Public transport systems are prone to unexpected disruptions and delays that affect commuters’ daily schedules. To stay informed about these changes, people can subscribe to government transport update websites or download mobile applications that offer comprehensive information and user-friendly interfaces. These platforms can also offer immediate updates and alerts about the status of routes and schedules.
The transport update process requires a significant amount of funding, and the timeline to complete it varies from community to community. Fortunately, some communities are able to self-fund their long-range transportation plans, which can give them more flexibility in addressing their local transportation needs.
When you perform an upgrade of a managed system, you must provide SUM with a transport buffer file, which contains all the transports in the import queue that you want to integrate into the update procedure. You can use the dialog in phase BIND_PATCH to specify the path and name of this file, and you can define in this dialog whether SUM creates transport profile versions at import time (parameter VERS_AT_IMP). If you select this option, the update procedure takes longer because SUM has to integrate customer transport requests.
Before performing an update, you must put the ESXi host and the compute cluster that contains the Transport Node (TN) into maintenance mode. This is because the update can cause the TN to change its configuration.
