Run multiple discovery schedules from 1 UIM hub server

Issue/Introduction

We are planning to run scheduled discovery from CA UIM.

However we need to input multiple schedules using one hub Server.

From the console if we add multiple scopes using the same UIM hub server, we are unable to add different schedules for each scope, it is only letting us to add 1 schedule.
How do we configure this?

 

 

 

Environment

Release : All versions of UIM.

Component : UIM - DISCOVERY

Resolution

It is currently not possible and would be a feature request.

Schedule Discovery

Last Updated February 3, 2020

In the Schedule tab, you can schedule discovery to run in the future, and/or you can run discovery immediately. You can schedule either a single discovery run or recurring runs.

A scheduled discovery does not interrupt a discovery that is already running. If at the time a discovery run is scheduled another discovery run is in progress, the scheduled discovery is ignored.

If you select 

Run discovery now 

and discovery is in progress, the current discovery run is terminated and the new run is executed.

Follow these steps to start and/or schedule discovery:

• Leave the 

  Run discovery now

   check box selected unless you do not want to run discovery when you complete the Discovery Wizard.
• To schedule discovery, select the 

  Schedule discovery

   check box.
• Enter information in the date and time fields.

   

  The time field is in 24-hour format. The time is the local time of the user.
• To schedule recurring discovery runs, select the 

  Recurring every 

  check box, and enter the number of hours for the recurrence interval.
• Click 

  Finish 

  to complete the Discovery Wizard.
