This question is more for US based systems, not sure if Assistant is used in the IM versions. Anyway the HP4K does a nightly sync in Assistant to sync it's database with RMX so you can do changes. I personally spend 99.9% more time in command line since I have training and experience with the Hicom/Hipath since '91 in the US market. I have been trying to locate a file or someplace in UnixWare where the timestamp that determines this sync job is defined. Not much luck with that. Some sites under my care do this sync job at 00:00 hrs and some kick off at 01:00 hrs. Some sites don't kick off the sync job at all and this requires the job to be started manually in Assistant-Configuration Management which works unless there are other issues at play. Any of the ex-Siemens wizards from Munich or Bulgaria might know where this is defined or tell me to forget it, Maybe it's buried in a binary exe file and I can't manage this at all. Configuration Management is the GUI used if you don't know RMX/AMO command line. A strange beast since the developers apparently didn't get much interaction with the teams that developed the AMOS since they don't have a lot of common naming conventions between them. Thanks for any info.
