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. For example, you could schedule device backups to occur every three weeks on
Fridays, or schedule a particular report to be emailed 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 CC-SG
• Backup Device Configuration (individual device or device group)
• Copy Device Configuration (individual device or device group)
• Group Power Control
• Power Management (Power On/Off/Recycle Outlet ports)
• Purge Logs
• Restart Device (does not apply to device groups)
• Restore Device Configuration (does not apply to device groups)
• Upgrade Device Firmware (individual device or device group). Note that the firmware should
be made available before scheduling this task.
• Generate all reports (HTML or CSV format)
Scheduling Sequential Tasks
You may want to schedule tasks sequentially to confirm that expected behavior occurred. 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 for Tasks
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
Notification Manager, 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. You can view the
finished reports in HTML format by selecting Scheduled Reports on the Reports menu. Please
refer to
Chapter 11: Generating Reports, Scheduled Reports for additional information.
