Define a time schedule in Execution mode

You can easily automate and schedule repeated platform operations in order to save time and effort and to avoid handling errors. Basically, you can schedule your operations in every view offering discovery or inventory and you can do this on the way while triggering a discovery or inventory.

 

For this example, it will be an Oracle discovery run to be started in the Databases view.

1.Navigate to the Databases view in the Asset Management workspace. Then click on Discover new databases.

tip

Tip:
It is not always necessary to create a new automated discovery or inventory run. Often, the basic purpose of a repeated task (e.g. weekly Oracle discovery, daily inventory run) stays the same and you only need to change details within the process (e.g. selected devices, runner choice execution time frame). In this case, you can open every entry under Automation in order to change its settings.
