+# Session Log: 2026-03-16
+
+## Summary
+Investigated and fixed test station software update issue reported by Kevin at Dataforth. Station TS-8R was not getting 7BMAIN4.EXE updated after running UPDATE and rebooting.
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+1. `T:\UPDATE.BAT` is a DEPLOY wrapper (initial station setup), not a software updater
+2. NWTOC.BAT (Network-to-Computer) runs on boot to pull updates, but had two issues:
+   - **Missing EXE copy**: NWTOC copied `*DATA` subfolder contents but never copied EXEs from `T:\Ate\ProdSW\` to `C:\ATE\` where they actually live on DOS machines
+   - **No overwrite flag**: COPY commands lacked `/Y`, so existing files would prompt (hang on unattended boot)
+3. Development had staged 7BMAIN4.EXE correctly at `Ate\ProdSW\` on AD2, but NWTOC never pulled it
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### NWTOC.BAT v4.0 -> v5.0
+- Added `COPY /Y T:\Ate\ProdSW\*.EXE C:\ATE` (new step 2/3) to pull test executables
+- Added `/Y` flag to ALL COPY commands for silent overwrite
+- Removed all `*DATA` subfolder copy operations (5BDATA, 7BDATA, 8BDATA, DSCDATA, HVDATA, PWRDATA, RMSDATA, SCTDATA) -- these contain test parameter DAT files that are generated locally on stations and uploaded via CTONW; copying them back down would create cyclic overwrites
+- Removed MD commands for DATA subdirectories (no longer needed)
+- Renumbered steps from 4 to 3
+
+### Deployment
+- Deployed NWTOC.BAT v5.0 to AD2 `C:\Shares\test\COMMON\ProdSW\`
+- Verified CR-LF line endings (DOS compatible)
+- AD2-to-NAS sync will propagate within 15 minutes
+
+## Infrastructure Checks
+
+### AD2 Ate\ProdSW\ Contents
+- 7BMAIN4.EXE: 283,456 bytes, dated 03/09/2026 (staged by development)
+- 7BDATA subfolder: only DAT files (7BMAIN.DAT, TE1039DT.DAT)
+- All 8 DATA subfolders contain only .DAT files (test parameters, sort tables)
+
+### NAS Test Data Transfers (today)
+- 6 stations transferred 73 files (all 7BLOG .SHT format):
+  - TS-27 (28), TS-11R (15), TS-3L (11), TS-11L (9), TS-10L (5), TS-10R (5)
+- No TS-8R activity (consistent with Kevin's issue)
+
+### TestDataDB (SQLite on AD2)
+- Location: C:\Shares\testdatadb\database\testdata.db (~2.8 GB, ~6.1M records)
+- Import ran today at 18:23, ingested 515 records (Mar 10-13 test dates)
+- No test data from Mar 14-16 (weekend, expected)
+- Backup task running daily at 2:00 AM (successful)
+- NAS sync last ran at 18:45
+
+## Pending Actions
+- Kevin to run DEPLOY on TS-8R tomorrow morning (deploys new NWTOC v5.0)
+- After deploy + reboot, NWTOC should pull 7BMAIN4.EXE to C:\ATE
+- `T:\UPDATE.BAT` (NAS root DEPLOY wrapper) flagged for deletion (not yet removed)
+
+## Files Changed
+- `projects/dataforth-dos/batch-files/NWTOC.BAT` - v4.0 -> v5.0
