[CA ARCserve D2D]
Date=0 Time=0 [Staging server #1] Server name = stgsvr1 Server port = 8014 [Staging server #2] Server name = stgsvr2 Server port = 8014
Download Server:
0 = Download server will contact the CA Technologies server directly for updates. (Default value)
1 = Download server will contact the specified staging server for updates.
Name or IP address of the staging server that will be used (only if ServerType is set to 1).
CA ARCserve D2D On Demand only supports HTTP communication protocol.
Port number used for communication. By default this is set to 80.
Displays total number of configured staging servers.
Schedule:
0 = Automatic check for updates is disabled. Check for updates must be triggered manually.
1 = Automatic check for updates is enabled. Check for updates will be triggered automatically as scheduled. (Default value)
0 = Automatic download is disabled. The download must be triggered manually.
1 = Automatic download is enabled. Download will be coordinated with check for updates and automatically triggered when a new update is determined. (Default value)
0 = Active update is enabled. Automatic check for updates and download functions are enabled. (Default value)
1 = Active update is disabled. Check for updates and download functions must be triggered manually.
Scheduled day of the week that the automatic check for updates will be performed:
0 = every day
1 = Sunday
2 = Monday
3 = Tuesday
4 = Wednesday
5 = Thursday
6 = Friday
7 = Saturday
Note: Since there is no default setting for the day or hour that these checks will be automatically performed, CA ARCserve D2D On Demand will randomly assign these values at the time of installation.
Scheduled time of the specified "WeekDay" day that the automatic check for updates will be performed (in 24-hour time settings).
ProxySettings:
0 = No proxy is required. Instead the client server will connect directly to the CA Technologies server to obtain update information.
1 = Use the provided proxy server settings. If you select this option, you must also include the IP address (or machine name) of the proxy server and the corresponding port number that is used by the proxy server for internet connections.
0 = proxy server does not require authentication.
1 = proxy server requires authentication information (which enables User ID and Password fields).
Proxy server name (or IP address) will be entered and stored here.
Port number used by the proxy server for internet connections. (Only numbers will be accepted).
DOWNLOADCONFIG:
Number of times CA ARCserve D2D On Demand will attempt to download a new update. If after a specified number of retry attempts, the download still cannot continue, an error message will be displayed indicating the most likely reason for the failure.
RetryCount range is: 1 - 5
Default value = 3
Time (in minutes) that CA ARCserve D2D On Demand will wait between retry attempts to download a new update.
Default value = 60 minutes
Number of packets downloaded from CA Technologies support server to your client server during each transfer, with each packet size at 1KB. The available range is 4 to 64 packets.
Default value = 16 packets
Note: During download, CA ARCserve D2D On Demand divides the update file into individual (PacketCount) 1KB chunks, which are then efficiently routed over the internet and reassembled into the original file at the destination.
Debug:
Level of details to include in the debug log. A higher debug level value means more detailed information will be included in the debug log. The available range is 0 to 4.
Default value = 3
Size (in MB) of the debug log file.
Default value = 10 MB
D2DUpdates:
Path location for downloaded updates.
Default path = <ProductHome>\D2DUpdates
Important! The path of the download directory should always have a "D2DUpdates" folder at the end (for example: "C:\Test\D2DUpdates"). If this path is changed, then you must also manually update the docBase value to include this changed path. The docBase parameter is located in the following file "<ProductHome>\TOMCAT\conf\server.xml" and can be changed by stopping the web service. This is mandatory otherwise other CA ARCserve D2D On Demand machines cannot access this CA ARCserve D2D On Demand machine as a staging server.
CA ARCserve D2D:
Displays the last modified date and time of the available update information file (AvailableUpdateInfoDll_x86.dll / AvailableUpdateInfoDll_x64.dll) that has been downloaded from the CA Technologies server to your client server. (After the first check, these date and time values will become reference points for future checks to determine if the file has changed).
When triggered, CA ARCserve D2D On Demand will check the date and time values of the available patch information file from the CA Technologies server to determine if it has been modified since the last check. If the values have changed, the latest file will be downloaded from the site and the date and time values in this configuration file will be updated to display the new information.
Date format = yyyymmdd
Time format = hhmmss
Server name =
Server port =
This section displays all the configured staging servers (server name and port) in the order which they are configured as download servers in the Updates Preferences dialog.
The first listed server will be designated as the primary staging server. CA ARCserve D2D On Demand will initially attempt to connect to the primary staging server. If for any reason the first listed server is not available, then the next listed server will become the primary staging server. The same sequence will be continued until the last listed server becomes the primary staging server. (The staging server list is limited to the maximum of 5 servers).
