Automatic RME Inventory?

[yjdabear]

Is it possible to schedule periodic Hardware/Software reports and have the output written to disk. I poked around in RME => Inventory and RME => Admin => Inventory, but all I found was ad hoc reports that must be done manually. I want to get reports generated overnight without human intervention.

DEE CLI can be looked at for this. See: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/cscowork/ps2073/products_white_paper09186a008011809a.shtml

The new version of RME in LMS 2.5 allows reports to be scheduled and generated automatically. Take a look at the link below. I'm copying the Q and A as well.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Q. Does CiscoWorks RME collect and store detailed device information?

A. Yes. The CiscoWorks REM Inventory Manager can be scheduled to collect device information (for example, RAM, Flash memory, cards, image version, etc.) and store the information in the CiscoWorks RME. This information can be retrieved as reports or can be exported through an Extensible Markup Language (XML) application.

Q. Can reports be scheduled?

A. Yes. The Inventory Manager allows you to schedule reports, as well as run the reports on a periodic basis.
