Ping Device This option performs a ping test to verify if a
device is reachable before it runs a task against it.
This option can be used when using $IP or
$RAC_IP and it decreases the time it takes to run
the task(s) as it skips unreachable devices.
Output to file Select to enable output to a log file. This option
captures standard output from the running
application and writes it to the log file. If you select
this option, you must enter the path name and file
name of the log file. This option is disabled by
default.
Append Select this option to continue writing to the same
file if you run a task multiple times.
Include errors Select to write all OpenManage Essentials-
detected errors to the log file. For example, if no
response is received to a ping request before the
execution of the command, an error is written to
the log file.
