Smart Download and Overwrite Options

Smart Download and Overwrite Options

The Download Manager includes options that you can use to define a policy for adding or replacing files in the download directory. Enable the smart download option to update only the databases that you have downloaded previously. Enable the overwrite option to permit the Database Download Manager to overwrite current files in the download directory.
You must verify or set the smart download and overwrite options in the
config.properties
file before you download reference database files.

Smart Download

When you enable the smart download option, the Database Download Manager checks the
downloadhistory.xml
file associated with your user profile and downloads any absent or newer versions of the databases that the file specifies. The Database Download Manager does not download a database on the
downloadhistory.xml
file list if the database is present in the download directory and if a newer version of the database is not available. The smart download option is enabled by default.
When you disable the smart download option, the Database Download Manager client downloads all of the databases that your settings specify, including any previously downloaded database.

Overwrite

When you select the overwrite option, the Database Download Manager can overwrite files in the download directory. The Database Download Manager does not overwrite files in the download directory unless you configure the client to overwrite the files. The overwrite option is disabled by default.
If you enable both smart download and overwrite, the Database Download Manager downloads and overwrites only those files that are listed in the
downloadhistory.xml
file. If you do not enable the overwrite option, the Database Download Manager cannot overwrite any file in the download directory.
