20.1.6 Stage Timeout Settings
Deployment stages are optional; however, stages allow you to deploy an update one step at a time,
such as to a test group first, then to your managed devices. If a failure occurs during the update
process, the process is halted.
E-mail notifications
can let you know when each stage has completed.
The global default timeout setting is 3 days. This provides the same timeout length for each stage.
For information about setting the timeout for individual stages, see
“Modifying the Stage Timeout”
on page 185
.
Set this value to be long enough to accommodate updating all of the devices you plan to update.
When the timeout value is reached, the stage’s deployment stops and an e-mail message is sent, if e-
mail notification is configured. You can cancel the deployment, or you can clear the error to restart
the stage and reset the timeout. Or, you can ignore all pending devices to trigger a stage progression
(either automatic, or wait for administrator action based on the setting).
You can use
E-mail notification
to know when a stage has completed.
To configure global stage timeout settings:
1
In ZENworks Control Center, click
Configuration
in the left pane.
2
On the
Configuration
tab, expand the
Management Zone Settings
panel (if necessary), click
