UPDATING YOUR DATABASE
There are two methods for manually updating the database from the flat files that are created by the
Monitor. You can set up a scheduled event (see "Database Update" on page 143), or you can perform a
manual update with the Database Updater tool.
To perform a Manual Database Update:
1 Stop the Web Filter service.
2 From the Web Filter Manager, select Maintenance > Database Updater from the appropriate
database in the Navigation tree or select Start > All Programs > SurfControl Web Filter > Database
Tools > Database Updater. The Database Updater dialog is displayed.
3 Click Add to select a flat file. The default location for flat files is: C:\Program Files\SurfControl\Web
Filter\TMP
:
4 Click Open Database. You will see the Select Database dialog box showing the default database:
5 Click OK to update this database. If you wish to update another database click Connect to SQL
Database.
Caution: The Database Updater Tool will not run if the Web Filter service is running and
Monitor to Database is set to Automatic.
