Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Administrator's Guide Volume 2
4.26.17 SCHEDULE (specifying a remote installation schedule)
The SCHEDULE tag specifies remote installation schedules. This tag can be used in the dcmcoll and dcmpack commands.
The following shows the contents of specifiable parameters and the correspondence between parameters and command arguments:
- Organization of this subsection
- (1) Format
- (2) Explanation
(1) Format
SCHEDULE{
expiration_date=package-expiration-date-in-the-relay-system
expiration_days=package-expiration-days-in-the-relay-system
installation_date_and_time=installation-date-and-time
installation_timing=installation-timing
}
(2) Explanation
- expiration_date=package-expiration-date-in-the-relay-system
Specify the retention period for the package in the relay system in the YYMMDD format.
YY: the last two digits of the year (00-35)
MM: month (01-12)
DD: day (01-31)
When it reaches the expiration date specified in this tag, the package stored in the relay system is automatically deleted. Any packages past their expiration dates or falling on their expiration dates that are distributed are deleted on the following day.
In actual operations, packages need to be retained in all the clients under the relay system until the current installation process is completed. For example, if the distribution and installation of a package requires three weeks, an expiration date longer than three weeks should be specified.
The default is the packaging date plus the number of days specified for package-expiration-days-in-the-relay-system for Packager.
- Example:
- Condition 1: Packaging date: August 22, 2001
- Condition 2: Specification of package-expiration-days-in-the-relay-system: ten (days)
- In this case, the date set for this parameter is September 1, 2001.
If you do not specify the value for Packager, the date 90 days after the packaging date is used by default.
- expiration_days=package-expiration-days-in-the-relay-system
Specify the number of days you want to store the package. You can specify 1 to 32,000. If the specified value after conversion falls on a date after December 31, 2035, December 31, 2035 is always used by default.
The specification of the expiration_date parameter overrides the expiration_days parameter if you specify both.
If you specify neither the expiration_days nor the expiration_date parameter, the default of Packager is used. If the default of Packager has not been specified, 90 days after the packaging date is used.
If you specify a value beyond the range of specification, an invalid command value error occurs, and a message is displayed in Event Viewer.
- installation_date_and_time=installation-date-and-time
Specify the date and time of remote installation of the package in the YYMMDDhh:mm format.
YY: the last two digits of the year (00-99)
MM: month (01-12)
DD: day (01-31)
hh: hour (00-23)
mm: minute (00-59)
- installation_timing=installation-timing
For the dcmcoll command, specify the package-installation timing. For the dcmpack command, specify the package installation timing in terms of either S (system startup time) or N (system running). For a command argument, specify either S or N after /t. The default is N (system running).
- S (system startup time)
Collection or installation is performed when the client system is started. If an installation date and time is specified, the package is installed when the system is started for the first time after the specified date and time.
- N (system running)
Collection or installation is when the client system is running. If an installation date and time is specified, the package is installed at the specified date and time. If the client is not started at the specified date and time, the package is installed next time the system is started.
