To schedule or trigger a security or compliance scan on one or more target devices from the HPCA Console, you must create a job for those devices. When a job created with the Security Connect job action template runs, all services in the SECURITY domain to which these devices are entitled are executed.
To create a job to schedule or trigger a scan:
From the drop-down menu for the device or group that you want to scan, select Create a Job to open the job creation wizard.
In the wizard, required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
From the Job Type list, select either DTM or Notify.
In a DTM job, the agents on the target devices connect to the HPCA Core server to get a list of jobs and then execute those jobs when the job timers expire. A DTM job is most appropriate when you want to set up a regular scanning schedule for these devices.
In a Notify job, the HPCA Core server asks agent to perform the scan. A Notify job is most appropriate when you want certain target devices to perform a single scan at a specific time – or immediately.
Specify the schedule for the job. See Schedules for more information.
DTM jobs can be executed either once or on a regular schedule. Notify jobs can only be executed once, so many of the schedule settings are disabled on this page of the wizard.
