Auto Update


Auto Update periodically checks for and applies patch updates in a single click from the application UI. This ensures that the application is always up-to-date without the user having to check for any patch updates manually.
Currently, only security patches are auto-updated.   Auto Update does not support Linux and High Availability (HA) setups. 

Role Required: SDAdmins

  1. Check your network connection.
  2. Allowlist the URL in firewall settings.

How does Auto Update Work?   
Whenever a new update is available, the patch is downloaded and the users are notified via email. If the HotSwap option is enabled, minor patch updates are applied automatically without application restart. However, these updates are temporary because they will be removed when the application is restarted. To apply the patches permanently, click the Update and Restart button on the Auto Update configuration page.

  3. Under Settings, enable HotSwap. This option auto-applies minor patch updates temporarily without application restart.
