Is is possible to manually install check updates in Changebase 6.x (4282283)

Yes, the ChangeBase Checks can be updated manually as follows:

1. Download the latest Check Updates file (.cbu) from the ChangeBase Support Portal and save it to the ChangeBase server where the service runs.

2. In the ChangeBase console select Settings | Check Updates

3. Select the "Browse for Update" button and select the .cbu file previously downloaded and select Open. The updated checks will be loaded.

4. Select the required updates and click apply update. This will allow the selection of a time and date to schedule the update. If no time is selected it will run after 2 minutes.

NOTE:

When you have selected your checks for update you must then carefully consider when to apply your update. Do not schedule ChangeBASE check updates to occur during times when you expect to reboot, install system patches, or make any system changes on the machine that is running the ChangeBASE service.

Updates are a long running operation and may take some time to complete if you have a large number of packages in your database, therefore, you must consider a suitable time to schedule the updates. When the check update occurs the ChangeBASE service will restart itself, ALL open ChangeBASE clients will be disconnected and ALL repositories will be stopped until the operation is complete. It is recommended to back-up the ChangeBASE repository databases before the update is applied.
After the ChangeBASE service has restarted the clients will be able to reconnect to the service. You will then see your updated checks on the Checks screen.

You can verify which Checks were updated by looking at the Recent Activity widget and you can also verify the state of the Scheduled job by looking at the Scheduled Jobs widget.

For more information please refer to the User Guide for the appropriate version of Changebase.
