Changes from RME 3.x to RME 4.x

---

This section provides information about the changes in RME 4.0.3 compared to RME 3.5.

The following describes the major changes in RME 4.0.3:

•To add devices in RME, you have to first add the devices in Common Services and then add the devices to RME from Common Services.

The workflow for adding the devices in RME is:

a. Add devices to Common Services using Common Services > Device and Credentials > Device Management.

b. Devices get automatically added to RME.

If you have disabled the Automatically Manage Devices from Credential Repository option in the Device Management Settings window (Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Device Mgmt > Device Management Settings), you can add devices manually to RME using the RME Devices window (Resource Manager Essentials > Devices > Device Management > RME Devices).

•You can select the check device credentials at time of adding devices to RME using Device Management Settings window (Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Device Mgmt > Device Management Settings) and select Verify Device Credentials During Import.

You can set the device credentials that need to be verified at the time of adding devices to RME using Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Device Mgmt > Device Credential Verification Settings.

The supported device credentials in Common Services 3.0.3 is:

Table B-1 RME 3.5 Device Credentials Mapped to CS 3.0.3 Device Credentials

RME 3.5	Common Services 3.0.3
RO community string	snmp_v2_ro_comm_string
RW community string	snmp_v2_rw_comm_string
Serial Number	Not used in CSV 3.0
Telnet password	primary_password
Enable password	primary_enable_password
Enable secret	primary_enable_password
Tacacs user	primary_username
Tacacs password	primary_password
Tacacs enable user	Not used in CSV 3.0
Tacacs enable password	primary_enable_password
Local user	primary_username
Local password	primary_password
rcp user	Not used in CSV 3.0
rcp password	Not used in CSV 3.0

The order of preference used to set these values in CSV 3.0 is:

–If Tacacs username, password, enable password is set, then these values will be set as primary_username, primary_password and primary_enable_password.

–If Local username and password is set, then the values will be set as primary_username and primary_password.

–If Telnet password, Enable Password, and Enable Secret are set, then the values will be set as primary_password, and primary_enable_password (for both Enable Password, and Enable Secret).

•The Software Management tasks Browse bugs by device and Locate devices by bugs is now part of Bug Toolkit application. You can generate these reports using Resource Manager Essentials > Reports > Generator.

•You can generate various reports for these applications in a centralized location using Reports tab:

–Audit Trail (New for RME 4.0.3)

–Bug Toolkit (Moved from Software Management application)

–Change Audit

–Inventory

–Syslog

•In Config Editor, earlier you had to checkout files and lock them for editing. In RME 4.0.3 editing of configuration files simultaneously is supported. You do not have to check out files. Also, there is no locking of config files.

•In RME 4.0.3, the following config editor labels are changed:

–Diffs-only is known as Overwrite

–Download is known as Deploy

•The syntax for handling interactive commands has changed from:

CLI Command<R>command response 1 <R>command response 2

to

#INTERACTIVE

command1<R>response1<R>response2

command2<R>response1<R>response2<R>response3 

command3<R>response1 

command4<R>response1<R>response2

#ENDS_INTERACTIVE

•In 3.x you could view the list of checked out files by selecting Resource Manager Essentials > Configuration Management > Config Editor > Tools > List Checked Out Files. In RME 4.0.3, the checked out files are referred to as private files. You can view private files using RME > Config Mgmt > Config Editor.

•The Data Extracting Engine (DEE) is now part of common CWCLI framework. You can use the cwcli export command to generate the Inventory and Configuration data in XML format. In addition to this, you can also export Change Audit data.

•The Logrot utility is now part of Common Services. For more information, see User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services.

•You can set the HTTP Proxy, SMTP Server, CiscoWorks E-mail ID, and RCP User using Common Services > Server > Admin > System Preferences.

•Availability application is not supported in RME 4.0.3.

The changes in the navigation for all RME applications are described in the following tables:

•Inventory Tasks

•Device View Tasks

•Configuration Management Archive-Specific Tasks

•NetConfig Tasks

•Config Editor Tasks

•Data Extracting Engine (DEE)

•Software Management Tasks
