Field Reference
Generate Report button Click this button to create a discovery status report for this job. The
report is a PDF file, saved to your client system, that includes a
summary of the job. You can use this report for your own purposes or
to aid in troubleshooting a problem with Cisco TAC. For more
information, see Generating Deployment or Discovery Status Reports,
page 10-28.
Abort button Aborts the discovery task.
If you abort the task when performing policy discovery on a single
device, the result is partial discovery of that device. In such cases, we
recommend deleting the information (for example, by discarding the
activity) and starting again.
If you abort the task when performing policy discovery on multiple
devices, Security Manager automatically discards the information for
any partially discovered device. Devices for which discovery was
completed before you aborted the operation are fully discovered.
