Administration Packages

This section describes the dialog to manage Dollar Universe Node Settings Packages and Auto-patch packages.

Accessible when selecting a node, this feature provides the ability to manage

• Dollar Universe V6 node settings and deploy them on multiple DUAS V6 nodes.

• Dollar Universe update packages and provides capabilities for deployment to target DUAS V6 Nodes.

  A package must be imported prior to deployment.

  The user must alert cluster resource monitoring to stop the fail-over before deploying an autopatch package to a DUAS cluster.

Columns

• Package

  Package name

• Comment

  Package description

• Package Version

  Creation/ modification date of package

• Package Creator

  Login name that created / modified the package.

• Package Origin

  Origin of last update to the package.

  • "File" if the package was imported from a file.
  • A Dollar Universe V6 node if an existing object was added to a package.
  • The Management Server name if the package was created or modified directly on the server.

• Deployment Status

  Status of deployment when package was last deployed:

  • Not deployed: The package was never deployed.
  • Package sent: The package is sent to the DUAS V6 node. Be careful, if the user deploy an autopatch from master UVMS to DUAS V6 node of a subordinate UVMS, the final status of deployment is not updated on the master UVMS.
  • OK: The package is up to date everywhere it was deployed and no deployment has failed.
  • Not OK: in the event of failure of deployment to a target node or in the event of an obsolete deployed package.

Toolbar

• New, Display, Update

  Available for a node settings package. Displays the package details window. See section: "Package Details".

• Delete

  Deletes the package from the Univiewer Management Server, but does not delete the objects that were deployed using this package.

• Deployment

  Displays the deployment management page. See section: "Administration Package Deployment".

  For an auto-patch package, the deployment procedure starts by copying the package to the U_TMP_PATH directory (so this folder must have at least 400 MB to deploy the autopatch package). This disk space is not controlled by the procedure, so package deployment will simply fail in case of too low free disk space. Then Dollar Universe is stopped, updated, and restarted .

• Import or Tools > Import

  Imports a package from a backup file. See section: Tools > Import.

• Tools > Export

  Exports a node settings package to a backup file. See section Tools > Export

• Tools > UVMS exchange

  Available for a node settings package. For advanced architecture (master UVMS / subordinate UVMS, external UVMS), this action is for selecting UVMS nodes (with a connected status on the local UVMS) that are destinations for object packages. See section Tools > UVMS Exchange
