Manually Update the GeoDB

Use this procedure to perform an on-demand GeoDB update.

Before you begin

Procedure

1

Choose System (system gear icon) > Content Updates > Geolocation Updates.

2

Under One-Time Geolocation Update, choose how you want to update the GeoDB.

  • Direct download: Choose Download and install....

  • Manual upload: Choose Upload and install..., then click Choose File and browse to the package you downloaded earlier.

3

Click Import.

Monitor update progress in the Message Center.

4

Verify update success.

The GeoDB update page shows the current version.

What to do next

If the update adds a new country (this is rare), deploy now. Until you deploy, the new country does not count as part of its continent. For example, if an update adds Country to Continent, rules that filter based on "Continent" do not match traffic through Country until you deploy.
