Specify a retry count and interval for establishing socket connection. If Packager is installed, the socket connection values specified on this page also apply to the Packager.

Retry count for establishing socket connection

Specify a retry count for establishing a socket connection that is to be used if an error occurs while the client is trying to establish a socket connection with the higher system. The client executes the number of retries you specify in this setting at the interval you specify for Retry interval for establishing socket connection. Specify the retry count in the range from 0 to 100. The default is 0. When 0 is specified, no retries are attempted. If you upgrade the program, the retry count for the previous version is inherited as the default value.

Retry interval for establishing socket connection

Specify the retry interval for establishing a socket connection that is to be used if an error occurs while the client is trying to establish a socket connection with the higher system. The client executes the number of retries you specify for Retry count for establishing socket connection at the interval you specify here. Specify the retry interval in the range from 1 to 1,800 seconds. The default is 3 seconds.

Specify a retry count and retry interval to be used if a communication error occurs during file transmission from the higher system to the client.

When a retry is executed, the system restarts file transmission from the file that was being transferred when the previous file transmission was interrupted. This item enables you to reduce the volume of unnecessary communication, because the system does not retransmit files that were transmitted before the communication error occurred.

The retry count and interval specified here are applicable to unicast distribution.

Number of times to retry transmission

Specify the number of retries to be executed if a communication error occurs during file transmission. The system executes the number of retries you specify in this setting at the interval you specify for Retry interval. Specify the number of retries in the range from 0 to 999. The default is 5 times. The default value may depend on the network environment.

Retry interval

Specify the retry interval for retries to be executed if a communication error occurs during file transmission. The system executes the number of retries you specify for Number of times to retry transmission at the interval you specify here. Specify the retry interval in the range from 1 to 7,200 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.

Select whether or not the client is to resend results files that could not be sent to the higher system. The default is that the Resend the remaining installation result files check box is selected.

Resend the remaining installation result files

When this option is selected, the client monitors whether there are results files that it has not sent to the higher system and sends any that it finds. You can specify a retry count and retry interval.

Maximum retry count

Select the retry count from the following two choices. The client executes the number of retries you specify here at the interval you specify for Retry interval.

- Unlimited

- Specified

The default is Specified. When you select Specified, you can specify a retry count in the range from 1 to 300. The default is 10 for setup of client facilities for JP1/Software Distribution Manager or JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system), and 2 for setup of JP1/Software Distribution Client (client) and creation of setup information in an installation set.

Retry interval

Specify the retry interval. The permitted value range is from 60 to 3,600 seconds. The default is 300 seconds for setup of client facilities for JP1/Software Distribution Manager or JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system).

For setup of JP1/Software Distribution Client (client) and the settings in an installation set, the value is 1,800 seconds.

For the retry interval, specify a value based on system requirements. For example, specify a low value for systems that check security, since information from the client is required immediately.
