Steps to enable auto-apply for Data Platform and User Console patches
You can enable automatic patch application for the Data Platform and User Console by changing a configuration setting in the application files. This allows patches to be applied automatically after the Technopedia catalog sync completes.
- Locate the Norm.Configuration.config file in the '...\BDNA\Data Platform\Conf' folder of the Data Platform installation directory.
- Open the Norm.Configuration.config file and edit the following line:
<AUTO_UPDATE_SOFTWARE>OFF</AUTO_UPDATE_SOFTWARE>Change OFF to ON.
- Save the changes made to the file.
- Restart the Data Platform service from Windows Services.
- After the Technopedia catalog sync runs, any newly detected patch will be auto-applied once the sync completes.
Once enabled, the Data Platform will automatically apply available patches after every successful Technopedia catalog synchronization.
