Deployment tasks
BIMS provides a unified task management center, where the authorized users can query tasks,
view the CPE execution result — completed number and uncompleted number (unknown), view
the execution status and details of each task, and copy/modify/delete a task. With the task
management center, the administrator does not need to move around all equipment rooms. In this
way, the task management center reduces the work load of operation engineers, and improves
their working efficiency.
In the deployment task list, authorized users can modify, copy, or delete a deployment task. Click
a task in the Task Name column to view the details of the task. Click a task in the Task Status -
Operation Result column to view the execution status of the task.
NOTE: Only system administrators and network maintenance technicians can modify, copy,
delete, immediately execute, suspend, and resume a deployment task. All those authorized to log
in to the system can query tasks and view the details and execution status of the tasks.
You can perform the deployment tasks described below.
