Column name

Description

Distributed

Automatic marker in this column defines the state of product revisions. Two types of markers are available:

—Distributed revision. Revision used for updating Agents and anti-virus software on the workstations.

Revision for distribution is selected as follows:

1.Revision indicated with the marker in the Current column is distributed. Only one revision can be marked.

2.If no revision is marked in the Current column, the revision indicated with the marker in the Stored column is distributed.

3.If no revision is marked in the Current and Stored columns, the last revision is distributed.

The automatic marker always indicates the distributed revision.

—Frozen revision. A frozen revision is not distributed to stations, new revisions are not downloaded from the Server. For actions under frozen revision, refer to Delayed Updates.

If a revision is frozen, the revision for distribution is selected as follows:

1.If the marker in the Current column is set, the current revision is distributed to stations.

2.If the marker in the Current column is not set, the revision that precedes the current one is distributed to stations.

Current

Set the marker to specify the revision used for updating Agents and anti-virus software on the stations.

Only one revision can be selected as current.

Alternatively, a marker that indicates the current revision can be not set.

If you roll back the current version of the Agent for Windows to the previous revision (to install the previous version of the Agent on stations), the stations will be forced to restart at interval of five minutes. You cannot change the interval or cancel the restart. Station users are notified about the upcoming restart in the popup message.

Stored

Set the marker to save the revision when the repository is automatically cleaned up (see also Synchronization).

The marker can be set for different revisions simultaneously.

Alternatively, a marker can be not set.

If the product revision is stable, you can mark it as stored and if unstable revision get downloaded from GUS, you will be able to roll back to the previous one.

Held

Automatic marker defines that components from this revision are installed on stations with update restrictions (in the Update restrictions section, the Update only bases and Forbid all updates options are set).

The revision is not deleted when repository is purged automatically and can be used if failed components must be reinstalled on station or additional components of this revision must be installed.

Revision

The date the product revision was received.

If the revision is frozen, the blocking status displays in the column as well.

On the Synchronization tab, you can configure parameters for updating the Server repository from GUS:

•The Number of temporary stored revisions field specifies the number of product revisions temporary stored on disk not including revisions which are marked at least in one column of the Revisions list tab. When a new revision is received and the number of temporary stored revisions already reached the specified allowed value, the oldest temporary stored revision is removed. Revisions marked as Current, Stored, Distributed and Held are not automatically removed and are not taken into account when calculating temporary stored revisions.

•Set the Disable product update flag to disable receiving updates for this product from the GUS servers. Agents will be updated to the current revision on the Server (or according to the procedure used to select the distributed revision).

•Set the Update only following files flag to receive updates from GUS only for the file listed below.

•Set the Do not update only following files flag to disable updating from GUS only for the file listed below.

1.From the full list of product files only those are selected that are specified in the Update only following files lists.

2.From the selection at step 1, files specified in the Do not update only following files lists are removed.

On the Notifications tab, you can configure notifications on repository updates:

•Set the Do not notify only about following files flag to disable notifications on events of the files listed below.

•Set the Notify only about following files flag to enable notifications on events of the files listed below.

If exceptions list are not specified, all notifications enabled on the Notifications configuration page are sent.

Parameters of notifications on repository updates are configured in the Notifications configuration page, in the Repository section.

On the Delayed updates tab, you can delay distribution of updates on stations for the specified period of time. A delayed revision is considered frozen.

The option to delay updates is useful when you need to temporarily cancel distribution of last product revision on all stations of the anti-virus network, e.g., if you want to perform preliminary testing of this revision on a limited number of stations.

1.For the product, update of which you want to freeze, configure delayed updates as described below.

2.To disable distribution of the last revision, set one of the previous revisions as a current on the Revision list tab.

3.For the group of stations that will receive the last revision, set the Receive the latest updates flag on the Anti-virus Network → Update Restrictions for Workstations section. Other workstations will receive the revision which you selected as current at step 2.

4.The next downloaded from the GUS revision which is satisfying the conditions specified for the Delay updates for the following files only option, will be frozen and delayed for the time period specified in the Change updates delay time list.

1.Set the Delay updates flag to temporarily disable downloading updates from GUS servers for this product.

2.In the Updates delay time drop-down list, select the time period to delay downloading of updates starting from the moment of their receive from the GUS servers.

3.If required, set the Delay updates for the following files only flag to delay distribution of updates that contain files which corresponds to the masks specified below. Masks are specified in the format of regular expressions.

•On the Revision list tab, click

Execute immediately to disable the frozen state for the product and add the revision to the list of revisions distributed to stations according to the general procedure.

•On the Revision list tab, click
