Scheduling database updates

To configure the database update schedule:

  1. Select the Settings tab in the main window of the application's web interface.
  2. Select the Update settings subtab by clicking the Database update link.
  3. Open the Application database update settings window by clicking the Schedule link.
  4. In the drop-down list in the Schedule settings group, select the database update mode:
    • Manually. A database update can be started manually by clicking the Start update link on the Update settings tab.
    • Once.
    • Weekly.
    • Every month.
    • Run every.
  5. Specify the frequency of database updates in the group of fields corresponding to the selected mode. In accordance with the selected mode, you can specify the following values:
    • If the database update start mode is set to Once, specify the day 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 15:00:00, 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 date of the month and the time at which the database update is to start.

      For example, if the values are set to 20 and 15:00:00, the database update runs on the 20th day of the month at 15:00.

    • For the Run every update start mode, specify the frequency of the update start in minutes, hours, or days in the corresponding fields:
      • Specify the frequency in minutes, and in the Start on field, specify the date of the first database update.

        For example, if the value is set to 30, and the Start on field contains the value 25.05.2015, the database update runs every 30 minutes starting May 25, 2015.

      • Specify the hours in minutes, and in the Start on field, specify the date and time of the first database update.

        For example, if the value is set to 2, and the Start on field contains the values 25.05.2015 and 15:00:00, the database update runs every two hours starting May 25, 2015 at 15:00.

      • Specify the frequency in days, and in the Start on field, specify the time at which the database update is to run on the specified days.

        For example, if the value is set to 2, and the Start on field contains the value 15:00:00, the database update runs once every two days (every other day) at 15:00.

  6. If required, in the Application database update settings section, specify the following additional database update settings:
    • Randomization interval. 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.
    • Maximum duration. If you want to specify the maximum duration of the database update, specify the time (in minutes) after which the database update is to stop.
    • Run missed tasks. You can define a procedure for the task startup if the computer is unavailable (turned off or disconnected from the network) or if the application is not running at the time specified by the schedule. 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. If the start mode is set to Manually and Once, the database update task starts as soon as the computer goes online. If the option to run skipped tasks is disabled, the database update tasks are started on computers according to schedule only, and in case of Manually and Once start modes – only on computers that are visible on the network.
  7. Click OK.
