Modify Remote File Distribution Job
This window allows you to modify a remote file distribution job.
the window contains the following fields.
Job name
This read-only field specifies the name of the remote file distribution
job.
Description
Use this field to give a brief description of the job. This is used
along with the name to help identify jobs in the status logs.
Install to Hosts
You can use this field to limit which hosts will be accessed during
the job. Leave a blank space between host names for multiple
entries. You can also click on the arrow button to the right to pop
up a pick list of all hosts in the current pool with the selected
O/S type(s) and make your selection(s) from there.
Target Directory
Use this field to specify the name of the directory where the files
should be copied.
Windows style paths may also be entered, e.g. c:\users\charlie.
However, this path will be converted to //c/users/charlie on any
UNIX platform that is in the current hostnames selection field or
in the current pool. This can be changed by entering two paths.
The following examples show valid entries:
c:\users\charlie|/home/charlie
/home/charlie|c:\users\charlie
/home/charlie|\users\charlie
The symbol '|' is the pathname delimiter. Only one can occur in the
field. Each individual pathname must not contain both '/' and '\'.
A zero length pathname is an error condtion.
Min. Disk
You can use this field to define the minimum amount of free disk
space the partition containing the target directory must have before
this remote file distribution job will execute. You can specify the
units in bytes or Kbytes.
Pre-Install Script
You can use this field to specify any scripts or programs which
should be executed on the destination hosts before transferring the
files. Enter the full pathname to the script and, optionally, an
input data file name. Multiple scripts should be separated by
semi-colons. This is not supported on NT.
Directory
You can use this field to specify the directory where the
Pre-Install Script will be put and then run.
Post-Install Script
You can use this field to specify any scripts or programs which
should be executed on the destination hosts after the files are
transferred. Enter the full pathname to the script and, optionally,
an input data file name. Multiple scripts should be separated by
semi-colons. This is not supported on NT.
Directory
You can use this field to specify the directory where the
Post-Install Script will be put and then run.
Source Directory
You can use this field to specify the directory where this job will
be started on the local host.
Number of Retries
Use this field to choose how many times a remote copy to a given
host should be attempted before the copy operation fails. This can
be 0 (the default) through 5 times.
Rollback on
You can use this toggle to select if the copied files should be
removed (or not) from the receiving hosts when an error occurs
during the remote copy process. The choices are to remove the copied
files from:
+ Ignore Errors (the default; no copied files are removed)
+ Failed Hosts Only (remove copies from failed hosts only)
+ All Hosts (if one host fails, remove copies from all hosts)
Overwrite Files
Use this toggle to specify if existing files in the destination
directory should be overwritten by the new files being copied AND if
new directories should be created as needed during the distribution
job. The default is Yes.
Use Relay Host
Use this toggle to specify if this distribution of files should be
broadcast to any Relay Hosts for distribution to hosts on other
sub-nets. The default is No.
If you set this to Yes, you should also specify the Broadcast Relay
Hosts in the Session Preferences window. See "CONFIGURE" on page 2-1
for more details.
Distribution Files
This field is an editable scrolled list. You can click in this list
once to activate it and then type in the full pathname of the files
you want to be copied to other hosts.
Time of RFD Job
You can use this field, along with the Schedule Type field, to
schedule when a file distribution should be executed. See "TIME
FORMATS" on page C-1 for details on specifying this value.
Schedule Type
Use this toggle to specify how and when the file distribution will
occur. The choices are:
+ Weekly When you click on this option, the days of the week will be
displayed. Select the days of the week the file distribution should
occur. The Time of RFD job field should contain the time of day the
file distribution will occur.
+ Manual This is the default setting. You can run this type of job
by clicking on the Execute Now button.
+ Monthly When you click on this option, the days of the month will
be displayed. Select the days of the month the file distribution
should occur. The Time of RFD job field should contain the time of
