Install Service Packs
AdventNet periodically provides Service Packs which contain new features, fixes for certain bugs and document updates in the form of HTML files. The Service Pack can be downloaded from the Web site and updated into the TL1 product using the Update Manager tool.
There are two ways in which a Service Pack can be installed:
Install a Service Pack using Update Manager UI
The Update Manager can be invoked by choosing Update Manager from the Options menu in the Launcher. Alternatively, you can invoke Update Manager by executing the UpdateManager.bat/sh file from the <TL1_Home>/bin directory. When you start the Update Manager, the Service Packs already installed are listed. There are options to install, uninstall, and view details about any Service Pack.

Warning: Ensure that no application is running when applying the Service Pack. This prevents any files used by the application from being over-written. |
The steps to apply a Service Pack are as follows.
Start Update manager: Either run the UpdateManager.bat/sh file in the <TL1_Home>/bin directory or by clicking the menu Options --> Update Manager.
Select the Install option: Click Install... button.
Select the Service Pack file: Click the Browse button and select the Service Pack file (.ppm) to be installed.
Install the Service Pack: You can go through the Readme file of the Service Pack by clicking the Show Readme button and Install the Service Pack by clicking the Install button. If the Service Pack has some optional upgrades, it will prompt you to select the same if required and then continue.
View Readme and Logs: If you want to go through the Readme and Logs created during the Service Pack update, check the View Readme and Logs option in the bottom-left corner of the screen and click the Close button. By default, this option is checked. If you un-check this option and close, the main screen is shown.

Note: On clicking the Install button, the tool checks whether there is enough space for the installation of the service pack. If there is not enough space, the tool informs the user about the lack of space. You must clear the space and then proceed with the installation. |
Now the Service Pack has been installed in the TL1 API product.
Install a Service Pack using Update Manager Command Line
Run the UpdateManager.bat/sh file under <TL1_Home>/bin directory with the -c option (UpdateManager -c). The options to install, uninstall, view installed Service Pack versions and exit will be shown and you will be prompted to enter your choice.

There are two ways in which the Service Pack details can be viewed.
