The repository of Dr.Web Server is designed to store benchmark copies of the anti-virus software and update them from GUS servers.
The repository deals with sets of files called products. Each product resides in a separate subfolder of the var/repository Dr.Web Server folder. The functions of the repository and their management are made separately for each product.
To administrate the updating in the repository product revisions are used. A revision is a correct state of product files at a certain time (including file names and checksums) and has its unique number.
Update of Repository Products
Update of the product revisions can be performed as follows:
a)Download updates to Dr.Web Server from Dr.Web GUS.
The Dr.Web Server repository updates automatically from GUS according to tasks in the Dr.Web Server schedule.
•To view the tasks for repository updating, go to the General Repository Configuration section, the Task Scheduler tab.
•To change update from GUS schedule, go to the Setting Dr.Web Server Schedule section.
•To check for updates and download them manually, go to the Repository State section and click Check for updates.
b)Propagate updates between different Dr.Web Servers in a multi-server configuration.
If you have several Dr.Web Servers installed in your anti-virus network, you can configure interserver connections to transmit repository updates:
•For the parent-child type of connection, Dr.Web Servers receiving updates from GUS are parent, and child Dr.Web Servers receive all updates from parent automatically.
•For the peer-to-peer type of connection, any of them can receive updates from GUS. At this, other Dr.Web Servers receive all updates from it automatically.
Description of interserver connections configuration is given in the Peculiarities of a Network with Several Dr.Web Servers section.
|
If interserver connections are configured in the network, and other neighbor Dr.Web Servers receive updates from your Dr.Web Server, you must enable updates of all systems and interface languages of these neighbor Dr.Web Servers on your Dr.Web Server. |
c)Distribute updates from Dr.Web Server to workstations.
Updates of stations software are checked, downloaded from Dr.Web Server, and installed on stations automatically at each connection of Dr.Web Agents to Dr.Web Server, and also, with some periodicity during the Dr.Web Agents operation (it cannot be configured and performed transparent for the administrator).
If necessary, you can configure limitations for time and traffic of the Dr.Web Agent updates in the Update Restrictions for Workstations section.
Configure of Repository Parameters
The repository allows the anti-virus network administrator to configure the following parameters:
•The list of product update sites in a) operations.
Parameters of connection to GUS are configured in the General Repository Configuration section.
•Restrictions to the number of products requiring synchronization of a) type.
Compound of downloaded products from GUS are configured in the General Repository Configuration and Detailed Repository Configuration sections.
Thus, administrator is enabled to track only necessary changes of certain files or categories of files.
•Restrictions to product components requiring synchronization of c) type.
Administrator of Dr.Web Server an select what should be installed on the workstation. Anti-virus components list is configured in the Installable Components of the Anti-Virus Package section.
•Control of switching to new revisions.
Revisions are configured for each repository product separately in the Detailed Repository Configuration section.
Independent testing of products before installation is possible.
•Repository content management as files and folders.
The Repository Content section allows to view and manage current repository content as files and folders of repository: perform export and import either separate products or all repository content and its settings.
