Enabling HLLAPI auto-launch
BlueZone HLLAPI has an optional feature that can be configured to automatically launch a BlueZone session when the HLLAPI DLL is accessed by a third-party HLLAPI application.
Refer to HLLAPI configuration for information on how to configure BlueZone's HLLAPI interface.
HLLAPI applications require that a BlueZone session be active in order for the HLLAPI application to have connectivity to the host. It is often desirable for the BlueZone host session to be automatically launched at the same time as the HLLAPI application. This eliminates the end user from having to perform two separate steps: launching the BlueZone session and launching the HLLAPI application second.
Once this feature is configured, you can train your end users to launch the HLLAPI application. They do not have to know anything about launching a BlueZone session.
When your HLLAPI application calls the BlueZone HLLAPI DLL, the connection between the HLLAPI application and BlueZone fails because the BlueZone session is not running. However, when the connection fails, the BlueZone HLLAPI DLL is programmed to look for the GLOBAL.INI file. If the GLOBAL.INI file is configured, the BlueZone session named in the GLOBAL.INI file is automatically launched.
1. Open the GLOBAL.INI file with a text editor.
2. Locate the [HLLAPI] section:
[HLLAPI]
;SessionA=
3. Delete the semi-colon and type the profile name that you want to automatically launch. For example:
SessionA=profilename.zmd
4. Save and close the file.
