You can define administrative tasks for the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS). A task consists in sending an action automatically at a defined time. Examples of such actions include creating a database backup (for embedded databases only) or removing unused firmware files. Tasks can be repeated at intervals or on specific days of the week.

To avoid problems with UMS performance and with backup restoring (see Restoring a Backup), it is highly recommended to use administrative tasks to automatically clean up logs – logging data, job execution data, execution data of administrative tasks, process events, asset information history. For details, see Performance Optimizations in IGEL UMS and IGEL UMS Maintenance Tasks. |
