Create Signature records on the production system

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

To create Signature records on the production system:

  1. Click Tailoring > Differential Upgrade > Differential Upgrade Wizard.
  2. Click Build Signatures.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Type the name of the system in the System Name text box. Remember the name because HPE Service Manager uses it in later steps.
  5. Click the drop-down list to choose an existing Patch record for the named system. Remember that there must be a Patch record for each system to be compared, and each Patch record must point to the same files and records.
  6. Browse to locate or define the Export Filename. This is an external file that will store the signature records.
  7. Optionally, click Signature RAD components for delete processing to delete all related RAD panel components.
  8. Click Run in background if you want background processing. If you run in background, Service Manager creates a schedule record and creates the unload when the schedule record runs. If you choose Run in background, do the following:
    • Click Repeat Daily to create signature records daily. This step is optional.
    • Click the drop-down list to choose the Date/Time to Run schedule for background processing.
  9. Click Next.

If the process runs in background, the unload file will reside on the server. If the process runs in foreground, the unload file location depends on whether you enable the Client Side Load/Unload option on the client. Processes running in foreground post progress messages in Active Notes, if that option is enabled.
