Enable global updating on ePolicy Orchestrator server

Global updating is a feature that you can turn on or off from the ePolicy Orchestrator
console. When turned on, selected changes to your master repository trigger an
automatic replication to distributed repositories, if any, followed by a SuperAgent
wakeup call to your entire Directory. The SuperAgents in turn wake up agents in their
local subnets.
To enable on global updating:
1 In the console tree, select your ePolicy Orchestrator server.
Settings
2 In the details pane, select the tab.

6 Under , select .

7 Click to save the change.
Now that you have SuperAgents deployed to subnets your network and global updating
enabled, any time you change the DAT files, engine files, or VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i
files in your master repository, the changes automatically replicate to your repositories.
Once that replication is completed, the ePolicy Orchestrator server sends a SuperAgent
wakeup call to the SuperAgents. The SuperAgents in turn send out a wakeup call to all
agents in the local subnet. Those agents check in with the server and download policy
changes. From checking in the changes to your master repository to your last client
system receiving its update, this process should take no longer than one hour.
