Accessing Mass Update

To access the Mass Update application, click the Mass Update panel on the bottom left corner of the I-Management Console screen. The Mass Update screen then displays.



In addition to the Menu Bar and Tool Bar, the Mass Update screen is comprised of four regions:

Profile Tree

The Profile tree section of the Mass Update screen identifies all of the profiles for which the current user (resident on UEC) has configuration access.



When you click on a profile in the Profile tree, the Profile Configurations Tree is populated with all configurations defined for that profile.


Note

When you select Mass Update for the first time, the Profile tree may be empty.

Profile Configurations Tree

The Profile Configurations tree section of the Mass Update screen identifies all of the configurations included in the profile selected in the Profile Tree.



The Profile Configuration tree organizes the configurations under groups that provide a logical hierarchy.

The following configuration groups can appear in the Profile Configuration tree:

  • Universal Command
  • Universal Data Mover
  • Universal Event Monitor
  • Universal Infrastructure
  • Universal Utilities

The Edit Configuration List link at the bottom of the tree lets you add or remove configurations for this profile (see Adding & Removing Configurations in a Profile).

Profile Agents Tree

The Profile Agents tree section of the Mass Update screen identifies all of the agents that have been assigned to the profile selected in the Profile Tree.



The Edit Agent List link at the bottom of the tree lets you add or remove agents assigned to this profile (see Adding & Removing Agents in a Profile).

Profile Configurations Options Table

The Profile Configurations Options table section of the Mass Update screen identifies all of the options for a profile configuration selected in the Profile Configurations Tree.

(The top, left corner of the table identifies the selected profile configuration.)



The Profile Configurations Options table consists of three columns:

  • Check box that lets you select an option to modify.
  • Option: Options in the selected configuration whose value can be defined.
  • Value: Fields that lets you create or modify option values. Depending on the option, Value has the following form:
    • Text field
    • Drop-down list
    • Custom field (for example, the SSL/TLS Cipher List fields)

Navigating in the Profile Configurations Options Table

After selecting an option in the Profile Configurations Options table, you can navigate in the table and modify values solely from the keyboard by using the following keys:

  • Space Bar
    Toggles the Commit check box (inserts / removes check mark).
  • Down Arrow
    Moves to the next option.
  • Up Arrow
    Moves to the previous option.
  • Esc
    Exits the edit mode.
  • Enter
    Enters the edit mode.

Rules for Creating and Modifying Configuration Values

The following rules apply for creating and modifying configuration values in the Profile Configurations Options table:

  • Configuration values can contain spaces and/or tabs, but if they do, they must be enclosed in single ( ' ) or double ( " ) quotation marks. Repeat the enclosing characters to include them as part of the value.
  • Configuration values that are not pre-defined, such as directory names and file names, are case sensitive.
