Keeping the Product Current

After you have completed the console setup, click on Console at the very top of the administration tree:

Console tree

If there are updates, fixes, new rules, case studies or other material ready on our update server, there will be a message about those updates.

Console

To see the updates available, simply click on the notification.

Please note that the updates available depend on the type of server licenses you have installed

The update screen will appear as shown below.

Update ready to install

Depending on how your console was shipped, downloads will include new or updated rule examples, new or updated extensions and updates to demo and the console application itself.

Note that brand new updates are marked with the BETA tag for 7 days after their release. This is done to allow you to apply updates conservatively.

Installing updates

To install a given update, simply select it and click on Install selected (alternatively you can install all updates available by clicking on Install all).

If you choose to download a console update, please be patient as they can exceed 25Mb in size and can take several minutes do download and install. Once the download update is completed, simply log out of the console, wait around 30 seconds, and log back in to get the new version. Any users who don’t log out will simply remain on the old version until they do.

Note that if you install a new application version, you should always clear your browser cache to pick up any changes.

Updating when the console has no internet connection

In some instances, the console does not have direct internet access. To still facilitate the download of updates, Composable Architecture Platform can use a fallback mechanism known as CORS (Cross-Origin Request Services). This essentially allows the console to reverse proxy through the browser used to access it. At the time of release only the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox support this web technology.
