Use the Live Network settings to specify how and when the HP Live Network content is updated. You can set up a schedule for automatic updates or initiate an immediate update. You should always perform an update after you install or upgrade your HPCA software to ensure that you have the most current content.
See Accessing HP Live Network Content.
Whether you choose to schedule automatic updates or initiate an immediate update, you must specify the content source for the update. You have the following choices:
The live network content source is retrieved from the HP Live Network content server and published to the HPCA infrastructure. By default, this path is:
<InstallDir>\LiveNetwork\lnc\bin\live-network-connector.bat
This path is configured automatically by HPCA. You do not need to specify this path unless you have downloaded a new copy of the HP Live Network Connector and installed it in a different location.
To use this option, you must have an active HP Live Network subscription. This is not included in your HPCA software. See your HP representative for details.
It is possible to select content type (premium or basic) depending on your access rights.
Note: If you select a content type to which you do not have rights (for example, premium content), the entire acquisition will fail. This means that no content types will be updated including the ones covered by a basic support contract (basic content). Be sure you select just those content types to which you are entitled to avoid acquisition failure.
A copy of the live network content is published from a location in the file system on the system where the HPCA Core is installed. You must specify the path of the folder that contains the content, and you must manually download these items from the HP Live Network content server before you can initiate an update.
The folder structure from the file system location specified must exactly match the folder structure that is created when the HP Live Network Connector downloads content, as shown here:
The subdirectories under each of these folders must also match exactly.
In some cases, HP Live Network updates only a subset of the content. In this case, some of these directories may not be delivered during a Live Network update.
For more information about using this option, see Run the HP Live Network Connector Manually.
The content previously published to the CSDB are loaded into the Reporting database.
