Transfer Window

The transfer window functionality manages the list of allowed or disallowed hourly 'slots' and thus provide a simple lookup service for the agents to know at which time they can use any of its network connections to communicate with other agents.

Each transfer window consists of information about network usage for every hour of the week, starting from 0:00 on Monday all the way to 23:00 on the following Sunday. As such the window does not, and cannot, control network traffic based on anything such as predefined calendar dates or times. As an example, the setting configured for the 8:00 slot on Wednesday controls network communication between 8:00 and 8:59:59 for every Wednesday regardless of date. A transfer window authorizes, for example, the transfer of the package to the client, but does not execute it, and it might have more than one client. However, a device cannot be assigned to more than one transfer window of the same type.

Transfer windows also define if a file transfer is executed as unicast, that is, if the file is sent directly and individually to each target client, or if the delivery is executed via a multicast. For more detailed technical information about this delivery mode refer to Multicast Software Delivery . The parameters for the multicast transfer are defined in the configuration file of the FileStore module, which deals with all data transfers of the BMC Client Management . You will find details on these in the File Store module parameters topic.
