The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

From the WAE Design GUI, you can extract.pln plan files from a remote WAE Automation server, make whatever modifications are necessary, and re-insert them to the remote server. It is important to note that these plan files are not stored with the plan files generated by WAE Collector.
The WAE Automation server contains the working plan file, which represents the current state of the network. It can also contain one or more staging areas, where each staging area enables you to work on plan files before deploying them.
Saving the plan file to the working area overwrites the existing plan file. This means that any newly discovered or recently modified plan files are overwritten. For this reason, if you are not deploying the plan file, it is a best practice to access a staging area.
Note It is strongly recommended that you verify a plan file before deploying it to the network.
$WAE_ROOT/software/wae-core/etc/com.cisco.wano.nsps.nbrs.cfg
file on the WAE Automation server must either have the authenticationEnabled property set to false, or you must know the values entered as the username and password properties. $WAE_ROOT
is the installation directory. On Linux, the default it is /opt/cariden
.
Step 1 Use the File menu to start the process.
Step 2 After opening the dialog box, enter or select the hostname or IP address of the server.
Step 3 Identify how to connect to the server by selecting the appropriate protocol and by entering or selecting the port number (for example, HTTP 7777).
Step 4 If the authentication is enabled, enter the same username and password.
Step 5 If using a staging area for this access, enter the stage ID number.
Step 6 If saving a plan file, select the operation, as follows, and then click OK.
Ensure Save Settings is enabled.
Click OK to exit. Upon being prompted for whether to continue, click Yes.
