Most Worldox users never have to use any Worldox files except for the main application program. If you do - or are curious about Worldox resources - here are some of the main players:
Worldox GX4 consists of three principal program components:
Application |
File Name |
Description |
Worldox |
WBGX.exe |
This is the main application used to manage documents. Note: In versions before the GX2 Productivity Suite, this file was called wda.exe. |
Worldox |
WDMIRROR.exe |
This is the name of the executable file used to run Worldox in mirrored mode on your desktop. There are two types of mirroring in Worldox: program Mirroring and document mirroring. |
Worldox Administration Program (WDADMIN) |
WDADMIN.exe |
Worldox Administrators use WDADMIN to set up, configure, and maintain Worldox. |
Worldox Indexer |
WDINDEX.exe or WBINDEX.exe |
The Indexer creates and maintains the central Worldox database, or index. This program runs continually in server mode on the Worldox Indexer workstation, updating the database as users work with documents. Note: In GX2, this file was called WAINDEX.exe. |
EXE names can change version to version. However, using standard best practice shortcuts avoids any problems as they use launchers that do not change. Thus to run the main Worldox application program, run WDMIRROR.exe
Example: C:\worldox\wdmirror.exe
Your Worldox Administrator will no doubt arrange the necessary shortcuts and links to start any Worldox application files you need.
