Communication apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium storing program

A control method for a communication apparatus, the control method executed by the communication apparatus, the control method comprising:

• executing wireless communication in which the communication apparatus and an external apparatus communicate by wireless LAN without going through an external access point;
• and
• in a case where a request for the communication apparatus and the external apparatus to share a parameter used by the communication apparatus and the external apparatus to connect through the wireless communication is received from the external apparatus:
• controlling processing for sharing the parameter between the communication apparatus and the external apparatus to be executed using a first method, in a case where the communication apparatus is in a first operation state including at least one of a state in which an error is not occurring and a state in which a job is not being executed;
• and
• controlling processing for sharing the parameter between the communication apparatus and the external apparatus to be executed using a second method different from the first method, in a case where the communication apparatus is in a second operation state different from the first operation state.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores one or more programs including instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a communication apparatus, cause the communication apparatus to:

• execute wireless communication in which the communication apparatus and an external apparatus communicate by wireless LAN without going through an external access point;
• and
• in a case where a request for the communication apparatus and the external apparatus to share a parameter used by the communication apparatus and the external apparatus to connect through the wireless communication is received from the external apparatus:
• control processing for sharing the parameter between the communication apparatus and the external apparatus to be executed using a first method, in a case where the communication apparatus is in a first operation state including at least one of a state in which an error is not occurring and a state in which a job is not being executed;
• and
• control processing for sharing the parameter between the communication apparatus and the external apparatus to be executed using a second method different from the first method, in a case where the communication apparatus is in a second operation state different from the first operation state.
