General update procedure on the Agent

Attention!

The update parameters (time, Intellect start, etc.) depend on the selected settings in the Update Manager (see Configuring the Update Server (distributor) in the Update Manager).

  1. The Agent receives the update task from the Update Manager.
  2. The Agent requests from the Server the installation package with the required version in zip format, downloads it and unzips it.
  3. Then the update runs in the quiet mode:
    1. if Intellect is running at this time, the Agent will stop it;
    2. the Agent will run the update;
    3. after a successful update, if it was specified during configuration that Intellect must be restarted, the Agent will restart it. It is also possible to restart the computer if it was configured.
  4. After the update, the Agent deletes the installation package.

Special cases:

  1. If an update fails (e.g., installation error, update cancellation, computer shutdown), the update will be considered completed, and the Agent will delete the installation package. A new run in the Update Manager will be required to update again.
  2. If the Agent receives an installation package with an older version, it will try to install that version, but ultimately the current version will remain unchanged.
