Starting auto discovery
By default, Bravura Security Fabric runs auto discovery every night at 1:30 am. Bravura Security Fabricautomatically schedules this "psupdate" job when you add your first target system.
To manually start auto discovery , from the Manage the system (PSA) module, click Manage the system > Maintenance > Auto discovery > Execute auto discovery , then click
Continue. Bravura Security Fabric displays the Auto discovery status page that indicates whether auto discovery is running. Click Refresh to update the page.
Each time it is run, auto discovery attempts to verify that it is not already running on another server.
Warning
Never run psupdate on more than one replicated Bravura Security Fabric server at the same time.
To run specific tasks during auto discovery:
Clear the All checkbox for Selected target systems.
Type, or search for, the IDs of the target systems you want to include.
Select the tasks you want to include:
Task
Equivalent command
List data from specified target systems.
psupdate.exe -target <target ID> -list
Load data from specified target systems into the database
psupdate.exe -target <target ID> -loaddb
You can also run auto discovery for specific targets on the target system information page or by navigating to Manage the system > Resources > Target systems > <type>, selecting targets and clicking Run discovery.
Alternatively, you can start auto discovery from the command line by running the psupdate program.
See psupdate for command-line options and examples.
Warning
Do not interrupt the auto discovery process either by manually stopping the psupdate process or by stopping application services or the server itself while psupdate is running.
Interrupting auto discovery may leave behind broken queues or other data which may lead to data loss and lost access to the application by a large percentage of its users.
If you need to run server or application database maintenance, plan for it and disable the PSUPDATE scheduled job ahead of time.
That includes any other Custom automated means of running the process, or any other bulk automation.
