Configuring the database update schedule and settings
To configure the database update schedule and settings:
In the main window of the program web interface, open the management console tree and select the Settings section and Database Update subsection.
In the Program Database Update Settings section, click the Schedule or Update source link to open the Program database update settings window.
In the Schedule settings group, select one of the following options in the drop-down list:
Manually.
Once
Weekly
Monthly
Run every
In the Schedule settings group, specify the frequency of database updates in the fields on the right of the drop-down list. The following values can be specified depending on the schedule selected:
If the database update start mode is set to Once, specify the date and time at which the database update is to start in the corresponding fields.
If the database update start mode is set to Weekly, specify the day of the week and the time at which the database update is to start in the corresponding fields.
For example, if the values are set to Monday and 3:00 PM, the database update runs every Monday at 15:00.
If the database update start mode is set to Monthly, in the corresponding fields specify the day of the month and the time at which the database update is to start.
For example, if the values are set to 20 and 3:00 PM, the database update runs on the 20th day of the month at 15:00.
For the Run every database update start mode, specify the update frequency in minutes, hours, or days in the corresponding fields:
To specify the frequency of updates in minutes, select the min value in the list in the right part of the window, specify the frequency in minutes, and in the Starting at field specify the time of the first database update.
For example, if the frequency value is set to 30, the min. frequency option has been selected, and the value of the Starting at field is set to 15:00, the database update starts every 30 minutes beginning at 3 p.m.
To specify the frequency of updates in hours, select the hours value in the list in the right part of the window, specify the frequency in hours, and in the Starting at field specify the date and time of the first database update.
For example, if the frequency value is set to 3, the hr(s) frequency option has been selected, and the values of the Starting at field are 25.05.2018 and 15:00, the database update starts every 3 hours beginning at 3 p.m. on May 25, 2018.
To specify the frequency of updates in days, select the days value in the list in the right part of the window, specify the frequency in days, and in the Starting at field specify the time of the first database update.
For example, if the frequency value is set to 2, the days frequency option has been selected, and the value of the Starting at field is set to 15:00, the database update starts once every two days (every other day) at 3 p.m.
In the Update settings section, in the Randomization interval field specify the deviation from the scheduled time (in minutes) after which the database update is to run on computers so that these computers do not attempt to access the update source simultaneously when the database update starts. This feature is provided to solve the problem of simultaneous access to the update source by a large number of computers when the database update starts.
In the Update settings section, in the Maximum duration field specify the maximum duration of the update process in minutes, after which the database update must be stopped.
In the Update settings section, in the Run skipped tasks list select the procedure for starting the task if the update was not performed at the scheduled time for one of the following reasons:
The computer was turned off.
The program was not running.
If the option to run missed tasks is enabled, an attempt is made to start the database update task the next time the program starts on the computer. In the Manually and Once update start mode, the database update task starts as soon as the computer goes online on the local area network.
If the option to run missed tasks is disabled, the database update tasks are started on computers according to schedule only, and Manually and Once database updates are started only on computers connected to the local area network.
