View and Manage Retrieve Results

Use this page to display the results of AIX Profile Manager retrieve actions. On this page, you can perform the following tasks:
  • View details of a retrieve action
  • Delete retrieve results from the Director server
  • Import retrieve results from your file system to be included in the retrieve results view
  • Export retrieve results in a serialized file on your file system

Each retrieve result is valid only for one system. If a retrieve action is launched for several systems or groups, one retrieve result line is generated for each selected system or each system managed by AIX Profile Manager belonging to the selected groups.

Actions

View
Display the detailed result of the Retrieve action. If the status of the action is OK, opens the Retrieve details page that displays the result values for all catalogs or for all parameters in the catalog. If the status of the action is Error, opens a window that displays the error message returned by the command on the system. Only one result can be selected for this action.
Delete Retrieve Results
Delete one or more retrieve results from your server.
Save as Profile
Open a window to save the selected result of a retrieve action into an AIX Profile Manager profile. A profile saved is visible in the profiles view of the AIX Profile Manager plug-in and thus, can be deployed later on other systems. Only one result can be selected for this action.
Import Retrieve Results
