29.1.1 Manually Configuring the Web Service Timeout
Advanced Content Replication Setting
You can adjust the Web Service Timeout value to suit your needs. For example, if a Satellite device
is across a slow WAN link and there is missing content, the default 30-second timeout value might
not be long enough to make the Web service call.
To modify the Web Service Timeout on a Satellite device:
For Windows, create the following string value in the registry on the Satellite device:
HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\Zenworks\CDPWebCallWaitTimeout
and set the
value to the desired number of milliseconds.
For Linux, in the
/etc/opt/novell/zenworks/conf/xplatzmd.properties
file on the Satellite
device, add the following line:
CDPWebCallWaitTimeout=
xxx
where
xxx
is the desired timeout value in milliseconds.
29.2 Replicating Content to New Content Servers
By default, when a new content server (ZENworks Server or Satellite devices) is added to the zone,
all bundle and policy content is replicated to that content server. You can, however, choose not to
replicate a specific bundle or content policy.
For example, assume that you have a bundle for Microsoft* Office. You’ve included it on specific
content servers and don’t want it replicated to additional servers. To keep this from happening, you
modify the Microsoft Office bundle’s replication settings to exclude replication to new content
servers.
