(1) Number of result lines to display

Number of result lines to display specifies the number of items to be displayed in the list of search results. This setting is applicable to a window in which the search results are not displayed in pages.

Specification of this item is optional.

(2) Show number column

Show number column specifies whether or not to display in the operation window the show number column for specifying the number of search result items that are to be displayed per page. This setting is applicable to a window used for executing a search in which the search results are displayed in pages.

(3) Number of search results displayed on a page

Number of search results displayed on a page specifies the number of items to be displayed in the list of search results. This setting is applicable to a window in which the search results are displayed in pages.

Specification of this item can be omitted.

(4) Trash group ID for deletions

If a group is deleted, a group called Trash is automatically created in order to temporarily save the user information that had been registered to the deleted group. In Trash group ID for deletions, set the group ID for Trash.

Specification of this item is optional.

(5) Trash location ID for deletions

When a location is deleted, a location called Trash is created automatically to save the deleted location temporarily. Trash location ID for deletions specifies the location ID for Trash.

The setting for this item can be omitted.

(6) Settings for a group that uses a group-specific IP group

Setting for a group that uses a group-specific IP group specifies whether or not to set a group that uses devices according to the IP address. To register IP address-specific groups, use the IP Group job menu. Groups are set according to the IP addresses of the hardware asset information.

This setting takes effect when the Asset Information Synchronous Service service and the Take inventory and Data maintenance tasks are executed. To enable the setting when executing the Data maintenance task, you must modify the settings file (taskopt.ini). For details about how to modify the settings file, see 10.7.2(2) Creating a settings file.

Note
If Set is selected, but the value of user inventory or the value entered in the Device Details dialog box has already been set, the value is not overwritten.
Therefore, to set group-specific IP groups for all devices, first use the Batch Update job menu to delete the values for all groups. Also use the Assign Inventory job menu to set Overwrite setting for Group information.Local name to Overwrite (not overwritten if NULL or N/A) or use the Data maintenance task to overwrite. For details about how to specify settings with the Data maintenance task, see 10.7.2 Specifying the work to be performed by the Data maintenance task.

(7) Settings for a location that uses a location-specific IP group

Settings for a location that uses a location-specific IP group specifies whether to set up IP address-specific locations as device locations. To register IP address-specific locations, use the IP Group job menu. Locations are set according to the IP addresses of the hardware asset information.

This setting takes effect when the Asset Information Synchronous Service service and the Take inventory and Data maintenance tasks are executed. To enable the setting when executing the Data maintenance task, you must modify the settings file (taskopt.ini). For details about how to modify the settings file, see 10.7.2 Specifying the work to be performed by the Data maintenance task.

Note
If Set is selected but the value obtained from the user inventory or the value entered in the Device Details dialog box has already been set, the value is not overwritten. Therefore, to set location-specific IP groups for all devices, first use the Batch Update job menu to delete the values for all locations. Also make sure that Overwrite setting for location-information.location-name in the Assign Inventory job menu is set to Overwrite (Not overwritten if NULL or N/A.).
Reference note
Even when the value acquired from the user inventory or the value entered in the Device Details dialog box has been set, you can use the Data maintenance task to update the location according to the settings specified using the IP Group job menu. For details about how to specify settings with the Data maintenance task, see 10.7.2 Specifying the work to be performed by the Data maintenance task.

(8) Number of search results acquired for the operation log

Number of search results acquired for the operation log specifies the number of operation log entries to be searched for each table of the managing server in order to prevent too much time being spent on search processing.

This value cannot be left empty even when operation logs are not managed.

(9) Warning about the operation log list search period

Warning about the operation log list search period specifies a range of time for issuing a warning about the amount of time spent in search processing in the Operation Log List job menu and the Operation Log List window in order to prevent too much time from being expended on a search. If the time from Search period (start) to Search period (end) exceeds the value of this item, a warning is displayed. If 0 is specified in this item, no warning is displayed.

This value cannot be left empty even when operation logs are not managed.

(10) Hierarchy levels to display when tracing

Hierarchy levels to display when tracing specifies the number of hierarchies to be displayed when the back or forward icon is selected while operations are being traced in the Operation Log List job menu and the Operation Log List window.

This value cannot be left empty even when operation logs are not managed.

(11) Settings for trace time range

Settings for trace time range specifies the range of time that is to be treated as the same time when operations on a client via the network are traced in the Operation Log List job menu and the Operation Log List window.

This value cannot be left empty even when operation logs are not managed.

(12) Status to display in device search windows

Status to display in device search windows specifies the device statuses to be displayed in Status in the Device Totals window and the Device List window.

(13) Manage device change log information

Manage device change log information selects how to manage the managed device's initial change log. We recommend selecting Do not manage in order to improve performance when acquiring inventory information from JP1/Software Distribution.
