Auto retry on software deployment

[mcc388]

Hi Doug

I am trying to use BP to deploy a software onto a collection of computers in my AD, wondering if there is a way to set the deployment to retry on the failed ones automatically?

Jeffrey – If there is a failure, what would be the purpose of auto-retrying? Wouldn’t it just fail again until you address the reason for the failure? Or are you talking about in cases where you try to deploy to a computer that is not online? And so you want it to auto-retry again when the computer is online? In this case I would suggest two options:

–You could create a scheduled task and check the box ‘Run task immediately upon detecting the computer online’ This option would not run the deployment until BP first detects the computer is online.

–You could create a job queue that looks uses ‘Wait for host to be detected online’ right before the execution of the deployment. This would have the same effect as the above mentioned method. Just make sure in this case to modify the ‘Global timeout for host offline/online detection’ in the Job Queue window to a value that works for your needs.

I hope this helps. If you think there is still a need for an auto-retry option, could you explain why this would be helpful? Then we can evaluate the possibility of adding it to a future version.

Thanks,

Doug
