Product Overview
CiscoWorks Common Services (Common Services) represents a common set of management services that are shared by CiscoWorks applications. CiscoWorks is a family of products based on Internet standards for managing networks and devices. All CiscoWorks products use and depend on Common Services.
Common Services provides a foundation for CiscoWorks applications to share a common model for data storage, login, user role definitions, access privileges, security protocols, as well as navigation. It creates a standard user experience for all management functions.
It also provides the common framework for all basic system level operations such as installation, data management including backup-restore and import-export, event and message handling, job and process management.
The CD- ROM that contains Common Services 3.0.3 also includes the following components:
