test mode

Avira IUM - Server Settings - General - Updates: Activate test mode

new files are downloaded to a special test directory (
Test products
), hosted by a
second HTTP server. Here they are waiting for approval. When the new files are
validated (
Released products
), they can be committed to the default HTTP server
for enterprise deployment (right-click on
Test products
and select
Commit
products
).
You can assign groups or individual computers to update from the test servers.
If you are in test mode and want to update via IUM, please commit the files before
update. Otherwise you will not be able to update the SMC Server and Frontend
afterwards.
