Difference between Schedule Automatic Search and
Schedule Repository Search
Both Schedule Repository Search and Schedule Automatic Search assist with identifying newer updates by searching on a
scheduled cadence that you determine. When new updates are identified, an email notification is generated and the updates are
placed into a repository.
Schedule Repository Search:
Schedule Repository Search, searches for only updates that are newer than what you have in the selected Repository. When
new updates are identified, an email notification can be sent. If the option to replace old files with new files is selected, then the
old file is replaced in the respective bundles of the repository, and an archive bundle is created so you have access to the older
files if they are needed.
Schedule Automatic Search:
Schedule Automatic Search provides a means of identifying updates; however the search results is based upon a range of
filters. When new updates are identified, they are placed in a new repository, from there they can be moved into another
repository and related bundle. Schedule Automatic Search allows for the identification of files that are in non-DUP format.
