1.3.3 Conditions for using JP1/Software Distribution Client

When using JP1/Software Distribution Client, note the following:

Cautions when using on HP-UX

When using JP1/Software Distribution Client under HP-UX, avoid using large user IDs and large files.

Using with Software Distribution/Workstation or JP1/Software Distribution/Workstation

You cannot use JP1/Software Distribution Client if you also install a program (Software Distribution Workstation or JP1/Software Distribution Workstation) of an older-version relay system or distribution-destination system on the same machine.

There is no need to delete JP1/Software Distribution Workstation when upgrading to JP1/Software Distribution Client. Note, however, that the installation log will remain in the system. Additionally, when setting up a function unique to JP1/Software Distribution Client, reset its details following setup.

Free space required for startup

At least 5 megabytes of hard disk space is required to start JP1/Software Distribution Client.

Distribution destination specification methods

When specifying the distribution destination of the relay system, do not mix the distribution-destination name with the IP address specification. You can only specify one distribution-destination using either a distribution-destination name or IP address.

Changing system time
You can change the system time when starting or stopping the system. Note that changing the system time may cause the following problems.

A job with the date and time specified is executed at an unexpected time.

When the system time is rolled back, a job with the date and time specified is executed twice.

It becomes difficult to analyze the causes of failure because the log output times will deviate.

If a job is created after the system time is rolled back, a registered job may be overwritten. Wait for the time of the roll back to pass before creating a job.

Upgrading from a Version 8 or older product

Before upgrading from a Version 8 or older product to JP1/Software Distribution Client, first delete the software information in the managing server.
