Introduction

Meridix CopyUtil is a tool used to copy files. A use is when we use the CDR data collected by Aastra TMG (formerly Netwise). Meridix CopyUtil copy files from the Aastra TMG collection folder folders to Meridix ftp FTP server in such a way that it is an exact copy recharged at each charging sessiona copy of any changes in the source file uploaded each run. The tool is designed so that the data that is uploaded can not be duplicated. Meridix CopyUtil runs as a windows service. Installation , installation of the service is done by using the command prompt as an administrator > type by typing "Meridix.CopyUtil.exe install". Uninstalling the service is just as easy just type  "Meridix.CopyUtil.exe uninstall". Start and stop the service in the same way by following the service name by the "verb"  start or stop
