This chapter provides a brief overview of the content administration functions available to users in BELTS.

Procedure 7.1. Perform Content Administration

From this point, the following actions may be performed:

7.1. Retrieve updates from a content provider

This function allows a BELTS content manager to manually request the latest updates from a content provider, rather than waiting for the next scheduled update. This function is useful, for example, if it is known that new content has been made available upstream and it is desired to access it straight away.

Procedure 7.2. Retrieve updates from a content provider

  • Within the Administration Tasks window, select the Retrieve updates from a content provider option.

    A screen is displayed to allow you to select the provider from a list of those available.

  • Select the Provider Id to force a manual update from the selected provider.

    A request is sent to the server to update the provider.

    [Note]Note

    This request may take some time to fulfill. Once it is complete, the Administration Tasks screen is redisplayed.
