Editing web.config

To ensure that the Mobile Tech Access can contact your database server, you will need to edit the web.config file.

Open the web.config file (located in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MobileTech directory) in Notepad.

Note!

Note:
To open the file in notepad, right-click the web.config file and select Open With.... An Open With dialog box appears. Select Notepad from the file list and click OK. Alternatively, to open Notepad itself, select Start > Programs > Accessories > Notepad.

Change "localhost" in the <add key="CoreDBServer" value="localhost" /> line to reflect the name OR IP address of your server that hosts the ServiceCEO database.
For example: <add key="CoreDBServer" value="FILESERVER\ServiceCEO" />
Verify that the <add key="CoreDBName" value="ServiceCEO" /> line appears exactly as displayed.
If you are using a device that uses a WAP browser to access the Internet, you will not be able to enter decimal points correctly due to a WAP limitation with ServiceCEO. Thus, you need to make the following changes in the web.config file:
- Change the value of both the UseDecimalForQuantity and UseDecimalForCurrency fields from "true" to "false".
- Enter the amount of spaces you want the device to read as the decimal value in the value section of the UseQuantity line. For example, if you use value="2", the browser will read "98234523" as "982345.23". If you use value="4", the browser will read "98234523" as "9823.4523"
Save your changes.
