The predefined tasks are linked to the engine and run immediately after starting the engine. The following predefined tasks are available:
Downloads new software signatures from the CA Online Content Service to the database. After the software content download is complete, you must be sure to restart the DSM Explorer and the AM manager, respectively. Otherwise, the downloaded software will not be reflected in the DSM Explorer GUI.
To restart the AM manager, use the following command:
caf stop ammanager caf start ammanager
Important! Do not run CAF Stop while the software signatures are being downloaded. The download process updates many important tables in the database which needs to be consistent. So, if you kill the process, data can become inconsistent. The download process is a java executable, so check for java.exe in the process list and check that the job ‘Default Software Contents Download Job’ is not running by navigating to the System Engine in the Control Panel.
Executes the directory synchronization job configured under Control Panel, Directory Integration, Directory Synchronization folder.
Processes SCAP checklists located in the ITCM_installpath\SCAP_Checklists folder. If there are new or updated checklists, this job creates a compressed archive of the checklist files, and creates or updates inventory detection modules for the new or updated checklists.
Executes the engine collect task to collect the inventory information such as hardware, software, usage, and so on.
Note: Modifying, unlinking, or deleting the predefined engine tasks can impact some of the functionalities in the Client Automation system.
