 +===== Modify "App Store Connect" Update Check Schedule =====
 +
 +By default, App Store Connect automatically updates when new software packages are available. This results in short periods of downtime.
 +
 +Updates are usually ((Stable packages may be released outside usual deployment schedules if urgent. Pre-release packages may be deployed at any time.)) deployed on Fridays during UK business hours. If this is not convenient, update checks can be rescheduled as follows:
 +
 + 1. In Windows Services, stop **Intelligent Plant Data Core Service**.
 +
 + 2. Open configuration file (with an editor that has administrative privileges): ''%ProgramFiles%\Intelligent Plant\Data Core\DataCore.ApplicationHost.exe.config''.
 + 
 + 3. Modify app settings for ''checkForUpdatesSchedule'' and ''checkForUpdatesOnStartup'':
 +
 +<code>
 +<add key="applicationHostEngine.checkForUpdatesSchedule" value="0 0 12 ? * SAT *" />
 +<add key="applicationHostEngine.checkForUpdatesOnStartup" value="false" />
 +</code>
 +
 +The schedule is specified as a [[http://www.cronmaker.com/|CRON]] schedule (for example, "0 0 12 ? * SAT *" checks for updates every Saturdays at midday).
 +      
 + 4. In Windows Services, restart **Intelligent Plant Data Core Service**.
 +
 +
 +
 +===== Disable "App Store Connect" Automatic Updates =====
 +
 +To disable automatic updates altogether (not recommended):
 +
 + 1. In Windows Services, stop **Intelligent Plant Data Core Service**.
 +
 + 2. Open configuration file (with an editor that has administrative privileges): ''%ProgramData%\Intelligent Plant\Data Core Application Host\Service\Data\Data Core Application Host.DataStoreApplicationManager.Applications.data''.
 +    
 + 3. Modify ''AutoUpdate'' setting:
 +    
 +<code> "AutoUpdate": false, </code>
 +    
 + 4. In Windows Services, restart **Intelligent Plant Data Core Service**.
