Configuring database updates

To configure database update settings:

  1. In the main window of the application web interface, open the management console tree and select the Settings section and Database update subsection.
  2. In the Application database update settings section, click the Schedule link to open the Application database update settings window.
  3. In the Application database 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.
  4. In the Application database 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.
  5. In the Application database update settings section, in the Run skipped tasks list select the procedure for starting the task of the update was not performed at the scheduled time for one of the following reasons:
    • The computer was unavailable (turned off or disconnected from the Internet);
    • The application 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 application 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.

  6. Click OK.
