Chapter 8 Archiving Configurations and Managing Them Using Archive Management

Scheduling Sync Archive Job

You can schedule a job to update the configuration archive for selected group of devices.

You have an option to poll device configuration before updating the archive and to fetch Startup

configuration.

You can also perform this task for a selected device using Device Center (from the CiscoWorks LMS

Portal home page, select Device Troubleshooting > Device Center to launch Device Center).

Note View Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check if you have the required

privileges to perform this task.

To schedule a job to update the device configuration:

Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Config Mgmt > Archive Mgmt > Sync Archive.

The Sync Archive dialog box appears.

Step 2 Select either:

• Device Selector, if you want to schedule a job for static set of devices. See Using RME Device

Selector for information on how to use RME Device Selector.

• Group Selector, if you want to schedule a job for dynamic group of devices.

The job is scheduled only for the devices that are present in the selected group at the time when the

job is run. The customizable group selector for jobs evaluates static groups also as dynamic during

run time.
