User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services

These pre-defined groups come under the Provider group (or the root group),
which, by default, is of the format CS@hostname. This Provider group is the
parent of all Common Services groups found in the server.
You can change the Provider group name by changing the CiscoWorks Home Page
Server Name. This can be configured at Common Services > HomePage >
Settings. See
“Setting Up CiscoWorks Homepage” section on page 2-12
, for
details.
You have to restart Daemon Manager after you change the Home page Server
name, for the Provider group name change to take effect. After this, the Provider
group name will be of the format CS@Homepage Server Name.
You can see these groups in Device and Credential Admin (DCA) and Device
Center, and perform operations on the members of the group.
JIT groups are created based on the device types that are currently available in
DCR. If all devices belonging to a single MDF type are deleted, the corresponding
JIT group also gets deleted.
Common Groups and Shared Groups
Common group is the Common Services (CS) groups that are seen in the Groups
UIs of Applications. Shared groups are the application groups other than the
application's local group, that can be seen from the Common Services, and Groups
UIs of Applications.
You have read-only access on shared groups. You can:
•
Check group details
•
Refresh group
To perform any operation on CS groups, you have to invoke the Groups UI from
Common Services. From the Common Services Group Admin UI, you cannot
perform create, edit, and delete operations on Application Groups.
For example, if you have a machine on which Common Services, RME, and
Campus Manager are installed. If you invoke the Groups UI from Common
Services, you can see three provider groups. They are:
•
CS@hostname
•
RME@hostname
•
Campus@hostname
