FIGURE 5-18 Purge Backup Dialog
Note: The value for what appears is from the AT_NmsBackupFiles.conf configuration file. The number must be greater than 0.
Refer to 3.4.5.
The dialog includes a “Purge” button to activate purging and a “Cancel” button to dismiss the dialog without executing a
purge.
Selecting Purge brings up the confirmation dialog. If the user confirms the operation, then all but the latest number of files
per device will be deleted. Also, the
AT_NmsBackupFiles.conf configuration file will be updated if a different value was
entered (for example other than the 100 shown in the figure).
5.3.3 Command Script Management
Scripts are user-defined command (CLI) files. With the Command Script Mgmt window, the user can retrieve script files
from a device or from the AlliedView NMS server, edit them in a multi-paged editor, and execute them. Moreover, the
scripts can be executed on multiple devices at once.
Note: For Rapier devices, significant configuration changes made using command scripts will not be reflected in the NMS until the
devices are rediscovered. (Rediscovery can occur automatically as configured in Discovery Configurator or on demand by right-
clicking a device and selecting Rediscovery.)
Figure 5-19 shows the Command Script Mgmt window after devices have been selected and data collected. Table 5-6 shows
the fields and buttons available.
