Update Time Series Data Dialog

The Update Time Series Data dialog is used to configure settings for the manual update of time series data from external data sources.

Dialog accessibility and purpose depend on the type of time series database object involved:

Scalar time series databases

The Update Time Series Data dialog is used to configure settings for the manual update of a single data stream or a whole data source.

The dialog is displayed when:

a data stream is right-clicked on the Observed or Forecast page of a Time Series Database and the Update data context menu option is selected, or
a data source is right-clicked on the Data Sources page of a Time Series Database and the Update data context menu option is selected, or
the Update data... button is clicked on the Time Series Data Grid.

When updating from the Time Series Data Grid or the Observed / Forecast page of the Time Series Database, only the currently selected stream will be updated. All streams in a data source are updated when the update is implemented via the Data Sources page of the Time Series Database.

The Update Time Series Data dialog is used to configure settings for the manual update of data streams.

The dialog is displayed when the Update data... button is clicked on the Time Series Data Grid:

Option	Description
Update type	This section allows users to specify the type of update. Get the latest data only- Select this option to perform a latest update (optimistic update). When this option is selected the time zone, lower limit and upper limit controls are disabled (see below). Update data in the specified time range - Enable this option to perform a ranged update (pessimistic update) based on the dates specified in the Lower limit and Upper limit fields. Selecting this option enables the following controls: Time zone – Time zone to use for the time range specified in Lower limit and Upper limit. The default time zone is the machine time zone. Lower limit – Defaulted to the current date and time. Upper limit – Defaults to the current date and time. See Updating Time Series Data for more information.
Perform the update in a background process (recommended)	Enabled by default. When this option is enabled the time series data update will be executed in the background, as a server job. The Schedule Job(s) dialog, where schedule configuration takes place, will be displayed when the OK button is clicked on the Update Time Series Data Dialog. Tip It is recommended that this option is checked as updates can be time-consuming and implementing them in the foreground may prevent users from carrying out other tasks on the computer. IMPORTANT NOTE If Perform the update in a background process is selected, then updating from an "access" external data source can only be done by selecting an agent that has a 32-bit version of InfoWorks ICM installed. If Perform the update in a background process is not selected, then updating from an "access" external data source can only be done in a 32-bit version of InfoWorks ICM. This is due to incompatibility of JET databases with x64 applications.
OK	Commit the changes and close the dialog.
Cancel	Abort the update and close the dialog.
