Like
the
OfficeScan server, Update
Agents also use component duplication when downloading components.
See
OfficeScan Server
Component Duplication for details
on how the server performs component duplication.
The component duplication process for Update Agents is as follows:
-
The Update Agent compares its current full pattern version
with the latest version on the update source. If the difference
between the two versions is 14 or less, the Update Agent downloads
the incremental pattern that accounts for the difference between
the two versions.
|
Note
If the difference is more than 14,
the Update Agent automatically downloads the full version of the
pattern file.
|
-
The Update Agent merges the incremental pattern it downloaded
with its current full pattern to generate the latest full pattern.
-
The Update Agent downloads all the remaining incremental
patterns on the update source.
-
The latest full pattern and all the incremental patterns
are made available to clients.
