Execute Host Command - Multiple Hosts

The Execute Host Command page enables you to type operating system commands against multiple hosts and immediately view the results. This gives you the opportunity to perform administrative operations on multiple hosts within the context of Enterprise Manager.

On this page, you can:

• Refine the command, reexecute the command, and view the execution results, all on the same page.

• Either type operating system commands, load the commands from a script on the browser machine or on the host, or load host commands from a job defined in the job library.

• Select hosts individually or through the use of a group. You can also switch to Single Target Mode where only one host target is acted upon.

• Interactively view command execution results or hide the results to be viewed at a later time.

• Use preferred credentials or override preferred credentials.

• Add targets and modify the targets list.

Note the following:

• Re-execute the command by clicking Execute.

• Cancel execution of the command is possible when the Processing: Executing Host Command page appears.

• Execution history reflects the host commands that have been executed in the current Execute Host Command session, as well as any host commands executed in previous sessions that were executed with the 'Keep the execution history for this command' option chosen.

• Clicking Add launches the Target Selection page with the target type list limited to host targets and any groups that contain host targets.

• When saving the OS script or execution results, the saved file is located on the browser machine.

• No more than 500 lines appear in the history list.

• At most, 10 rows of command execution results data will be displayed in the targets table. If more data is returned, click the Execution Status icon in the table or click Complete Execution Results.

• When switching from multiple to single target mode, the first host in the targets table will be used.
