Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable automatic mass revision in a distributed data communication system. SOLUTION: Each destination device in devices includes at least one memory unit (ME, LSM2, LSM3). Revision involves the following: for instance, installing and/or changing selected data, (a) a list of selected destination devices is established; (b) a procedure for the revision of the data on the selected destination device is established and the procedures (L2; C2) are stored as a revision; (c) there is created a data package which at least contains the data to be revised and its revision recipe; (d) the data package is distributed internally in the data communication system to the selected destination devices; and (e) the selected destination devices interpret the information in the data package with the aid of a special interpretation program installed in each destination device and initiating procedures on the basis thereof.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an arrangement and a method for revising data in a distributed data communication system. SOLUTION: In the method for revising selected data, such as a data program or a document intended for a number of a plurality of destination devices (AEI, AEII, LSE2, LSE3) in the data communication system selected for users by an administrator, each destination device includes at least one memory unit (ME, LSM2, LSM3) for individual storage of data. In a system which involves, install, deletion and/or change of the selected data, is the revision executed revising collectively the selected data from the plurality of destination devices in the following steps: (a) the selected destination units is created; (b) a process to perform revision of the data is executed on the selected destination units by an administrator and the processes (L2; C2) are stored as a revision recipe; (c) a data package which contains at least the data to be revised and its revision recipe is created; (d) the data package is distributed internally in the data communication system to the selected destination devices; and (e) the selected destination devices interpret the information in the data package with the aid of a special interpretation program installed in each destination device and initiating procedures on the basis of this interpretation.
