Using EMS Profiles for CA Mediation Manager for Infrastructure Management 2.0, Release 2.2.2 › EMS Integration Profiles › Start or Stop EMS Discovery Services

Start or Stop EMS Discovery Services

"Start" services are used for discovery on EMS servers to review the inventory continuously. Although discovery can be scheduled, you can manually start, stop, or restart services on demand. For example, you can restart discovery after an EMS server has been down and brought back up, or after upgrading a device pack installation.

Stopping a service deletes any inactive data poll but waits for any active data polling to complete without any interruption. No EMS files are deleted. This action also disables any new polling from occurring as long as it is in a Stopped state. The service remains in a stopped state until you start it again.

Restarting Data Collector has no effect on the status of any EMS integration profile.

Note: You must be logged in as an administrator to perform this task.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Admin, Data Source Settings, and click a Data Aggregator data source in the CA Performance Center user interface.
2. Click EMS Integration Profiles from the Monitoring Configuration menu.

   The EMS Integration Profiles page opens, displaying a list of available discovery profiles.

3. Select a profile, and click Start or Stop.

   A confirmation dialog opens.

4. Click Yes to confirm the action.

   The service starts or stops, depending on your choice. This service remains in the started or stopped state until you change it manually.
