Forcing a Single Distribution To Be Sent

If you want to send a single Distribution outside of the normal Refresh, Build, and Send schedules, and the Channel's Send schedule is not ready to fire, you can manually force this distribution process using only the ZfS Management role in iManager.

To force a single Distribution to be sent, do one of the following:

• If the Send Distribution Immediately After Building option is checked in the Distribution's properties, in iManager click Distribution > click Build Distribution.

  Even if there are other Distributions in the Channel where this Distribution is listed, only this Distribution will be sent.

• If the Send Distribution Immediately After Building option is not checked in the Distribution's properties, in iManager click Distribution > click Build Distribution > click Channel > Distribute Channel.

  All other Distributions in the Channel will be also be sent if needed by the Subscribers.

As soon as a Subscriber receives an entire Distribution, it will extract it according to the Subscriber's Extract schedule.
