We often get enquiries from our users about why their data doesn’t appear on the web site immediately that they enter it into onCourse. There are a few things to understand here about why it works this way, but I’ll try to keep it fairly non-technical.
Firstly, when you make changes in onCourse, it will take 5-10 minutes for those changes to be sent (replicated) to the web database. This is a periodic process which makes connections from your onCourse Server to the onCourse Web application cluster. If your internet is down, then it will keep trying until the service comes back up again.
