Installing the UpdateService

The UpdateService is installed on the CoreService Master by default. If you need to install the UpdateService on a different hardware than the core server follow the steps below.

By default, the UpdateService uses port 63000 and 63001 to communicate with the UpdateAgents.

Check that ports 63000 and 63001 are not blocked by a firewall.

Only one server should be the UpdateService server. Having multiple UpdateService servers is not recommended.

To install and run the UpdateService on a different server than the Core Service Master server, it is recommended to remove it from the main server before installation (see Customization and repair).

Before installing updates with the UpdateService (e.g. from R9 to R10), update all UpdateAgents with the current UpdateService.

Always check the current version's Release Notes for any specific instructions on using the Update Service that may be unique to a particular software version.
  1. Select the server that runs the UpdateService.
  2. Provide the IP address of the server for the UpdateService. All UpdateAgents have to connect to the UpdateService by the specified IP address
  3. Start a user-defined installation and select "UpdateService" in the server components
Configuring the UpdateService

The UpdateService and the update behavior of the UpdateAgents can be managed with the Ocularis Recorder UpdateServer Configuration tool. The UpdateServer Configuration tool will be installed automatically with the UpdateService on the server.

For configuration settings, see UpdateServer Configuration Tool.
