Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Client Description and User's Guide

2.4.4 Checking for a distribution job at the client workstation

When the client workstation starts, JP1/Software Distribution Client (distribution-destination system) automatically executes the rdsrf -a command to check whether there is a distribution job from the relay system.

If there is a distribution job, the package is distributed to the client workstation according to the contents of the job. When the distribution process is executed, the program name of the distributed package is output to the log file.

If no distribution job is found, monitoring for jobs continues. Monitoring is retried at the time interval specified in WatchTimeofOrders of the settings file.

If an error occurs during processing of multiple distribution jobs for the local UNIX machine, one of the following will occur:

• If an error occurs during installation
  That distribution process is canceled, and the processing of another distribution job is executed.
  
• If an error occurs during communication with the managing server
  All the processes are canceled immediately.
  

To stop the package distribution that was started with the rdsrf -a command, execute the rdsrf -q command. To resume distribution after a stop, execute the rdsrf -a command again.
