Parameters of AUSST 3.0 / Scheduling

Report · Jun 19, 2013

Hello everyone,

after moving to CCP1.1 and AUSST 3.0 I would like to know what the option:

"4. Migrate to an In-House Server" in the AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool.exe --root="" - command stands for?

In the documentation it is mentioned: "The details of these options are available earlier in the article." Unfortunatley I can't find anything about it.

Or does it just mean that I have to use this option if i wanna move my current update server to another one?

Another question that I have is about scheduling.

I've seen in the "new functions" the following,very interesting point:

"You can automate or schedule AUSST runs -- AUSST now includes options to run the command without any manual intervention at run time."

My question is: How can I do this?

I got the following system information for you:

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP 2

Everything set up working with AUSST 2.0 and AMEE 3.1

I hope anybody can help me with that.

If you need any additional information just let me know.

P.S.: It would be great if there is going to be a video about AUSST 3.0 by Karl Gibson, as I used his guide from AMEE 3.1 and now I've found his video about CCP.Great work!

Kind regards

Hi,

The commandline you mentioned can be used for in-house server migration. This means if you have another server, you can move the entire set of updates to the new location. In that case, you do not need to go for downloading updates from Adobe Update Server.

Previously, AUSST was an interactive tool. Once you run it, it would ask you what task you want to perform. Certainly, this behavior was a major setback for people who wanted to use cronjobs or windows task scheduler. In the latest release, we have got rid of this. So, there are commandlines for incremental and forced sync that do not require any user intervention. This makes it ideal to be used in cronjobs and windows task scheduler.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
