Relative To Refresh - Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.2 IR2 - ADMINISTRATION GUIDE 09-25-2008 Administration Manual

Use Greenwich Mean Time (GMT): Usually, a schedule is based on the device's local time zone.
If your network spans different time zones and you schedule an application to run at 1:00 p.m., it
runs at 1:00 p.m. in each time zone. This option lets you specify a single time across the globe.
You can, for example, select this option to have bundles deployed or installed on devices at the same
time regardless of their time zones.
Set the "Black Out" Time Ranges when Execution Should Not Occur: Click Add to display the
Specify Black-Out Time Period dialog box. Use the Start/End date and the Start/End time options to
specify the time period in which you do not want the scheduled event run. You can use this option to
minimize network traffic during a certain time period.
B.6 Relative to Refresh
Select the initial delay and repeat frequency to run the scheduled event and set other restrictions that
might apply.
Schedule Execution: Select one of the following options:
Start Immediately on Refresh: Select this option to run the scheduled event when the device
refreshes (looks for new bundles, policies, and so forth). The event runs on the first device
refresh only and does not run on subsequent refreshes. By default, the system global refresh
schedule is every two hours.
To change the default refresh schedule, click the Configuration tab > Device Refresh Schedule.
If the user performs a manual refresh on the device by running the rug ref command, the
scheduled action runs on the first manual refresh only and not on subsequent refreshes (manual
refreshes or global refreshes).
Delay Execution after Refresh: Select this option to run the scheduled event for a specified
number of days, hours, or minutes after the device refreshes (looks for new bundles, policies,
and so forth).
After Executing, Repeat Every: Select this option and specify the number of days, hours, and
minutes after which you want to repeat execution of the scheduled event after a successful
execution.
Set the "Black Out" Time Ranges when Execution Should Not Occur: Click Add to display the
Specify Black-Out Time Period dialog box. Use the Start/End date and the Start/End time options to
specify the time period in which you do not want the scheduled event run. You can use this option to
minimize network traffic during a certain time period.
