Example: Service section of setup.ini

The fields in this section of the setup.ini file contain the information used by the Check Service Level program

The second section of the setup file (Service) provides the Check Service Level program with the information it requires to determine if a new fix level of the plug-in should be applied to the client workstation:

[Service]
FixLevel=0
AdditionalSize=0

Below is a listing of the meaning of each field:

Field in [Service] section of Setup.ini Description of field
FixLevel A numeric value that indicates the service level of the plug-in. The Check Service Level program uses this value to determine whether the plug-in requires servicing. This value must be incremented by some amount with each service release for a particular Version.

The FixLevel value is compared to the current FixLevel value of the installed plug-in on the customer's computer. When this FixLevel value is greater than that of the plug-in that is installed on the client workstation, the Check Service Level program will Service the plug-in to the new FixLevel. The value must be reset to zero when a plug-in is upgraded to a new Version or release level.

AdditionalSize The amount of DASD space that is required to store any new or additional executable files that will be added to the plug-in during servicing. Install uses this value to determine if the workstation has adequate disk space for the plug-in.
