Execute an action

The Execute button allows you to manually run an action. To schedule an action, please refer to Schedules page.

  1. Click the Execute button.

  2. In the Execute action popup subsequently displayed, use the Repository menu to select the inventory repository you want to populate.

  3. Once the repository has been selected you can then select the action to run. In the case of inventory repositories the actions will be restricted to inventory related actions. For a connector you will be looking for an action with the form Sync Data - <connector name>.

  4. For inventory syncs (where you sync a connector) you have additional options to check as shown in the example picture opposite:

    Warning

    Clean Sync causes deletion of existing data previously imported by the selected combination of action and repository. Data imported by any other connector actions is left intact and consolidated with new data. To clear all data from a repository, please refer to Clearing data from a repository.

    If Clean Sync checkbox is not checked then an incremental sync occurs, consolidating new data with old. An incremental sync is quicker than a clean sync.

    Clean Sync will prevent the Management Groups feature and applications such as Patch Success from working until the sync is complete and new data has been consolidated. This operation should only be performed if you need a clean sync or are experiencing problems with sync times taking too long.

    Note

    Run AI action will cause the AI action to run, this is only available if AI Powered Auto-curation has been enabled. The Run AI action checkbox is also available if the selected Action is Generate Report - Basic Inventory Consolidation. For detail on how to enable AI Powered Auto-curation the information is on the AI Powered Auto-curation page.

    Note

    Data to Sync allows you to select some or all categories of data supported by the connector.

  5. Click the Execute button in the Execute action popup to start the sync.

  6. A popup appears momentarily informing you that the Sync has started and you can monitor progress in the Process log.

  7. When the sync starts a number of actions are queued to be performed on the selected repository. To check the progress of the sync actions:

    1. Navigate to the Monitoring→Process log page.

    2. Here you can see the sequence of actions that have been queued for the selected repository related to the Sync Data action selected.

    3. When each action has finished running you'll see a check icon

      appear in the Status column if it succeeds or a failed icon

      232785715.png

      if it fails.

  8. Once all the actions have succeeded you can check the results. To do this:

    1. Navigate to the Monitoring→Sync log page.

    2. This displays the items that have been added to the selected repository as a result of running the sync.
