How to Schedule Tasks in ASA?

[glenng3]

It looks like it should be simple to schedule the Trunk Analyzer task in ASA 3.1.13, but I'm not having any luck. I scheduled it to run once a day. The scroll at the bottom of the window said the command failed because an automatic login connection is required. I changed ASA to log in automatically, but then the error message said "No ports available." Then I tried checking the box to "run now." That seems to have overwritten the "no ports available" message with:

"Repeated task 'Trunk Analyzer' shows no record of execution at its last scheduled time."

There doesn't appear to be any documentation that tells how to get this working. Following tips on this forum, I've tried leaving ASA running with the terminal emulator window closed. Still no luck. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.

Thanks, AvayaTier3, that link is helpful. Some other things I found that might help the next person:

- Unlike some of the other scheduled tasks, the Trunk Analyzer does not produce an entry in the History scroll when it runs a successful data collection.
- At the bottom of the Avaya Site Administration window, there are three tabs, History, Schedule and Connection Status. In order to run a scheduled task, the Connection Status tab should show that ASA is connected and the status is Idle.
- If ASA is not connected, pull down the System menu and click Connect.
- Context-sensitive Help in ASA seems to be the best documentation for scheduling tasks. Perversely, you have to have some idea what you are doing to get to a screen where you can access the context-sensitive help!
