Schedule the CA CMDB Report

You schedule the CA CMDB Export Report after you create the event, configure, and schedule the BOXI_GRLoader program object to wait for the XML Schedule event. You can optionally set a user to receive a notification of the GRLoader output as an email attachment.

Note: When you schedule both BOXI_GRLoader and the CA CMDB Export Report, schedule the BOXI_GRLoader program object before the CA CMDB Export Report so that it is in a waiting state for the event to trigger.

To schedule the report

  1. Log in to the CMC or InfoView and browse to the following directory:
    InfoView

    \Public Folders\CA Reports\CCA to CMDB

    CMC

    \Folders\All Folders\CA Reports\CCA to CMDB

  2. Right-click CA CMDB Export report and select Schedule.

    The Schedule page appears.

  3. Perform the following steps:
    1. Enter a Title for the Instance.
    2. Select Recurrence from the left pane and set the option that you want, such as Now, Hourly, or Daily.
    3. Select Parameters from the left pane and set the values as required and click Set Parameters.
    4. Select Events from the left pane and verify that the Successful_Report_XML_Event is selected by default as the Event to trigger on completion.
    5. Select Format from the left pane, set the destination format as Plain Text, and verify that Use the export options defined in the report option is selected.
    6. Select Destination from the left pane and set where you want to place the generated XML file by performing the following actions:
      • Select File System from the Destination drop-down list.
      • Enter *.xml as the file name you want to generate specifically, which is the same file as the one configured in conf.txt while scheduling the BOXI_GRLoader.
      • Enter the directory that you used when configuring conf.txt.

      For example, if conf.txt contains the line grloader.inputfile=c:/GrLoader/XML/, the XML file cmdbexport.xml is located in the c:/GRLoader/XML/ directory.

  4. Click Schedule.

    BOXI_GRLoader waits for the event to happen and the report triggers the event after it schedules the report successfully. This action starts the schedule of the BOXI_GRLoader.jar program object and loads data into the CA CMDB database.
