OpenDeploy timeout?

Solaris 9
OpenDeploy/DataDeploy 6.1.0

Running the attached deployment script which deploys from an Intranet into a DMZ. The script is invoked via workflow, and if a deployment fails, the workflow transitions over to an admin who resolves the issue, and resubmits.

To date, every failure required no more than the admin "resubmitting", and the deployment completing fine.

I would appreciate any comments on the attached deployment script which may help alleviate this issue? Of note, there are occasional network lags which roughly correspond to the failed deployments.

Thanks in advance.

I do not think you can do what you want with the OD Configuration alone.

There may be various mechanisms to do that programmaticaly. For example, upon deployment failure you may transition to a Dummy
task with the predefined timeout and then loop back to the deployment task. Once there, increase task variable *attempts counter*
and if it's below limit try again otherwise transition to administrative support. Alternatively, you can code multiple attempts in external task itself, etc...

All that is pretty trivial though. not sure what kind of advise you are looking for

You certainly can try in the IPL script, on a failure, try a short delay and running the deployment again. IMHO, not a stellar approach, but if you are convinced there will not be operator intervention required in a substantial number of times, then this is a reasonable approach.

Thanks for the input. Am curious if there is any feedback on the deployment script itself? Are there areas for improvement on the parameters which may make the script more fault tolerant?

It would be somewhat easier to provide you with the feedback if you attach the deployment script to look at.
What you've included in your original post is Deployment configuration, not Deployment task Script
