How MCU updates clients
The server will unpack the files into the default update loca-
tion so that clients can find the update as expected. The
default location is http://{mobile_server_address}:81/
mobile_client_updates. To verify that your update files
have been posted, go to the file latest-manifest.mcxml in
this directory. Clients read this file to determine if applicable
updates are available.
When the MCU reads available update information, it gives
priority to new versions of the software. If a new version of
the Mobile Client is available, it is downloaded and installed.
Since the updated package contains an embedded copy of
the latest configuration, this is adequate to ensure both the
software and the configuration are updated. However, if the
MCU finds no new software available, it checks to see if a
new configuration is available. If the latter is available, that
is downloaded and applied. Such updates are much smaller
in size than updating an entire new version of the Mobile
Client.
