How to change the Devices Database?

Question

The devices database for the OutSystems Hub Edition is contained in the "devicedb.patch" file, in your OutSystems Hub Server installation directory (tipically "c:\program files\OutSystems\Hub Server\").

In order to perform changes to the database you must edit this file with a text editor. You can then update the elements that allow you to identify the wanted device and include the properties for the new device to work properly. After you are done, you must run the "updatedevicedb.exe" command from the OutSystems Hub Server installation directory. This will update the "machine.config" file with your new "BrowserCaps" settings.

The format of the device follows the same rules as the "BrowserCaps" section in the "machine.config" file. This format is based in XML and regular expressions, and it is not a very easy format to work with. Please check the documentation from Microsoft on how to edit these configurations.
