The Automatic Update Service is used to configure the automatic update of Axxon PSIM and vertical solutions in a distributed network. The service is installed in addition to the main product and works independently of it.

Service components

There is is the update server (installation type is Server (Administrator's workplace)) that distributes the version for the update, and the client (installation type is Client (Workstations))that are dependent servers that receive the version from the Update Server update server and install it. In addition, the the Update Serviceprogram is installed to manage the updates together with the Server (Administrator's workplace)update server. Thus, you need to select the distributor server and install the Update Server (Administrator's workplace) on it, and install the Client on (Workstations) on the servers that need to be automatically updated. For details, see see Installing the Update Service.

After installation, you need to configure the Update Server update server and the Clientsclients—see Configuring the Update Server update server (distributor) in the Update Service and Configuring the Client (receiver).

Once configured, it works as follows:

• The Clients clients connect to the Update Serverupdate server.

• The Update Server update server contains a list of available updates.

• The automatic update parameters for the Clients clients are configured on the Update Server update server using the the Update Service program.

• At some point in time (depending on the settings in the Update Service), the Client client receives an update task in the form of an installation package. This package updates Axxon PSIM on the Clientclient. For more details, see Configuring the Client (receiver).
