Task Manager
Use Task Manager to schedule CC-SG tasks on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. A task
can be scheduled to run only once or periodically on a specified day of the week and at a
specified interval, such as, scheduling device backups every three weeks on Fridays or emailing a
particular report to one or more recipients every Monday.
Note: Task Manager uses the Server time that is set on CC-SG for scheduling--not the time on
your client PC. The Server time is displayed in the upper right corner of each CC-SG screen.
Task Types
These tasks can be scheduled:
• Backup Device Configuration (individual device or device group)
• Restore Device Configuration (does not apply to device groups)
• Copy Device Configuration (individual device or device group)
• Upgrade Device Firmware (individual device or device group). Note that the firmware should
be made available before scheduling this task.
• Backup CC-SG
• Restart Device (does not apply to device groups)
• Outlet Port Power Management (Power On/Off/Recycle Outlet ports)
• Generate all Reports (HTML or CSV format)
• Purge Logs
Scheduling Sequential Tasks
You may want to schedule tasks sequentially to confirm that expected behavior was actually
carried out. For example, you may want to schedule an Upgrade Device Firmware task for a
given device group, and then schedule an Asset Management Report task immediately after it to
confirm that the correct versions of firmware were upgraded.
Email Notifications
Upon completion of a task, an email message can be sent to a specified recipient. You can specify
where and how the email is sent, such as if it is sent securely via SSL, in the Notification
Manager. Please refer to
, earlier in this chapter, for additional
information.
Scheduled Reports
Reports that are scheduled are sent via email to the recipients that you specify.
All reports that have a Finished status are stored on CC-SG for 30 days and can be viewed in
HTML format by selecting Scheduled Reports under the Reports menu. Please refer to
10: Generating Reports, Scheduled Reports
for additional information.
