Monitoring requests to the centralized installation manager (CIM) for previous versions

After you submit one or more requests to the centralized installation manager (CIM), you can monitor the progress of and view specific details about each installation and uninstallation request.

About this task

In the administrative console, the Installations in Progress and Installation History panels provide you with information on the status of the installation and uninstallation requests that you submit to the centralized installation manager for processing. However, each panel provides you with different options for using that information to monitor and manage your requests. The Installations in Progress panel provides you with options to view and monitor the progress of each request. You can also cancel any pending requests from this panel. From the Installation History panel, you can monitor the completion status, delete the history records, and access the error messages and log files of each completed request.

What to do next

Return to the Available Installations page to resubmit a canceled or failed request, or submit a new request to the CIM.

In the case of certain failed requests, you might need to correct the error on the remote workstations before resubmitting the requests. For installations that are partially successful, examine the logs to correct the problem. You can manually complete the remaining installation steps. With this option, you do not need to resubmit the requests. Alternatively, if the failure state of the request is closer to the starting state, you can return the workstation to the starting state before you resubmit the requests.
