Schedules
Use the Schedule options to schedule an action. These options display in either a window’s panel
or a window of its own depending on how you accessed them.
Access the Schedule options from a portlet that ordinarily executes schedules using the Schedule
pop-up menu option, clicking the Schedule button from a window, or selecting the Schedule tab
from a window. For example, right-click a discovery profile and then select Schedule from the
Discovery Profiles portlet. Alternatively, right-click in the Schedules or Configuration
Management Schedules portlets, select New > actionType > Schedule.
Once you save the schedule, the action (for example Discovery Profile) also appears in the
Configuration Management Schedule portlet as a scheduled item.
If you have the OpenManage Network Manager Change Management/Proscan capabilities
installed, use Schedules to initiate the Change Determination process. See
Change
