If you are using the online installer, the Download Manager indicates the
progress of the file download from the Websense website. After the files
are downloaded, the installer stops all Websense services.
An installation progress bar appears and the Websense services are
restarted.
Master Database Download: The installer asks if you want to
download the Websense Master Database now or at a later time using
Websense Manager. Select a database download option and then
select Next to continue.
If you have chosen to download the Master Database now, the
download begins. The database must first be downloaded from the
internet, and then decompressed and loaded into local memory.
Downloading the database from the internet can take a few minutes or
more than 30 minutes, depending on factors such as internet
connectivity, bandwidth, time of day, and your location relative to the
download server. Decompressing and loading the database can take a
few minutes or more than 30 minutes, depending on factors such as
available memory, free disk space, and server process utilization.
When the database has finished loading, a message appears advising
you of the status of the download. Select Next to continue.
Warning
During upgrade, the installer removes the existing Master
Database. Websense filtering cannot resume until the new
Master Database has been successfully downloaded,
decompressed, and loaded. This may take a few minutes or
more than 60 minutes, depending on factors such as
internet connection speed, bandwidth, available memory,
and free disk space.
