Use IBM Tivoli Device Management Server: Scheduling a software distribution job
Workplace Managed Client includes an Enterprise Management Agent that can be used in conjunction with a Tivoli Device Management Server to install, upgrade, and configure applications running in the WED4WL client. The Agent and Server can also manage other aspects of the client machine, such as installing or upgrading native applications, or manipulating the contents of the Windows registry. This section explains how to use IBM Tivoli Device Management Server to scheduling a software distribution job.
Procedure
- Start and log in to the DM console.
- Select Devices.
- Select Use New Query and Return anything as the search criteria.
- Select OK.
- The DM console will show a list of enrolled devices.
- Select the device or devices to distribute the software package to, then right click and select Submit Job.
- Select Next.
- Select the Job Type as Native Bundle Software Distribution (use default settings for all the other job attributes).
- Select Next.
- Select Add Group.
- Select the registered software package from the list of Available Software.
- Set Auto start to true.
- Select Next.
- Select OK.
- The job has been submitted. Select Close.
Results
The job runs on each targeted client according to the parameters set in its polling configuration. WED4WL must be running for the polling to occur.
You can check the status of the Job at the DM Console:
- Select Jobs in the left hand navigation pane.
- Select Return anything and click OK
- Right click on the Native Bundle Software Distribution job and select View Job Progress...or View Job Progress Summary...
Once the distribution job has completed, the features provided in the update site will have been installed onto the file system on the client. You must stop and restart the client before the new features will be accessible.
