Advanced

The Advanced tab lets you view and change the following options for Distributed Command Execution Manager (DCEM) that are not directly related to running commands:

See the following for more detailed help on the Advanced tab:



Generate a new command specification for specific hosts

This option controls whether DCEM creates a command specification to run a command on hosts where the command did not complete successfully. The command specification contains all the information from the original command specification, except that the list of target hosts includes only those hosts on which the command was initially unsuccessful. To rerun the command on these specific hosts:

  1. In the General tab of the DCEM dialog, click the Browse button following the Name field.
  2. In the Browse Command Specifications dialog, select the My Problems tab.
  3. Select the command specification to run from the list.
  4. Click the OK button to return to the main dialog and run the command specification on the specific hosts where the previous attempt was unsuccessful.



Set Maximum Number of Report Directories

This option allows the user to specify the maximum number of directories that can be created on the managing server for storing command specification reports. Once this maximum is reached, DCEM stops creating additional reports, and a message is displayed when a command is run indicating that a command execution can't complete until specified action is taken. To resume report creation, delete report directories that are no longer needed or increase the maximum number of directories allowed.
