GUM (Gatewatcher Update Manager) is a tool that allows the management of updates (updates).

This procedure describes how to configure automatic update from:

The GUI is described in `Admin- GUM - Config` screen of the legacy web UI.

Note

If necessary, configure a proxy (refer to Proxy Settings Configuration).

8.5.1.2. Prerequisites

User : member of Administrator group

8.5.1.3. Preliminary operations

Login to GCenter via a browser (see Connecting to the GCenter web interface via a web browser).
In the case of local mode, perform the local repository configuration prerequisites:

The server must be reachable in HTTP on port 80

Create the following tree structure: "2.5.3.10X/GCenter" according to the GCenter version (2.5.3.100 or 2.5.3.101)

Retrieve the necessary gwp files (full.gwp for example) on https://update.gatewatcher.com/update/

In "2.5.3.10X/gcenter", put the previously retrieved gwp file

In "2.5.3.10X/gcenter", put a sha256s file that contains an entry "sha256sum NomDuFichier"

Note

The 2.5.3.10X folder must be at the root of the HTTP server that was previously launched for the local mode to work.
