Data Collector Updates with an aptare.jar File
The APTARE Data Collector aptare.jar file is periodically updated. The aptare.jar encapsulates the main processing logic of the APTARE Data Collector.
Data collector updates can happen in the following ways:
• When data collector services are running: Data Collectors look for an update every 11 minutes. Once the portal is upgraded, the Data Collector will upgrade automatically.
• When data collector services are running and for some reason, such as local changes, the Data Collector must be updated again: The Portal can be used to start the update from Admin>Data Collection>Collector Updates.
Note: The latest distribution of aptare.jar updates is distributed through the regular patch release process.
Manual Download of the aptare.jar File
Use the following procedure to manually update your Data Collector:
1. Use the downloadlib utility to manually download the aptare.jar file. Note that this utility must be run with administrative privileges.
Windows: <Home>\mbs\bin\downloadlib.bat
Linux: <Home>/mbs/bin/downloadlib.sh
2. If you run the downloadlib utility and you get the following message, it indicates that the restore failed or is in progress: Restore has been running for more than 10 minutes, unable to proceed with collector upgrade.
To proceed, delete the restore.txt file and re-run downloadlib.
Windows: <Home>\upgrade\restore.txt
Linux: <Home>/upgrade/restore.txt
