Use the HPCA Administrator CSDB Editor to show the subscriber that an application has a high priority or to display an additional message. An Application (ZSERVICE) Instance can be set to normal or high priority. An exclamation point ( ! ) denotes that an application is high priority.
Note: If you are using HPCA Application Self-Service Manager with the HPCA System Tray to manage a high priority service and an alert condition arises, the alert bubble will “pop” and the message is displayed in the status bubble of the System Tray icon.
When an application is deployed, an administrator can—based on the network threshold, the data-download size, a date setting, or a deferral count—have a deferral message displayed. When an application has data that needs to be downloaded to the HPCA agent computer, the HPCA agent will check whether the application is configured for deferral. If it is, the Application Self-Service Manager checks the current bandwidth setting against the administrator-specified bandwidth threshold setting. A deferral message, asking whether the subscriber wants to defer the deployment, is displayed if:
Or
An HPCA administrator can configure “number-of-occurrences” and “last-deferral-date” application-deferral limits. If the number of deferrals or the deferral date is reached, the application is installed or updated without displaying a deferral message.
An HPCA administrator can also configure a “minimum-byte-count” limit on which to alert. If the size of the data is less than the minimum byte count, the alert panel is skipped.
If an application has been configured for a deferral and all of the requirements that are listed below are met, the HPCA agent displays the deferral message.

If these requirements are met and you are using the Application Self-Service Manager, the deferral message is displayed to the user. Who can then choose to defer the action or continue with it.
If the user does not respond to the defer/continue, the action that is identified in the DA attribute is taken. For information on DA attribute, see DA .
