To manage a post-discovery action failure on an NE

Purpose

Perform this procedure to do the following:

  • reset the script execution status for an NE

  • manually run the post-discovery action script against the NE

This action may be required after the script associated with a post-discovery action fails and the cause of the failure is corrected.

Note: Clearing the status also clears the associated alarm that is raised when post-discovery script execution fails.

Click on the Managed State tab.

  3. Select the script object in the navigation tree.

  4. Expand the Status and Script Results panels on the right side of the form to reveal the script execution information.
