    Article Summary

    The purpose of system updates is to promote a better security and to streamline the update experience overall. They rely on the System Updates scheduled task. It is even possible to configure unattended updates for your Liquit Workspace environment.

    Option availability

    This option is visible for:

    • administrators with zone level permissions - they have read-only permission regarding the updates applied to their zone and Liquit Workspace Satellite Servers associated with their zone.
    • administrators with system level permissions - they have full management rights over all zones, Liquit Workspace Servers and Liquit Workspace Satellite Servers within their zone. To manage servers of another zone, administrators must first connect to that zone.
    • the LOCAL\admin user (by default), who has system level permissions.

    There are 2 types of updates available for Liquit Workspace:

    • Quality: Minor updates that contain stability and performance improvements without introducing new features.

    • Feature: Major updates that contain new customer requested features, stability and performance improvements.

    Dashboard screen

    See details about the current configuration of the system updates, like which channel you are subscribed to, whether or not your system is outdated and which updates are currently available.

    Refreshed at - The last time the system checked if an update is available.
    Current - The currently installed version of Liquit Workspace.
    Status - The current update status of Liquit Workspace:

    • Unknown - No version information is available.
    • Current - The server version is up to date.
    • Out of date - The server version is not up to date.
    • Failed - The update failed to install.
    • Pending - The server version is waiting to be updated.
    • In progress - The server version is currently being updated.

    Latest quality update - The latest quality update available for installation which you can apply to a specified server.
    Latest feature update - The latest feature update available for installation which you can apply to a specified server.

    Settings screen

    Here you can define the channel you want to subscribe to:

    • Production - All updates that are available within this channel have been tested and verified for production environments.
    • Preview - All updates will be published within the preview channel before they will become available within the production channel. These updates are not recommended for production environments, unless instructed by our support desk.

    Here you can also configure if and how long the server that has an update queued should enter maintenance mode, before applying the update. This way the Load Balancing solution has time to temporarily remove the server from the group of available servers.

    Displays and overview of all the servers within you current Liquit Workspace environment.

    refresh1 Enable/Disable auto refresh - If enabled, the information is automatically updated periodically.
