Removing Jobs In The Jobs Queue

Select the job from the Jobs Queue, and click Remove to delete that particular job.

NOTE: You must first Stop a job and only then it can be Removed from the queue. This only applies if that particular

job is running at the time. If the job is in the queue, it can be removed without stopping it first. You can select

multiple jobs together and remove them from the Jobs Queue.

If you close the Dell Repository Manager while a job is still being processed in the Jobs Queue, the Processing Jobs

window displays the following message:

• Click Cancel to close the window and allow the job to finish processing.

• Click Stop and Exit to exit the application without completing the jobs in the Jobs Queue.

you to reconfirm the removal of the job, Are you sure you want to permanently remove the

selected Job(s)? window appears for confirmation. If, the job is already completed, removing the job will

not remove the work that is completed, it will only remove the job listed in the jobs queue.

Scheduling Automatic Search

The following are the benefits of using the Automatic Search feature to schedule an automatic download and/or build an

update repository from the support site:

• Downloading updates from Dell Support site for one or more Dell products based on the brands and service tags

can be scheduled. This schedule can be used to check and download updates periodically, during the off pick

hours.

• Updates can be packaged in a Light Weight Deployment Pack (LWDP) available to be used directly to update the

systems. The update process can be automated with the help of the batch (.bat for Windows) or shell (.sh for

Linux) files created as part of the LWDP.

NOTE: The Windows Task Scheduler must be started to enable the Automatic Search feature. You can enable The

Windows Task Scheduler service in the Windows Services console. To use the Automatic Search feature you

require an internet connection.

NOTE: Legacy systems are available with this search feature.

You can automate and schedule the search option for updating files from www.dell.com/support.
