Profit Update Service

The Profit Update Service ensures that changes in Profit are processed in the website. The Profit Update Service connects the internet and Profit so you can easily create and host your own sites. For this, Profit uses Internet Information Services (IIS) on the application server(s).

This service ensures that the pages that are defined in Profit are actually published on the web server so that they are visible to others. The pages are in fact websites. We recommend you do this on the same server on which you have installed the Profit Application Service, because this means the server is already accessible externally.

After a site has been published in its entirety for the first time, only changes are published. This can lead to pages having a significantly different age.

Note:

It must be possible to open the Profit environment linked to the site in Profit. If that is not the case, the Profit Update Service does not start. First check whether you can open the environment in Profit.
