This chapter provides a brief overview of the content administration functions available to users in BELTS.
Procedure 7.1. Perform Content Administration
Within the BELTS window, select Administration from the menu.
The Administration Tasks Screen is displayed
From this point, the following actions may be performed:
Select the Retrieve updates from a content provider option to perform the Retrieve updates from a content provider function.
Select the Regenerate XML Cache option to perform the Regenerate XML Cache function.
Select the Rebuild Curriculum Organiser option to perform the Rebuild Curriculum Organiser function.
Select the Browse the XML Cache option to perform the Browse the XML Cache function.
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.
From this point, the following actions may be performed:
Select the Provider Id to force a manual update from the selected provider.
A request is sent to the server to update the provider.
