Variables in the ALERTDEF ClassVariable
| Description
|
---|
ALERTMSG
| An exclamation point (!) preceding “Service Alert Message” denotes a high priority message.
|
DM
| Alert Mode
The type of activity for which a deferral alert is triggered.
- Set to
I for Installations. - Set to
U for Updates. - Set to
B (the default) for Both (installations and updates).
|
DN
| The maximum number of deferrals that is allowed before the DA (Deferral Action) action is taken. The default is 0.
|
DT
| The network bandwidth threshold, in bytes. The current network speed must be less than this value to meet the deferral requirement. The default is 86000.
|
DBT
| The minimum cumulative size (in bytes) of the files that are being downloaded on a slow network and which triggers the deferral. The default is 50000.
A deferral is triggered if the network speed is slower than the Network Threshold (DT) value AND the cumulative size of the files that are being downloaded exceeds this value (DBT= n).
If DBT=0 , it is ignored (there is no deferral if the speed of the network is below the Network Threshold (DT) value).
|
DAT
| The minimum cumulative size (in bytes) of the files that are being downloaded, a fast network and which triggers the deferral. The default is 0.
A deferral is triggered if the network speed is faster than the Network Threshold (DT) value AND the cumulative size of the files that are being downloaded exceeds this value (DAT= n).
If DAT=0 , it is ignored (there is no deferral if the speed of the network exceeds the Network Threshold (DT) value).
|
DTO
| The duration (in seconds) for which the Defer Alert dialog box displays; the default is 120. After the timeout is reached, the DA (Action on timeout) action is taken.
|
DA
| The action that is taken if the subscriber does not respond to the Defer Alert dialog box in the time that is allowed by the DTO (Alert Timeout) variable.
- Specify
C (the default) to continue with the specified action. - Specify
D to defer the specified action.
|
DI
| The threshold date (in YYYYMMDD format) after which the option to defer the application installation is no longer available—the application is installed.
|
DU
| The threshold date (in YYYYMMDD format) after which the option to defer the application update is no longer available—the application is updated.
|
