was able to download the data correctly, I don’t know why it didn’t work yesterday, maybe server unavailability. It’s OK now. Is there sometimes a delay before I can download the data?
Thanks,
Joseph

I am not aware of any reason for a delay, other than a bad internet connection…
