Running the Local Electronic Update from Your Machine

Use the following procedure to run a local Electronic Update from your machine after you have obtained the update_manifest.txt file and update.zip files.

To run a local Electronic Update, do the following:

  1. On the Code Insight Dashboard, click administration. The Administration page appears with a list of side tabs. (You can also access this page by clicking the icon in the upper right corner of the Code Insight web page to open the Code Insight main menu. From this menu, select ADMINISTRATION.)

  2. Select the Electronic Updates tab.

  3. Click Local for Electronic Update Type.

  4. Click Select File next to the Update Manifest File field to select the update_manifest.txt that Code Insight will upload to perform the update. (This file was manually downloaded from Revenera prior to this request for an update. You can locate this file at the locally accessible location to which it was saved.)

  5. Click Select File next to the Update Data File field to select the update.zip file that Code Insight will upload to perform the update. (This file was manually downloaded from Revenera prior to this request for an update. You can locate this file at the locally accessible location to which it was saved.)

  6. For Run Update Now, select the update scope:

    • Incremental Update---Schedule an incremental Electronic Update. However, if no changes have occurred in the Electronic Update data since it was last run, the update is not initiated.
    • Full Update---Force a full Electronic Update whether or not changes have occurred in the Electronic Update data since it was last run. Use this option judiciously as a full Electronic Update takes several hours to complete, similar to the time required to run the initial update when Code Insight was installed. (You might need to force a full update, for example, if the most recent update did not complete properly.)

  7. Click Update to star the Electronic Update process. First, Code Insight uploads the update manifest and data files and extracts the upload.zip file. It then triggers the Electronic Update job (that is, adds it as a PDL Update job to the Code Insight Jobs queue). For more information about how the job is handled in the queue, see About Electronic Update Jobs.

  8. Monitor the Electronic Update. You can use either of these methods:

    • Once an Electronic Update is added to the Jobs queue, you can monitor its start, execution, and completion in the queue, as described in the "Monitoring the Code Insight Jobs Queue" section in the Code Insight User Guide.
    • While the Electronic Update is running, you can track the progress of each of its phases by clicking the link in the Electronic Update notification message that is displayed on each Code Insight page (see Tracking the Progress of an Electronic Update).
