Updating Container Deployments
You can update deployed Containers without needing to restart the Intelligent Process Server. This is useful in cases where the Business rule changes cause new versions of packages to be provisioned.

The Container Info screen allows you to see the endpoint for the Container (for example, http://localhost:8080/kie-server/services/rest/server). You can also either manually or automatically refresh the Container if an update is available.
- Manual Update: To manually update a provision, enter the new Version number in the Version box and click . You can update the Group Id or the Artifact Id, if these have changed as well.
- Automatic Update: If you want a deployed Container to always have the latest version of your deployment without manually editing it, you need to set the Version property to the value of
LATESTand start a Scanner. This will ensure that the deployed provision always contains the latest version. The Scanner can be started on demand by clicking or you can start it in the background with scans happening at a specified interval (in seconds).You can also set this value toLATESTwhen you are first creating this deployment.The Resolved Release Id will show you the actual, latest version number. Note that if the Resolved Release Id is empty, this is an issue not influencing the functionality of the upgrade feature.
