5.3.2.2 Synchronizing with the DCR
Operations Manager uses CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0 as its application
framework. The Device and Credentials Repository (DCR), a function of CiscoWorks
Common Services 3.0, is a common repository of devices, their attributes, and their
credentials required to manage devices in a management domain. The DCR lets you share
device information among various network management applications.
For example, the device credentials can be shared between:
• Multiple instances of Operations Manager
• Instances of Operations Manager and any CiscoWorks applications running on

For example, the device credentials can be shared between:

To share the device credentials, the DCR server can run in Master mode, Slave mode, or
Standalone mode. You can change mode through the user interface or the DCR
command-line interface.
