Include Custom Files in a Web Deployment

If a Citect SCADA project relies on externally-created files that you need to incorporate into a web deployment (such as DBF files, HTML files, or ActiveX objects), you will need to identify these files.

1. Determine the name and location of any custom files that you want to include in the project.

Note: The following files cannot be included as custom files as they are used by the compiler when preparing the zip files:
• Changes.dbf
• Custfiles.dbf
• Errlog.dbf
• Custfiles.zip
• Custactivex.zip
• _library.rdb
• _project.rdb


2. In the Setup activity, select Custom Files.
3. Add each custom file to a row in the Grid Editor. If you are adding an ActiveX object, make sure the Is ActiveX field is set to TRUE.
4. Click Save.

When a project is compiled, any files you have identified in this way will be compressed into one of the following zip files:

• custActiveX.zip - includes the associated ActiveX files
• custFiles.zip - includes other associated files.

These zip files are then added to the project's deployment directory, ready for delivery via a web server.

Note: If an ActiveX object has an associated data source, verify that the data source can be located by the computer hosting the client.
