Service Installation Updates

The service can automatically be updated by running the Update-Service.ps1 script. It will check a remote location (configurable via a config file) and do the following tasks:

• check for new service binaries and update the local ones if applicable
• check for a new configuration file for this host and update the local one
• try to restart the service if one of the previous tasks was done

Config File Options

An example config file for the update script is provided as UpdaterConfig-Example.inc.ps1. The values should be mostly self-explaining, so just a few comments here:

• $InstallationPath refers to the local directory where the service executables have been installed, e.g. C:\Tools\AutoTx
• $UpdateSourcePath points to the base directory on a storage location (most likely some UNC path) where the service update files are provided. See the next section for details on the structure therein.

Folder Structure

The $UpdateSourcePath folder structure is expected to be like this:

├─── Configs
│   └─── <HOSTNAME>
│       └─── configuration.xml
└─── Service
    ├─── Binaries
    │   ├─── Latest
    │   └─── build_2018-01-23_11-22-33
    └─── UpdateMarkers
        └─── <HOSTNAME>
