Schedules tab in Deployment management
Use the Schedules tab in Deployment management for the following tasks:
To view a summary of all schedules within that policy.
To create a new schedule.
To edit or delete an existing schedule.
The schedules that are defined on the Schedules tab determine when VxUpdate occur for the selected deployment policy. The calendar displays a summary of all the schedules.
The Schedules tab contains both schedule information and other configuration options, beyond when the job is to run.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Enter a name for the new schedule. |
Operation | Specify the type of operation that you want to associate with the schedule. Precheck - Performs the various precheck operations, including confirming there is sufficient space on the client for the update. The precheck schedule type does not exist for EEB packages. Stage - Moves the update package to the client, but does not install it. This operation also performs the precheck operation. Install - Installs the specified package. This operation also performs the precheck and the stage package operations. If you already performed the stage package operation, the install schedule does not move the package again. Note: Be aware that adding multiple different schedule types to the same deployment schedule window has unpredictable results. VxUpdate has no defined behavior to determine which schedule type runs first. If a single deployment schedule window has precheck, stage, and install jobs, there is no way to specify the order in which they run. The precheck or the stage schedules can fail, but the install completes successfully. If you plan to use precheck, stage, and install schedules, it is recommended that you create separate schedules and separate windows for each. |
Start date | Specify the date and time you want the policy to start in the text field or with the date and the time spinner. You can also click the calendar icon and specify a date and time in the resulting window. You can select a schedule by clicking and dragging over the three-month calendar that is provided at the bottom of the window. |
End date | Specify the date and time you want the policy to end as you specified the start time. |
