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.
