You can configure the general settings for the Subscriber object.
Use Policy
Click if you want to use the values set in the Tiered Electronic Distribution policy. This check box will display if a Tiered Electronic Distribution policy has been created and associated with the container of the Subscriber. If you enable this option, the rest of the fields are disabled and the effective policy settings are used instead.
Input Rate
The rate Distributions are received and extracted. The default is the maximum that the connection can handle. This rate is used to control a Subscriber's use of narrow bandwidth links.
Output Rates Based Upon Distribution's Priority
The three priority options (High, Medium, or Low) determine when the Distribution will be received and extracted in relation to other Distributions' priorities.
Maximum Concurrent Distributions
Specifies the maximum number of distribution threads that can be running concurrently. The default value is unlimited (blank field).
Connection Time-Out
Specifies the number of seconds a Subscriber will wait for a response from a Distributor (receiving) or a Subscriber (sending) before ending the connection. If a connection is ended during sending or receiving, the send will not start again until the next time the Channel schedule starts. It will then pick up where it left off.
The default value is 300 seconds (five minutes). The available range in seconds is 1 to 60,000. This setting should be a reasonable time to wait for a response from one node to another.
This value should be increased on slow or busy links where longer delays are expected.
Working Directory
Specifies the directory to be used by the Distribution. For example:
DOC:\SWORK
The working directory defaults to SYS:\ZENWORKS\PDS\TED\SUB on NetWare® servers. It contains archives, persistent status, and temporary working files. The contents of the directory can become very large. Therefore, we recommend that you change the default to a volume other than SYS:.
Parent Subscriber
Specifies a parent Subscriber from which all Distributions for this Subscriber will be received.
Because the routing information in a Distributor object's properties only accounts for parent Subscribers, this field is where you can connect "end node" Subscribers into a Distributor's distribution route. End node Subscribers are those that will not be used to pass Distributions to other Subscribers.
Disk Space Desired To Be Left Free (MB)
Specifies the amount of free disk space that should be available for incoming Distributions.
