The Download Manager enables you to configure the Sentinel Rapid Deployment server for automated download and processing of the downloaded files at fixed intervals. After the files are downloaded, the Download Manager notifies the Sentinel processes to process the downloaded feed and then loads the processed files to the Sentinel database.
For example, you can configure the Sentinel Rapid Deployment server to download the Advisor feed at fixed intervals. After the feed is downloaded, the Download Manager notifies the Advisor processes to process the downloaded feed and load it into the Sentinel database. However, for Advisor, you must purchase an additional license from Novell to download the updated Advisor feed.
