To select the central scheduling modes that the server allows, first complete the following field and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task. Use this function when you set up central scheduling to determine how the clients communicate with the server to begin scheduled work.
Select one of the following settings:
Any | Specifies that 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. |
Polling | Specifies that only the client-polling mode can be used. 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 | Specifies that only the server-prompted mode can be used. 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. |
