Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Description and Planning Guide
Four types of jobs are available for performing remote collection; you should use the type that is appropriate for your network and purpose.
Figure 2-19 Types of remote collection jobs
When you create a Collect files from client job or a Collect files from client to relay system job, you can specify remote collection options, such as the collection time at the client, whether to compress the files, and startup of an external program.
For details about how to set these options, see 5.1.1 Executing remote collection in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.
The following describes each type of job:
This job collects files from a client onto the managing server, via a relay manager/system. You can also use this type of job without using a relay manager/system, as well as to collect files between a client and the relay manager/system, or to collect files between the relay manager/system and the managing server.
On instruction from the managing server, this job collects files and stores the collected files at the relay manager/system connected to the managing server where the job was executed. If the relay manager/system is in a hierarchy of systems, the collected files are stored at the relay manager/system that is directly under the managing server where the job was executed.
You can process or use the collected data at the relay manager/system. You can also transfer all the data to the managing server by executing this job and then an Acquire collected files from relay system job.
This job transfers, to the managing server, files that were collected at the relay manager/system by a Collect files from client to relay system job.
Because remote collection results in a high workload on the network between the relay manager/system and the managing server, you can collect files more efficiently by storing them temporarily at the relay manager/system with a Collect files from client to relay system job, and then later, such as at night when the network traffic is low, transferring them to the managing server by executing this job. Note that when the relay manager/system has a hierarchical structure, even if the relay manager/system that is not directly under the managing server is specified as the job destination, the files are collected from the relay manager/system that is directly under the managing server.
This job deletes files collected at the relay manager/system by a Collect files from client to relay system job. Note that when the relay manager/system has a hierarchical structure, even if the relay manager/system that is not directly under the managing server is specified as the job destination, the files are deleted from the relay manager/system that is directly under the managing server.
