Updating Device Information
The DCE Manager maintains a device database, which provides configuration
information for each device known to the DCE Manager. If a new device is added
to the network, the DCE Manager is notified by OpenView. Once the DCE
Manager is notified, it queries the device for configuration information and adds
this to its internal database.
Occasionally, the configuration of a device is modified. To ensure that the DCE
Manager device database contains the correct configuration for a device, you can
perform a synchronization of the device with the device database as described in
the following procedure.
