Cisco Cisco Workload Automation 6.3 Guida Utente

Getting Started

Understanding the Transporter Interface



– Displays a dialog in which you specify the directories of two different versions of exported data, and 

then creating a third directory that contains only the delta files that are different between the two exports.



Export/Import Mode OR Transport Mode 

– Let’s you toggle between the main Transporter functionality and the 

export/import functionality.

Help Menu

The Help menu provides information on the version of the Transporter and how to use the application. Selecting this 
option launches your default Web browser and allows you to search for a topic. This menu contains the following options:



– Displays the splash screen for the Transporter. The version number of the Transporter is displayed here.



– Displays the online help system. You can search for a topic from the Help system’s table of contents or 

use the Search or Index features. 

Toolbar/Buttons 

The toolbar provides one-click access to some of the most frequently used features during a Transporter session. The 
buttons are arranged from left-to-right in approximately the same sequence needed during a typical session. The 
buttons duplicate the same options that are available in the main menu but provide more convenient access. The buttons 
and their purpose are:



 Source 

– Launches the CWA Web Client in your default Web browser for the selected source.



 Destination 

– Launches the CWA Web Client in your default Web browser for the selected destination.



 Connections

 – Displays the Connections dialog. This dialog is used to create and modify existing 

connections to source and destination Clients using connection files.



 Connect

 – Establishes a connection to the items selected in the Source and Destination fields. Once 

the connection is established, the button changes to Disconnect and when clicked ends the connection. Clicking 
this button is the same as selecting the Connect option in the File menu. (A complete refresh of all data objects is 
accomplished during a session by disconnecting and reconnecting.)



 Disconnect

 – Ends the connection to the items selected in the Source and Destination fields. Once 

the connection ends, the Disconnect option is unavailable. Only the Connect option is available. Clicking the 
Disconnect button on the toolbar is the same as selecting the Disconnect option. (A complete refresh of all data 
objects is accomplished during a session by disconnecting and reconnecting to the source and destination.)



 Read Data

 – Reads the object data for the definitions from the selected source and destination. Clicking 

the Read Data button is the same as selecting the Read Data option from the File menu.



 Start Transfer

 – Begins the data transporting process between the selected source and destination. 

(Job transports provide for interactive mapping by transporting individual jobs or job groups.) 

Clicking the Start Transfer button is the same as selecting the Start Transfer option in the Transport menu. 

For Job transports, an individual job or job group can also be transported by dragging and dropping a source job 

or job group to a destination group. Be careful not to drop the job inside the wrong job group in the destination 
inadvertently.)



 Filter

 – Displays the Job Filter dialog that provides various filter criteria for filtering of jobs/groups that are 

displayed at the source. 

Clicking the Filter button is the same as selecting the Filter option in the Search menu.



 Mappings

 – Displays the Scheduler Object Mapping dialog where the various objects from the source can 

be associated with corresponding destination objects.
