1. Expand the Configuration Manager slider and click Configuration tools and select Global Parameters.
2. Click the Admin tab and click Add in the Work orders table.
3. In the Settings tab, configure the following parameters:

   Name	The work order name, which is an alphanumeric value from 1 to 24 characters in length with no spaces.
   Scheduled check box	Check the check box to enable the Start date and time field to schedule when the global parameter work order starts.
   Start date and time field	Select a start date by clicking the calendar icon and specify time entries in the Time fields by selecting the hour, minute and second respectively by typing the numbers in the text box or using the arrows.
   Run device tasks concurrently check box	Check the check box to run global parameter work order tasks at the same time multiple device group tasks are updated concurrently. If you select this check box the Error policy and Behavior fields cannot be configured.
   Error policy drop-down list	Error policies that determine how errors are handled when they occur during the execution of your global parameter work order. Select from the following error policies you want to apply to this global parameter work order: Log and proceed—(Default) The targeted device that experiences the error is rolled back to its original configuration state and the work order proceeds to the next targeted device in the work order list. Stop—The targeted device that experienced the error is rolled back to its original configuration state and the work order stops. You must manually resume, or abort, the work order. Stop and rollback—All targeted devices are stopped until the error is rolled back, devices are returned to their original configuration state, and the work order stops.
   Behavior drop-down list	This drop-down list is disabled by default which means that this parameter is set to Automatic. Select from the following behaviors to apply to this work order: Automatic (default)—The software upgrade or global parameter changes proceeds on each targeted device without requiring intervention. Device-level—The software upgrade or global parameter changes pause after each targeted device finishes updating. You must manually continue to the next targeted device listed in the work order. Note: If an error occurs during the work order execution, the behavior is controlled by the error policy.
   Auto commit check box	When a work order completes, but is not committed, it retains a lock on all its targeted devices so that no other operations can be performed on them until the work order is successfully committed and its devices are unlocked. The check box is disabled by default, which means the work order must be manually committed from the work order. Check the check box to automatically commit the global parameter work order after the execution of the work order.

4. Select the Device groups tab and click Add in the Device groups table.
5. In the Select Device dialog box, expand a device folder in the Managed devices table, select a device row, and click Add.
6. The device, its network function and folder structure moves to the Targeted devices table and the folder structure is collapsed.

   Note:

   A work order has the following limitations:

   • A work order is limited to one platform and software version at a time.
   • In the case of a high-availability (HA) device pair, the work order is applied to both devices.
   • All devices must have the same platform, software version, and same redundancy type (HA or standalone).
7. Repeat the previous steps to add additional targeted devices.

   Note:

   Device filtering is applied after the first device is selected.
8. Click OK. The devices appear in the Device groups and Devices tables.
9. Click the Global parameter changes tab.
10. Click the ellipsis (...) icon next to the Global configuration field to select your global parameter configuration.

    Note:

    A global parameter configuration must have the same software version and platform as the selected devices.
11. In the Select global configuration dialog box, select the global parameter configuration you want to assign to this global parameter work order and click OK.
    The Global configuration field populates with the global parameter configuration you selected and the Version number field displays its software version.
12. Click Apply.
13. In the success dialog box, click OK.
    The global parameter work order appears in Work orders table.

Load a global parameter configuration for storing global parameter changes.

1. Expand the Configuration Manager slider and click Global parameters.
2. In the GP Config tab, select a global parameter configuration from the table and click Load.
   Once the global parameter configuration loads, the global parameter configuration name appears below the Global parameters icon. Any configurations made under this folder are contained in the global parameter configuration, and applied to targeted devices through a work order.

   Note:

   The global parameter configuration name also appears at the top of the content area when it is loaded.

Use this task to specify a criteria for one or more element attributes to which you want to apply changes on your targeted devices before you execute the global parameter work order. If there is only one attribute for a system-wide element, no criteria needs to be specified for the global parameter work order.

1. Expand the Configuration Manager slider and click Global parameters.
2. Click the Admin tab and select the global parameter work order, which contains the global parameter configuration for which you specify the criteria, from the Work orders table.
3. Click Edit.
4. Click the Global parameters changes tab and select the element name for which you want to specify criteria and click Set criteria.
5. In the Set criteria dialog box, click Add.
6. In the Add criteria dialog box, enter the CLI attribute name.

   Note:

   The Add criteria dialog box automatically prompts you for the exact attributes that make up the primary key for the selected type of configuration element attribute. The element attribute is specified by using whatever “key” attribute values are appropriate for its type. For example, the key for a session agent is hostname.
7. Enter the specific criteria needed.

   Note:

   You must know which values are considered valid for the particular attribute for which you are setting a criteria.
8. Click OK. The criteria is added to the Criteria column in the Configuration table.
9. Check the Apply change to all instances check box to apply the criteria that you add to all element attributes of this multiple element.
10. Click OK.
11. Repeat the previous steps if you want to set multiple criteria element attributes.
12. Click Apply.
13. In the success dialog box, click OK.

Once the software upgrade work order is created and its configuration is applied, it can be executed manually (unless you previously scheduled a start date and time for it to execute).

1. Expand the Configuration Manager slider and click Global parameters.
2. Click the Admin tab.
3. In the Work orders table, select the work order you want to execute and click Start.
4. In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
5. Click Refresh to confirm the status changes for your global parameter work order from Not Scheduled to Running.

After a global parameter work order is executed, it must be committed to unlock the targeted devices that are associated with the global parameter work order. A global parameter work order is committed manually if the Auto commit check box is unchecked in the global parameter work order.

1. Expand the Configuration Manager slider and click the Admin tab.
2. In the Work orders table, select the work order you want to commit and click Commit. A confirmation dialog box appears.
3. In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
4. Click Refresh to confirm the work order status changed from Success to Committed.
