Creating a Global Parameter Changes Work Order

1. Expand the Configuration Manager slider and click Configuration tools > Global Parameters
2. Click the Admin tab and click Add in the Work orders table.
3. In the Settings tab, configure the following parameters:

   Name	Description
   Name	The work order name, which is an alphanumeric value from 1 to 24 characters in length with no spaces.
   Scheduled check box	Check the check box to enable the Start date and time field to schedule when the global parameter work order starts.
   Start date and time field	Select a start date by clicking the calendar icon and specify time entries in the Time fields by selecting the hour, minute and second respectively by typing the numbers in the text box or using the arrows.
   Run device tasks concurrently check box	Check the check box to run global parameter work order tasks at the same time multiple device group tasks are updated concurrently. If you select this check box the Error policy and Behavior fields cannot be configured.
   Error policy drop-down list	Error policies that determine how errors are handled when they occur during the execution of your global parameter work order. Select from the following error policies you want to apply to this global parameter work order: Log and proceed—(Default) The targeted device that experiences the error is rolled back to its original configuration state and the work order proceeds to the next targeted device in the work order list. Stop—The targeted device that experienced the error is rolled back to its original configuration state and the work order stops. You must manually resume, or abort, the work order. Stop and rollback—All targeted devices are stopped until the error is rolled back, devices are returned to their original configuration state, and the work order stops.
   Behavior drop-down list	This drop-down list is disabled by default which means that this parameter is set to Automatic. Select from the following behaviors to apply to this work order: Automatic (default)—The software upgrade or global parameter changes proceeds on each targeted device without requiring intervention. Device-level—The software upgrade or global parameter changes pause after each targeted device finishes updating. You must manually continue to the next targeted device listed in the work order. Note: If an error occurs during the work order execution, the behavior is controlled by the error policy.
   Auto commit check box	When a work order completes, but is not committed, it retains a lock on all its targeted devices so that no other operations can be performed on them until the work order is successfully committed and its devices are unlocked. The check box is disabled by default, which means the work order must be manually committed from the work order. Check the check box to automatically commit the global parameter work order after the execution of the work order.

4. Select the Device groups tab and click Add in the Device groups table.
5. In the Select Device dialog box, expand a device folder in the Managed devices table, select a device row, and click Add.
6. The device, its network function and folder structure moves to the Targeted devices table and the folder structure is collapsed.

   Note:

   A work order has the following limitations:

   • A work order is limited to one platform and software version at a time.
   • In the case of an session delivery (SD) HA device pair, the work order is applied to both devices.
   • All devices must have the same platform, software version, and same redundancy type (HA or standalone).
7. Repeat the previous steps to add additional targeted devices.

   Note:

   Device filtering is applied after the first device is selected.
8. Click OK. The devices appear in the Device groups and Devices tables.
9. Click the Global parameter changes tab.
10. Click the ellipsis (...) icon next to the Global configuration field to select your global parameter configuration.

    Note:

    A global parameter configuration must have the same software version and platform as the selected devices.
11. In the Select global configuration dialog box, select the global parameter configuration you want to assign to this global parameter work order and click OK.
    The Global configuration field populates with the global parameter configuration you selected and the Version number field displays its software version.
12. Click Apply.
13. In the success dialog box, click OK.
    The global parameter work order appears in Work orders table.
