The animation displayed opposite shows an installation account ACME\CMAdmin01, confirmation of permissions in Configuration Manager, configuration of its permissions in Tachyon, and the installation of the 1E Nomad Branch Admin Extensions. The steps to take are described in the following headings:

Configuring the installation account permissions

To perform a successful installation the full Configuration Manager administrator account must be added to Tachyon and have the following roles set:

• Consumer Administrators
• Instruction Set Administrators
• Permissions Administrators

To configure Tachyon permissions:

1. Log on to Tachyon with an account with the Permissions Administrators role
2. On the Administration Permissions page click the add user icon to the right of the search field under the Users tab
3. In the edit field under TACHYON PERMISSIONS enter some characters from the full Configuration Manager administrator account name and click Search. Tachyon will search AD for a matching set of credentials.
4. There may be more than one match displayed in the dropdown list, select the required user and click Ok.
5. To add the three roles: 
   1. Click the Add role button
   2. Select Consumer Administrators from the Role dropdown
   3. Click Add role again and do the same for the Instruction Set Administrators and Permissions Administrators roles
   4. Once the last role has been selected click Save and Add instead of Add role
   5. The user will then be saved to Tachyon. You can confirm by selecting the user just added and checking that it has the three required roles

Installing NomadBranchAdminUIExt.msi

The following steps describe how to run the 1E Nomad Branch Admin Extensions installer. See also Installing the Configuration Manager console extensions.

1. Using the full Configuration Manager account just added to Tachyon double-click on the NomadBranchAdminUIExt.msi file
2. The first page is the Welcome screen, just click Next to continue
3. On the License Agreement screen select the I accept the terms in the license agreement option in order to continue and click Next
4. The next screen, Nomad Pre-Caching, is used to configure the URL for the ActiveEfficiency Server, which supports that feature. In our example the ActiveEfficiency server is on the same server as Configuration Manager and Tachyon and is called ACME-CM01. So we just replace the <server> part of the text already in the edit field and end up with: http://ACME-CM01/ActiveEfficiency once the URL has been set click Next to continue, at this point the connection to ActiveEfficiency will be verified
5. On the Nomad Tachyon Integration screen (this is the setting you need for Nomad Download Pause) you will need to check the Enable Tachyon Integration checkbox before you can enter the base URL for the Tachyon API. This is in the format: https://<Tachyon DNS alias FQDN>. In our example the Tachyon DNS alias FQDN is tachyon.acme.local. So the text https://tachyon.acme.local  needs to be entered into the Tachyon API Root URL edit field. When this has been added click Next to continue, at this point the connection to the Tachyon API will be verified
6. The next screen is Ready to Install the Program. Here you need to click the Install button to start the installation process
7. Depending on the UAC settings for your server you may be prompted for some Administrator account details during the installation process. Set any details required and click Yes to continue
8. If the installation is successful the InstallShield Wizard Completed screen will be displayed. You can check the Show the Windows Installer log checkbox to display a log of the installation process. To close the installer dialog click the Finish button.

Confirming the Nomad Download Pause feature installation

It is good practice to confirm the installation of the Nomad Download Pause components in both Tachyon and Configuration Manager. The animation opposite illustrates the process described in the following headings:

Confirm the installation in Tachyon

1. Logon to Tachyon as a user with at least Consumer Administrators, Instruction Set Administrators and Permissions Administrators roles.
2. On the Administration Consumers page check the following:
   
   1. A Nomad consumer has been added
3. On the Administration Instruction sets page check the following:

   1. A 1E Nomad instruction set exists, and contains two instructions:

      • Pause the Nomad job queue for <PauseDurationMinutes> minutes

      • Resume the paused Nomad job queue

4. On the Administration Permissions page check the following:

   1. On the Roles tab check that the Nomad Admins role has been created with Actioner permissions on the 1E Nomad set 

   2. Click on the Management Groups tab, and click on the Add button. Select All Devices in the Add management group popup, and then click Add.

      If other management groups are selected instead then members of this role can only use the instructions on devices belonging to those management groups.

      
      

   3. On the Users tab check that all Configuration Manager users and groups that have the "Full Administrator" role have been added to Tachyon as users.

      You may remove users if you know they do not require Tachyon permissions. However they will be re-added the next time the installer is run and the installation account has permissions to add users. You may add additional users and groups manually.

      
      

   4. Select each of the added Configuration Manager users in turn and check that they have the Nomad Admins role added 

      These permissions ensure all current "Full Administrators" are able to use the Nomad Download Pause feature by allowing them to execute the Tachyon instructions. Any other users or groups will need to be manually added to the Nomad Admins role.

      
      

Confirm the installation in Configuration Manager

1. On the Administration Client Settings page check the following:
   1. Right-click on Default Client Settings and check that a 1E Nomad sub-menu has been added to the context menu containing a Nomad Properties menu item
2. On the Assets and Compliance Device Collections page check the following:
   1. Two Nomad related buttons have been added to the Home ribbon:
      1. Pause Nomad Downloads
      2. Resume Nomad Downloads

If all these checks have passed you should have a working installation of the Nomad Download Pause feature.

Using the Nomad Download Pause feature

Pausing Nomad downloads

The Nomad Download Pause feature can be applied to a collection of devices. To do this:

1. Select the collection you want and click the Pause Nomad Downloads button or select the Pause Nomad Downloads menu item from the collection's right-click context menu
2. A Nomad Job Queue Management dialog will appear asking explaining the consequences of continuing. If you want to continue. Click Yes to proceed and No to cancel
3. If you click Yes, a Pausing Nomad downloads dialog will appear showing the progress of the process. This should reach 100% with no errors, at this point click Done to close the dialog
4. When applied, the Nomad downloads on the selected collection will be paused for a period of 24 hours - after which they will resume automatically

Checking paused collections in Configuration Manager

When a collection has been successfully paused an entry will appear on the Monitoring 1E Nomad, Paused Collections page, as shown in the picture opposite.

From here you can view the following information:

From this page you can also select to resume the paused collection by clicking on the Resume button or by selecting the Resume menu item from the collection's right-click context menu.

As soon as the Nomad job queue for the entire collection has been resumed the entry will disappear from the Monitoring 1E Nomad, Paused Collections page.

Checking the Pause instruction in Tachyon

You can also check the progress of the pause process by looking at the instruction history in Tachyon:

1. Log onto Tachyon using one of the full Configuration Manager administrator accounts
2. Select the Instructions History page
3. You should see an entry for the Pause the Nomad job queue for 1440 minutes instruction
4. Clicking on the instruction shows a detailed breakdown of the response from each device in the selected collection

Resuming Nomad downloads

If you want to resume the Nomad downloads for a collection at any time during the 24 hours, you can

1. Select the collection you want and click the Resume Nomad downloads button.
2. A Nomad Job Queue Management dialog will appear asking explaining the consequences of continuing. If you want to continue. Click Yes to proceed and No to cancel
3. If you click Yes, a Resuming Nomad downloads dialog will appear showing the progress of the process. This should reach 100% with no errors, at this point click Done to close the dialog
4. When applied, the Nomad downloads on the selected collection will be immediately resumed from where they left off

As soon as the Nomad job queue for the collection has been resumed the paused collection entry will also disappear from the Monitoring 1E Nomad, Paused Collections page.

Checking the Resume instruction in Tachyon

You can check the progress of the resume process by looking at the instruction history in Tachyon:

1. Log onto Tachyon using one of the full Configuration Manager administrator accounts
2. Select the Instructions History page
3. You should see an entry for the Resume the paused Nomad job queue instruction
4. Clicking on the instruction shows a detailed breakdown of the response from each device in the selected collection
