Web Server Availability
You can start, run and upgrade the Aurea List Manager program independently of the Aurea List Manager Web Server. While the ListManager program is not running, recipients are still able to click on most links and see the pages associated with those links. Also, the Web Server continues to capture data from the following recipient actions:
clickthroughsclickstreamspurchase trackingmember updatesunsubscribesdetect_open / detect_html / detect_both
The data is saved to disk and is processed the next time the Aurea List Manager program runs. Attempts at operations not listed above result in an error screen.
Every time the web server sends a command to the Aurea List Manager program, it checks the versions of each. If they are not the same, the web server views the program as being "not available" and saves data to disk as described above. After the program is upgraded and the versions do match, the data is processed.
- Unsubscribes are not processed immediately. A message is transmitted stating that the unsubscribe is processed shortly; if email notification is requested, an email is sent if the unsubscribe fails or if it succeeds.
- When upgrading ListManager, upgrade the web server first. This ensures that you continue to capture data while the ListManager program is being upgraded.
