The RunDefinition.exe utility checks the specified folder for the newFiles.txt file, and if it exists, it imports the latest asset models in that folder. This import should be scheduled to run after the 15th of each month at least two hours after the download of the latest Patch Management asset model. This time delay helps to make sure the file has been downloaded and transferred before the utility attempts to import it.

To schedule importing the latest patch management asset model:

  1. On the ICS Integrity server, click Windows Start, type Task, and then click Task Scheduler to open Windows Task Scheduler.

  2. Schedule the RunDefinition.exe utility, located by default in the InstallPath\DataCollector folder, to run after the 15th of each month and import the latest Patch Management asset model by completing the following steps:

    1. In the Task Scheduler window, click Action > Create Task.

    2. Type a Name for the task and set the various other settings you want to use.

    3. On the General tab, select the following options:

      • Run whether user is logged on or not

      • Do not store password

      • Run with highest privileges

      • Hidden

    4. On the Triggers tab, click New.

    5. Set the schedule options to run after the 15th of each month, and then click OK.

    6. On the Actions tab, click New.

    7. Set Action to Start a program.

    8. Set Program/script to the path and file name for the RunDefinition.exe utility.

      The path and file name must be enclosed in quotation marks.

    9. Set Add arguments to "ImportAssetModel|path", and then click OK. path identifies the folder where the latest patch management asset model file is transferred by the FTPDownload.exe utility.

      Each asset model must be in its own folder. Use a separate folder for the patch management asset model, such as "InstallPath\DataCollector\Asset Models\PAS PM". The path and file name must be enclosed in quotation marks.

    10. Set Start in to the path and folder where the RunDefinition.exe utility is stored, and then click OK.
