The "Loaded Software" window
This table shows all Prinect software that is installed and that is to be installed.
This window has the following tabs:
•All Packages
The following controls are available in the tabs of the "Loaded Software" window:
(1) Button "Enlarge window" | The window is enlarged to the full size of the browser window. Clicking the button again resets the window size. |
(2) Button "Close window" | The window closes. |
(3) Button "Select Columns" | A dialog opens where you can select the columns to be shown or hidden in the table. |
The original table layout is restored, which means that hidden columns are displayed again and columns that were not originally displayed are hidden. | |
(5) Search function | To quickly find specific table items, you can enter a string (letters and/or numbers). The entire table is searched immediately after the input. Items found are highlighted in color. Clicking the "x" will clear the search field, display the original table contents and reset the highlights. |
(6) "Case sensitive" option | With this option enabled, only those entries that match exactly the case of the text you entered will be found. |
(7) Button "Delete updates no longer needed" | If you click the table entry of a data package that is no longer required (marked with a recycle bin symbol) or an update package that is available for installation and then press this button, a dialog opens where you can select the packages to be deleted in the local Repository. |
(8) "Refresh view" button | The window content is refreshed. |
Changing the sort order of columns
You can change the sort order of the columns in the table by clicking the header of the respective column. Then a double arrow appears. If you click this double arrow, the sort order in the column is reversed, for example, from descending to ascending or vice versa. See also Change the table column order.
Changing the column position
You can change the position of a column as follows: click the column header, move the column to the new position within the header column while holding the left mouse button pressed, and release the mouse button when finished.
Deleting product installation or update packages
You can delete executable or no longer required update packages (tagged with a Recycle Bin icon) from the local Repository:
•Click the button "Delete updates no longer needed" (7) or
•Select the corresponding list item and use the context menu command "Delete Package".
This tab displays all update/upgrade packages and product installation packages. In the table (also in the other tabs of this window), the entries can have the following states:
| The Update Package is available and can be applied. |
| The Update Package was withdrawn and cannot be applied. |
| The update package is obsolete, which means it is no longer required and can be deleted. |
| The item is not required, for example, if the product was not installed until now and therefore no update is required. |
| The update package was not tested by the PSC and is tagged as "unknown". For example, this state can occur if update packages are imported locally via hotfolder. |
| The update package has not (yet) been downloaded completely from the PSC. |
Product Updates
Update packages installed during product updates or available for installation are displayed here. The "Priority" column indicates the urgency of the installation for each update package. Update packages with priority "High" should be installed as soon as possible, otherwise a system shutdown could occur. Update packages with priority "Urgent" should be installed immediately — they fix security-related or production-critical errors.
In the lower part of the window you can find the "Description" and "Hints for the Administrator" fields. When you select an update, the corresponding information will appear in these fields. This can be useful if the information is too long to be displayed in the corresponding columns.
Cumulative updates represent groups of product updates compiled by HEIDELBERG. The interdependencies are automatically taken into account. In contrast to product upgrades, cumulative updates will not change the master version of the respective products. This means the base and target versions of the products are assigned to the same master version or year version.
You can install cumulative updates when they are in the "available" state (green dot).
"Available Cumulative Updates" section
Displays all cumulative updates available in the PMC or local repository. During installation, cumulative updates will receive the version defined in the "Description" column. This description — and not individual products — determines the update version.
"Details about Selected Cumulative Update" section
Displays information about the components (Remote Update Packages — RUP) of the respective cumulative update selected in the upper list.
System upgrades are updates to the master version of a Prinect software. Compared to a product update, a system upgrade is a very complex process, which is performed relatively rarely and has to be monitored by an operator. Unlike product updates for individual products, a system upgrade updates many products at the same time.
You can install system upgrades when they are in the "available" state (green dot).
"Available System Upgrades" area
All system upgrades available in the PMC or local repository are displayed here. During installation, system upgrades are updated to the version defined in the "Description" column. This description — and not individual products — determines the upgrade version.
"Details about Selected System Upgrade" area
Displays information about the components (Remote Update Packages — RUP) of the system upgrade selected in the upper list.
The installation packages of the individual Prinect products are displayed here. The names of the Prinect products are listed in the "Program" column.
In the lower part of the window you can find the "Description" and "Hints for the Administrator" fields. When you select a product installation, the corresponding information will appear in these fields. This can be useful if the information is too long to be displayed in the corresponding columns.
