Configuring a DCAL Download Schedule

DCAL Download Schedules prevent unexpected network utilization by controlling when the software packages are delivered to the DCAL server from the Enterprise application server.

  1. In the EMC, select the Enterprise level, click Setup and CAL Packages.
  2. Click the DCAL Download Schedules tab.
  3. Click the Add Download link.
  4. In the Add Download Schedules for Distributed CAL Services dialog, select the CAL Package from the Select CAL Package drop-down list.
  5. Select the properties to receive the scheduled CAL Packages, and then click OK.
  6. Click the ellipsis (...) button in the Download From field, and set a time to download the CAL Package. Leave the Download From field empty to download CAL Packages immediately.

You need to configure Deployment Schedules to deploy CAL Packages to the Service Hosts. Without Deployment Schedules, CAL Packages are stored on the DCAL server and are not deployed to the Service Hosts. Adding a Deployment Schedule for the Current CAL Package contains more information about scheduling CAL Packages to deploy at preset times.
