Schedule

Specify a schedule.

  • Immediately: Select this option to perform the processing as soon as settings in the wizard are complete.

  • Specific date and time: Specify the date and time when processing is to be executed.

    Specify a date and time that is later than the current date and time on the admin server.

Script registration

Specify the scripts to be executed before and after patch distribution/application, as well as the behavior of patch application processing if an error occurs during script execution.

Create the scripts registered here so that they output "0" as a return value to indicate normal completion and a value other than "0" as a return value to indicate an error.

For the script to be registered, specify the full path to the file that is stored on the local machine where the browser is running.

  • Confirm: If an error occurs, the user can select the appropriate script processing (such as "retry", "continue processing", or "cancel processing") from the Task management window.

  • Continue: Processing will continue even if an error occurs.

  • Refer to "4.2.6.1 Pre-execution and Post-execution Scripts" for information on the scripts that are registered here.

Reboot after application

Select whether to restart the server after the patch is distributed and applied.

  • Yes

    The behavior varies depending on the patch type, as follows:

    • OS patches

      The server will only be restarted for those patches that need to have the server restarted.

    • Fujitsu middleware patches

      The server will be restarted without fail.

  • No

The server will not be restarted.
