Overview of Electronic Update Setup
FlexNet Code Insight 2019 R2
The following describes the basics for configuring electronic updates:
Specifying to Run an Update as Server or Local
The Electronic Update Type field (see Field Descriptions below) on the Electronics Update tab enables you to configure the Electronic Update to run as either a server or local update. The difference between the two methods is the means by which the FlexNet Code Insight server obtains the files required to run the update:
|
•
|
During a server Electronic Update, the most recent Electronic Update files are automatically downloaded from Flexera to the FlexNet Code Insight server prior to processing the update. |
|
•
|
For a local Electronic Update, you must manually download the Electronic Update files from Flexera to a location that is locally accessible to the Code Insight server, such as a shared drive or a local USB drive. Then, when an update is triggered, the Code Insight server automatically uploads the files and proceeds with the update. This type of Electronic Update is useful when the Code Insight server has no external Internet access or when a specific Electronic Update version is needed for testing or demo purposes. |
Scheduling Electronic Updates
The remaining fields (see Field Descriptions below) on the Electronic Updates tab allow you either to schedule an Electronic Update to run automatically at regular intervals or to run an update manually. By default, an update is incremental (that is, the update applies on changes from the previous update). However, you have the option force a full Electronic Update, which replaces all data from the previous update. (A full update might be necessary, for example, if the most recent update did not complete properly.)
In summary, you can schedule the following:
|
•
|
An automated incremental Electronic Update (server type only) that runs at a regular frequency that you define. |
|
•
|
A manual incremental Electronic Update (server or local type). |
|
•
|
A manual full Electronic Update (server or local type). Use this option with caution as forcing a full update to run will take several hours to complete, similar to the initial update when FlexNet Code Insight was first installed. |
Note • Codebase scans cannot be performed during the Electronic Update process, but a scan that is already underway will not be interrupted when an update is scheduled to begin. The Electronic Update will be queued and automatically run based on queue order.
