DATAflor Update manager (up to version 2018)
Description
With the help of the update manager you can keep your DATAflor Products always up to date.
1. Check the availability of new updates:
- After the user logs on to Windows, the update manager checks whether the installed versions of your DATAflor Products have new service packs or patches.
- On the server, the BUSINESS-Installation, a task is also created in the Windows task scheduler, which controls that the update manager searches for patches once a day at a defined time.
- And you can set a time for the automated search for service packs on the server in the update manager.
2. Download and install updates:
- Patches are downloaded directly and at the next BUSINESS-Start imported automatically.
- To install server patches (e.g. database updates), the BUSINESS-Installation on the server in the Windows task scheduler created a task that controls when the patches are automatically installed.
- The Update Manager offers service packs for download and installation.
- In network installations, first run the service pack installation file on the server. After a successful server update, the workstations are updated automatically the next time the program is started BUSINESS.
- If download scheduling is activated for network installations on the server, available service packs are automatically downloaded at the defined time.
