Remark file distriubtion

The remark file is the communication channel used by IBI-aws to exchange data. This communication method is very transparent and simple because it is file based. The file is created using the IBI-aws Admin by clicking on Publish. It contains all information required by the IBI-aws Client for displaying messages.

The remark file must be stored at a central location so that all PCs running the IBI-aws Client can access it.

An easy option is to put the file in a folder that is accessible via a network file share. The IBI-aws Client requires only read permission. This file can also be made available via a web server using the HTTP or HTTPS protocols.

Section start parameter describes how a remark file is specified using start parameters.

Using an additional remark file 

The IBI-aws Client is capable of processing two data sources in parallel.

For example, it allows an IT department working globally within a company to generate messages independently of a local IT department. All settings (such as Insertion duration) are also managed independently.

An additional remark file must satisfy the same requirements that apply to the main remark file. For example, it also must be stored at a central location so that all PCs that run the IBI-aws Client can access it.

An additional remarks file is specified with the start parameter /AdditionalRemarks. For further information see section AdditionalRemarks.
