Specify a retry count and retry interval to be applied if an error occurs during remote installation or remote collection on user programs and data.

Maximum retry count

Specify the value in the range from 0 to 100. The default is 10. If 0 is specified, no retries are attempted.

Retry interval

Specify the value in the range from 0 to 3,600 seconds. The default is 1 second. If 0 is specified, retries occur immediately one after another without any interval.

If you select the Split package and then distribute check box and a distributed package is larger than the size specified here, the package is split into increments of the specified size and then distributed. During split package distribution, if the split size at the distribution source is greater than the size specified here, the package is further split into those size increments and then distributed. Specify this option if you wish to reduce the network load. The default is that this check box is selected.

When this check box is cleared, split package distribution will not take place even if split distribution has been specified for packages.

Split size

Specify the size into which packages are to be split. When split package distribution is executed, the system compares the value you specify here with the size of a package that is to be distributed and divides the package as appropriate. The permitted value range is shown below. The default is 2,097,151 KB.

• Specifying in kilobytes: 1 to 2,097,151
• Specifying in megabytes: 1 to 2,047

The split size applies to each package transferred. If multiple packages are transferred in the batch mode and the size of each package is no greater than the specified split size, split package distribution does not occur.

Distribution interval

Specify a rest time between transfers when split package distribution is executed. Specify the value in the range from 1 to 24 hours. The default is 1 hour.

The split sizes for the distribution source and the distribution destination are compared, and the distribution interval for the side at which the smaller split size is specified takes effect. If the split sizes are the same, the distribution interval for the distribution destination is used.

Select whether or not the client is to check the available disk space in the local system before it downloads a package during remote installation. The client reports an error to the higher system if the required disk space is not available in the local system. The default is that this check box is selected.

Select this item to delete package information for the system to which the client was previously connected whenever the connection destination system is changed in the setup. The default is that this check box is selected. In systems where the user frequently changes the connection destination system, the amount of stored package information may fill up the available hard disk space. For this reason, you can set the client to delete package information for the previous connection destination system.

If the client is connected to multiple systems, package information for systems that have been specified as connection destination systems is not deleted even if this check box is selected.

Note that this item is displayed but cannot be specified during setup of client facilities for JP1/Software Distribution Manager or JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system).

If an attempt to overwrite a package results in an error, this option specifies whether or not information about the installed package, which was to be overwritten, is to be stored. The default is that this check box is cleared. If you wish to set software conditions when a package is installed, select this check box.

• When the check box is cleared
  In the event of an error, information about the installed package that is to be overwritten is deleted. This is because normal operation of the installed package (software) can no longer be guaranteed if an error occurs during overwrite installation.
  If an error has occurred and the package information has been deleted, you can no longer install the package with the software conditions set. The Package Setup Manager places the package that had been installed in uninstalled status.
  If an overwrite installation attempt results in an error while this check box is cleared, you can no longer install the package with the version or generation number of the deleted package set as the software conditions. To install the package, execute the following procedure:
  
  1. Select the Maintain the installation history in case an error occurs during installation of the package check box.
  2. Restart the client.
  3. Re-install the package that had been installed (whose information was deleted) without setting the software conditions.
  4. Set the software conditions and install the package.
• When the check box is selected
  Information about the package that had been installed and that was to be overwritten remains stored even after the error. Therefore, you can still install the package with the software conditions set. In this case, the status of the installed package does not change on the Package Setup Manager.
  If the check box is selected and an overwrite installation attempt without the software conditions set results in an error then, when you re-install the package, select the Replace existing package check box that is on the System Conditions page of the Change Installation Conditions dialog box.
  

You can select whether or not the client is to delete the Work directories for installing Hitachi products (NETMDMWK directory) after Hitachi products have been installed. To delete the work directory, select this check box. The default is that this check box is selected.

You should note the following items:

• You cannot select this option if you are creating setup information in an installation set.
• In the case of Windows NT, you must set Read, Write, and Delete access permissions for the created drive. If these access permissions are not set, installation of Hitachi program products will fail.
• Even if you set this option, the NETMDMWK directory may still remain after installation. In such a case, the directory is deleted the next time the PC is restarted or at the next polling.

Specify the maximum wait time for a response from InstallShield after remote installation of Hitachi program products. If InstallShield does not respond before the specified amount of time elapses, the client reports an error to the higher system. Specify the value in the range from 180 to 7,200 seconds. The default is 1,800.
