Example for Group Policies

Following is a simple example of applying a conguration template to a group:

●

An administrator is named Pat.

●

Pat has an HP Web Jetadmin group named “Pat’s Devices”.

●

One policy setting on the group is a conguration template that sets the System Contact to “Pat” and the

Device Location to “Building 3”.

Change the Order in which HP Web Jetadmin Applies Policies

You can specify the order in which HP Web Jetadmin applies policies to devices that are added or removed from

a device group. When HP Web Jetadmin nishes applying one policy, it begins applying the next policy in the list.

If a device does not respond while HP Web Jetadmin is applying a policy, the policy execution task never

completes. In this case, HP Web Jetadmin does not apply the remaining policies in the list to the device. To avoid

this situation, HP Web Jetadmin provides a timeout setting with a default value of 450 minutes for each policy

execution task. If a policy execution task does not complete within this default timeout period, HP Web Jetadmin

begins executing the next policy in the list.

You can increase or decrease the timeout value, depending on the types of policies you dene for device groups

and the number of devices to which HP Web Jetadmin applies these policies during an execution phase. If you

only dene policies that do not take a long time to execute, such as installing solutions or fonts, or only add a

few devices to a device group at one time, you can decrease the timeout value. If you dene policies that take a

long time to execute, such as rmware upgrades, or add a large number of devices to a device group at one

time, you can increase the timeout value.

For example, assume that you dene a rmware upgrade policy and a subscribe to alerts policy for a device

group, and specify that the rmware upgrade policy is applied rst and the subscribe to alerts policy is applied

second. If you add 100 devices to this device group, HP Web Jetadmin begins executing the rmware upgrade

task for all the devices. If HP Web Jetadmin does not nish upgrading the rmware on all 100 devices within 450

minutes, it continues executing the rmware upgrade task on the remaining devices and begins executing the

subscribe to alerts task for all the devices. HP Web Jetadmin is now executing both policy tasks at the same

time. In this case, it is possible for HP Web Jetadmin to execute the subscribe to alerts policy on a device before it

executes the rmware upgrade policy on that device. To ensure that the policies are applied to devices in the

order you specied, you can increase the timeout value to allow additional time for HP Web Jetadmin to

complete the rmware upgrade task.

To change the default timeout value, perform the following steps:
