To select the central scheduling modes that the server allows for clients, first complete the following field and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.
Select the central scheduling modes that determine how the clients communicate with the server.
Any | The server allows clients to run in either the client-polling or the server-prompted scheduling mode. Each client must be configured to select the scheduling mode in which it operates. The default is Any. |
Polling | The server allows clients to run in the client-polling mode. Client nodes poll the server at prescribed time intervals to obtain scheduled work. If you select this mode, configure each client to use the client-polling mode. |
Prompted | The server allows clients to run in only the server-prompted mode. This mode is only available for clients that communicate with TCP/IP. Client nodes wait to be contacted by the server when scheduled work needs to be performed and a session is available. If you select this mode, configure each client to use the server-prompted mode. |
