Notes
- The 'Beta' option should be checked by default. This is the correct setting for most customers. Do not change this option unless instructed to do so.
- The 'Process Local File (Skip FTP) option can be used if a server is unable to connect to the ABIS FTP server for any number of reasons, or if the customer server is too slow to process the FTP transfer without timing out. In order to use this option, the current version install package files must be manually transferred to the customer's server, and placed in the Adjutant folder.
- The 'Passive FTP' option can be used if there is a security issue with the customer server attempting to transfer from the ABIS FTP. The 'Passive FTP' option uses a different method to access the ABIS FTP which usually bypasses the port blocking policies in use on the customer server.
