Application Deployment 7 - 9
The Script1 window directory pane displays two partitions: Platform and Application. Depending on the type of flash
chip, the number of partitions may change. Files can be added to each of the partitions. TCM functionality includes:
•
Opening a new or existing script file
•
Copying components to the script window
•
Saving the script file.
Opening a New or Existing Script
A script file can be created from scratch or based on an existing script file. Click Create to create a new script or
click Open to open an existing script (for example, a script provided in the DCP for MC40x0c). If an existing script
is opened and changes are made, saving the changes overwrites the original script. To use an original or Zebra
supplied standard script as a base and save the changes in a new script, use the Save As function to save the
script using a different file name.
Updating TCM 1.X Scripts
Script files that were created with older versions of TCM can be upgraded to TCM 2.0 scripts. Click Open to open
an existing script created with an older version of TCM. The Conversion window appears automatically.

Copying Components to the Script
Script contents are managed using standard file operations such as New Folder, Delete and Rename. Items can be
added to the script by clicking files and folders in the
File Explorer window and dragging them to the Script window.
The
File Explorer window supports standard windows; multiple files may be selected by clicking while holding the
SHIFT or CTRL keys.
Saving the Script
Modifications to a script file can be saved using the Save or the Save As function. Saving changes to an existing
script writes over the original script. To use a Zebra-supplied standard script as a base and save the changes in a
new script, use the
Save As function.
Building the Image
Once the script is created, the hex image defined by the script can be built.
As part of the build, TCM performs a check on the script which verifies that all files referenced in the script exist.
This check is important for previously created scripts to ensure that files referenced in the script are still in the
designated locations.
To build scripts:
1. Click Build on the TCM toolbar. The Configure Build window appears.
