Library Update

 
The Library Import Global Console menu is the starting point when making Library Updates:
 
This page displays:
 
An additional Update button is displayed on the top-right. Pressing that button causes the file upload controls to be shown:
 
Click on the Add File button opens the browser's Open (file) dialog, allowing the appropriate file(s) to be selected. The screenshot image above displays an example of the library update operation, with two packages being uploaded. Notice there is a progress bar and a percentage value displayed inside the tags (labels), indicating the amount of file being uploaded, as well as an "x" button, which allows canceling individual files from being uploaded.
 
Important: To cause packages to actually be deployed, they have to be selected by clicking on the checkbox next to the Package Name, which enables the Upload button under the data grid - the Upload button is disabled until at least one package is selected. Normally, the Admin will select all packages for deployment by clicking on the checkbox in the header row.
 
The update mechanism allows more than one file to be specified. If any files have either different base package versions or include the same non-base package as each other (even if they are the same version), the user is warned and asked whether he really wants to proceed.
 
Note: after the Library import process has completed at the Global Console level, the Library data still needs to be distributed to the various Site Master servers. This can take additional time and therefore all package updates may not be immediately available on all servers. The status of any in-process update to a particular Site can be viewed in an IRM Web Client for that particular Site.
