Configuring the Deployment Schedule to Install the Simphony Client on Workstations

When a hotfix is added to the CAL deployment schedule, the system automatically deploys the major Simphony version (for example, 18.2.0.0) first, followed by the hotfix.

When using Distributed CAL (DCAL), you must add both the major version and the hotfix to the DCAL download schedule. After the download occurs, it is made available in the DCAL server. Then you can schedule the POS client update.

1. Select the Enterprise, click Setup, and then click CAL Packages.
2. If you are using Simphony 18.2 or 18.2.1, select Service Host Prereqs from the left pane.

   If you are using Simphony 18.2.2, skip this step. You need to deploy the CAL Client and then the Service Host Download. Oracle recommends that you schedule the CAL Client and the Service Host Download separately at different dates or times. When scheduled independently of the CAL client package, the Service Host Download occurs silently in the background to avoid end user interruption. If you schedule the CAL client package and the Service Host Download package to run at the same time, the Service Host Download does not run in the background.

3. Click the Deployment Schedule tab, and then click Add Deployment.
4. In the Choose CAL package to upload dialog, select 2 - Specific Service Host as the Deployment Type, click the ellipsis (...) point button adjacent to the drop-down list, select the appropriate workstation, and then click OK.
5. Click OK to close the Choose CAL package to upload dialog.
6. In the Action To Take column, select 0 - Install, and then click Save.
7. Select CAL Client from the left pane, and then repeat Steps 4 through 7.
8. (Simphony 18.2.2 only) Select Service Host Download from the left pane, and then repeat Steps 4 through 7.
9. Select Service Host from the left pane, and then repeat Steps 4 through 7.
