Configuring the Update Server (distributor)

To configure the Update Server, use the Update Manager program that is installed with the Update Server.

To run it, you can either use a shortcut on the desktop or run the update_manager.exe file in the folder in which the Update Server was installed.

The description of the interface and main functions of the Update Manager is below.

The Primary server address

At the top of the window there is a field with the current IP address and port of the Update Server. The default is port 30900. To change the server address, enter a new address in the Update server ip address field and click the Refresh button:

Entry format: IP address and port separated by a colon.

The Updates tab

The Updates tab lists the available update files and their length:

To add a new update package, do the following:

1. Click +:
   
   
2. Select a package depending on the file type:

   1. Add file: a standard Windows File Explorer window will open in which you need to specify the path to the zipped update package.

   2. Add url: in the window that opens, enter the link to the file and click Add.
      
      

As a result, the selected packages will appear in the list.

To delete a package, select it in the list with a mouse click and click .

The Agents tab

The Agents tab displays a list of Agents that are connected to the server. On this tab, you can configure and run automatic updates for each Agent.

To do this, do the following:

1. From the Update archive drop-down list, select one of the available update packages (1).
   
   

2. In the Timeout (seconds) field, set the update timeout in seconds (2)—the time in which the installation process must be completed. If the installation isn’t completed within this time, it will be forced to stop. The default value is 600.

3. Set the checkboxes next to the Agents on which you want to install the selected update. To select all Agents, set the Select all checkbox (3).
4. If you want to run Intellect after an update, set the Run Intellect after update checkbox (4).
5. Click the Update button (5).

As a result, the installation of the specified update package will start on the selected Agents.

To open the context menu of the Agent, right-click an Agent line:

In the context menu:

• Restart and Update duplicate the action of the buttons above;
• Start/Restart product functions like this: if Intellect isn’t running on the Agent, it will start. If Intellect is running, it will restart;
• Remove agent removes the Agent from the list.

The Activity tab

The Activity tab displays the Agents on which the update is in progress or completed, as well as the Agents on which the update is scheduled:

The Journal tab

The Journal tab displays a list of all actions on the Update Server. At the top, there is a selection of dates and statuses that can be used to filter the Journal.
