Your container structure will be displayed to you on the left side. To assign a profile one or more contains, first select the desired container. You may select several containers by holding the CTRL key. On the right side, you can see whether a profile has already been assigned to a container via ACMP.

Hinweis

Tip:

To set up a client for the assigned energy profile, please carry out the corresponding Client Command to use the profile from the agents.

 

Set up Profile on a Client

 

Basically, you can set up a profile on a client using three various methods.

 

Method 1 – Setting up the profile from the ACMP Console:

 

First set up a query that delivers as a result, at least the client on which you wish to set up the profile. For this the All Client query that was delivered is suitable. In the query, mark the clients that are to receive all the profile with a checkmark and click on execute Client Command in the context menu or menu bar.
Select the Client Command Apply power scheme and specify an optional starting-up condition.

After you have clicked Execute, a dialogue will appear, in which you can select the profile to be set up. After you have confirmed you select with OK, (under the consideration of optional start-up conditions) the Client Command will be executed.

 

Method 2 - Setting up the profile with the Client Command Launcher

 

In order to set up a profile using the Client Command Launcher, you must enable the interactive use of the Client Command Apply power scheme. Select Enable Interactive use from the context menu of the Client Command.

 

Green IT Kontextmenue

Context menu

 

In the features of the Client Command, it can only be shown by the symbol (Caller_User) whether the interaction of the user is possible.

 

Open the target client in the Client Command Launcher. You will find it in the task menu.

 

Now you can be select and execute the Client Command Apply power scheme in the Client Command Launcher. Provided the client is in a container, that has already been assigned a profile, hence, setting up this profile for the client. If the client is in a container, you will be requested to select the profile to be set up.

 

warning

Warning:

If the client is located in various containers that have been assigned various profiles, the profile with the highest priority assigned to the container will be set up on the client.

 

Method 3 – Setting up a profile via the container

 

Click on the Link button and select the Client Command Apply power scheme. it will appear on the right side of the dialogue window. With the confirmation button Link, the connection of the Client Command and the container will be established. Click YES in the appearing notification window to specify individual start-up conditions for the Client Command. If you click NO instead, execution time will be set to “every hour”.
 

Hinweis

Tip:

To assign a profile to this container, you need to link them. The one-time execution would result in the profile assignment not to be performed; when a new client is assigned to the container.

 

The client will use the corresponding start up conditions of the selected scheme.

 

 

hmtoggle_arrow0Client Command – Warranty Information Query

The Client Commands Get warranty information (DELL), Get warranty information (Lenovo) and Get warranty information (HP Incorporated) serves to save the warranty information of the respective manufacturer in the user defined field to each client in ACMP.
 

Preparation

 

Hinweis

Tip:

We recommend that you display the Client Command as Quick Command directly in the Action Query ribbon bar or in the Context menu of the clients. It is also possible to use both variations in combination.

 

After you have imported the Client Command, the status has been created. Now open the characteristics via the context menu. The characteristics will be opened in a new window. Now select the options in the left window section. Here you can activate Quick Command display and in the Ribbon-Tab "Query Action” display. Confirm your entries with OK.

 

Now you can release the Client Command by opening the context menu of the client. Here, you can either select the point release Client Command or Send a Phase -> release directly.
 

Recommended Approach

Ribbon bar:

Select the query action that is available to you in the entire console in the ribbon tab. To perform one off the three Client Commands, select Client Commands and select the Client Command that should be performed.
 

If you wish to perform more than one Client Command, instead of selecting Client Command, select the point Perform Client Command in the ribbon bar. Here, you can perform various Client Commands one after another.

 

Quick Command:

Open a query that has all the clients as the result set for which the Client Command to be performed.  Mark the desired clients and open the context menu by a clicking the right mouse button. In the Quick Commands only select the Client Command to be performed.

 

If you wish to perform more than one Client Command, instead of selecting Client Command, select the point Perform Client Command in the context menu. Here, you can perform various Client Commands one after another.
 

In both cases a window will open; in which you can configure the performance.
 

CC_Konfiguration

Configuration Window

 

Provided that you have opened a query and focused a Client Command on the selected client, eave the marking on Selected Clients. However, if you wish to perform the Client Command for all the clients, mark all clients. With the Overwrite existing values checkbox you specify whether existing values should be overwritten.

 

Hinweis

Tip:

Before you retrieve the warranty information, check the Client Command and whether the selected Client Command is suitable for the client. If you do not activate Overwrite existing values, no new warranty information will be retrieved for clients that already have warranty information.
