12.6 Postponing downloads and installation as a user

After packages are distributed to a computer, a user can choose to postpone package downloads or software installation. Postponing downloads or installation allows the user to avoid interrupting urgent or important jobs.

Tip

File distribution or uninstallation can also be postponed.

To postpone downloading:

When downloading of the distributed package starts, the icon and balloon hint shown below appear on the task bar of the user computer. However, the display of the balloon hint depends on the settings in the User notification settings view during agent setup.

If you click the icon, a dialog box prompting you to temporarily stop package downloads appears.

To temporarily stop downloading, click the Yes button in the dialog box. Downloading resumes after a certain period of time elapses.

To postpone installation:

If you set the Pre-execution Message to appear when tasks are created, before installation starts, a dialog box appears on the user computer notifying the user of the start of installation.

To postpone software installation, click the Install later button in the dialog box. If you decide to postpone installation, the dialog box reappears after the time specified in the pull-down menu for Notify later elapses. You can select In 10 minutes, In 30 minutes, or In 1 hour as the time after which the dialog box reappears.
