Electronic Update Notification
Whenever an Electronic Update is currently running, a notification message is displayed in the heading of the Code Insight user interface, indicating that an update is in progress.
Users can track the progress of each phase of the Electronic Update by clicking the “here” link within the notification message, as described in Monitoring the Progress of Electronic Update Phases. Additionally, users can monitor the general state of the Electronic Update (Scheduled, Active, and so forth) in the Code Insight Jobs queue, described briefly in About Electronic Update Jobs.
Note:The notification message is displayed in the user interface only when an Electronic Update is in the Active state in the Jobs queue. It is not displayed when the update is in the Scheduled state. See About Electronic Update Jobs for more information.
Once the Electronic Update completes, the notification message is automatically removed. (Users cannot manually remove the message.)
When an Electronic Update is triggered either manually or automatically at its scheduled time, a PDL Update job is added to the Code Insight Jobs queue. This job will execute immediately as long as no other jobs in the queue are in an Active state (that is, currently running). If other jobs are active, the update will be queued with a Scheduled status and automatically run after these currently active jobs complete. Additionally, once the Electronic Update is added to the Jobs queue (as Active or Scheduled), any new or already scheduled jobs remain in the Scheduled state until the update is complete. The scheduled jobs will then run in appropriate queue order.
Exceptions to the Jobs Queue Process
The following are exceptions to the above Jobs queue process when an Electronic Update is added to the queue:
| • | One or more active scans can still be running at the point when the Electronic Update is placed in an Active state. The active update waits for these scans to complete before it actually executes. |
| • | If a Library Refresh job is already scheduled when the Electronic Update is added to the Jobs queue, the Library Refresh job takes priority and runs first while the update is placed in a scheduled state until the refresh completes. The Electronic Update then takes priority. |
