Meridix CopyUtil

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 folders to Meridix FTP server in such a way that it is a 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 of the service is done by using the command prompt as an administrator 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
