The following table describes each configuration property you can modify for Update Manager.

Update Manager caches fixes in its file system. By default, cached fixes are deleted each time you start Update Manager. To keep fixes in the cache, specify the number of days to keep the fixes.

The default is DEBUG. Software AG recommends not changing this level so that you will have the maximum amount of information in case of problems.

*ON - If a new release is available, Update Manager will automatically update itself.

Note:
If a fix requires the latest release of Update Manager, and you respond no to this prompt, you will not be able to install the fix.
