• the "Guest" connection mode of the Control Centers is not available anymore.
• the mobile mode is not available for the Control Centers.
• all the contributors of Control Centers are defined as users of the HFSQL Client/Server database.
• if your WINDEV applications is using the "Feedback" component: to manage the user feedback, the applications must be modified. This modification is required if you are using the connected mode or ADSL (modification not required if the user feedback is performed by emails). See Using Feedback in ADSL for more details.

The different steps are as follows

1. Install an HFSQL Client/Server server if necessary.
2. Transfer the HFSQL Classic database of Control Centers into a new HFSQL Client/Server database. This step is optional. The import is required only if you are already using a database for the Control Centers.
   If no data is transferred, the HFSQL Client/Server database for the Control Centers will be created empty.
3. Configure the Control Centers to use the HFSQL Client/Server database.
4. Use the Control Centers.

Step 1: Install an HFSQL Client/Server server if necessary

Step 2: Transfering (if necessary) the HFSQL Classic database (optional)

1. On the "Home" pane, in the "Environment" group, expand "Options" and select "General options of WINDEV/WEBDEV/WINDEV Mobile".
2. In the "User" tab, click the "Parameters of Control Centers" button.
3. In the window that is displayed, click the "Import wizard" button.
4. The wizard for importing data starts.
   
5. In this wizard, specify:
   • the directory containing the HFSQL Classic data files. The current path is proposed by default. This path can be modified if necessary.
   • the characteristics of the HFSQL Client/Serveur server to use:
     • the name or IP address of the server.
     • the name of the HFSQL Client/Server database to use. This database must be empty (without files) or not found (in this case, it will be automatically created).
     • the port that will be used for the connection.
   • the login and password of an administrator of the HFSQL Client/Server database. Indeed, the data can only be imported by an administrator (who has the rights to create files, ...).
     Remark: By default, the administrator of an HFSQL server can use "admin" as login, and no password.
   • "Add the contributors of Control Centers to the list of users of the HyperFileSQL server" allows you to automatically identify all the contributors via their login and password in the HFSQL Client/Server database.
     If this option is not checked, a new account will have to be created for each contributor when using the Control Centers with the HFSQL Client/Server database.
     If this option is checked, two groups of users are created on the HFSQL server: "Contributors of Control Centers" and "Administrators of Control Centers". These two groups automatically have the necessary rights to use the database of Control Centers in HFSQL Client/Server mode.
6. Validate.

Step 3: Configuring the different products for using the Control Centers in Client/Server mode

• when installing WINDEV, WEBDEV or WINDEV Mobile.
• in the options of WINDEV, WEBDEV or WINDEV Mobile:
  • On the "Home" pane, in the "Environment" group, expand "Options" and select "General options of WINDEV/WEBDEV/WINDEV Mobile".
  • In the "User" tab, click the "Parameters of Control Centers" button.
• in the parameters of the Project Monitoring Center: expand and select "Options".

• the database in HFSQL Client/Server mode.
• the name or IP address of the server.
• the port used.
• the database used.

Step 3: Tip

Specific features of Client/Server

• The "Guest" mode is not available.
• The mobile mode is not available for the Control Centers.

Managing contributors

• "Contributors of Control Centers".
• "Administrators of Control Centers".

• the contributors with administrator rights are automatically associated with the "Administrators of Control Centers" group,
• the other contributors are automatically associated with the "Contributors of Control Centers" group.

• Re-enter the name/password: if an error occurred during the identification.
• Create the account: for a new user or if the existing contributors were not imported. In this case, the new contributors with administrator rights are automatically associated with the "Administrators of Control Centers" group and the other new contributors are automatically associated with the "Contributors of Control Centers" group.
• Work in restricted mode: allows you to work with a local database (network problem, problem with the HFSQL server, ...). Caution: the information entered in this mode will not be applied to the database of Control Centers.
