The repository of Enterprise 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 (products). Each product resides in a separate subfolder of the repository folder located in the var folder, which in case of installation with the default settings is lodged in the Server root folder. In the repository each product is dealt with separately.
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. The repository synchronizes revisions of products as follows:
a)to Enterprise Server from the product update site (via HTTP),
|
For Server 5.0 and later versions, updates are not supplied, regardless of repository settings for the Server software. To upgrade the Server, use the installer of corresponding version and make the upgrade procedure according to general rules, described in Upgrading Dr.Web ESS for Windows® OS or Upgrading Dr.Web ESS for UNIX® System-Based Systems. |
b)between different Enterprise Servers in a multi-server configuration according to a specified synchronization policy,
c)from Enterprise Server to workstations.
The repository allows to set up the following parameters:
◆the list of product update sites in a) operations,
◆restrictions to the number of products requiring synchronization of a) type (thus, a user is enabled to track only necessary changes of certain files or categories of files),
◆restrictions to product components requiring synchronization of c) type (a user can choose what should be installed on the workstation),
◆control of switching to new revisions (independent testing of products before installation is possible),
◆adding one's own components to products,
◆independent creation of new products which will be synchronized too.
The Server repository deals with the following products:
◆Enterprise Server,
◆Enterprise Agent (the Agent software and the Scheduler, the anti-virus package for workstations),
◆the Dr.Web Control Center,
◆virus databases.
