Capture Snapshot Data

Typically, report data is captured in snapshots in scheduled intervals. If you want to capture snapshot data on demand, use the Capture Snapshot Data task to export the data immediately to the central database.

Important! Exporting snapshot data can take a long time if you have a large amount of data to export. When the reporting snapshot includes large amounts of data, we recommend that you create a snapshot definition to schedule your snapshots.

Note: By default, you must have the System Manager role to capture snapshot data.

Follow these steps:

1. In CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management, click Reports, Tasks, Capture Snapshot Data.

   The Capture Snapshot Data page appears.

2. Select the name of the snapshot definition to capture, and click Submit.

   CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management exports snapshot data to the central database.

Note: You can use the View Submitted Tasks task to check the progress of the task. For more information about creating a snapshot definition, see the Implementation Guide.
