Requirements for Pre-Collected Files Adapter
The Pre-Collected Files Adapter has the following requirements:
• Input files must be placed in the following input file directory for the Pre-Collected Files Adapter:
/data1/riverbed/NetIM/op_admin/tmp/vne/Input
Files may be placed in subdirectories (for example, by device or by type) within the specified input directory, but this is not required. For example you may put all of the configuration files in a subdirectory named Input/Configs.
Perform the following procedure to import precollected device configuration files using the Pre-Collected Files Adapter.

9. Schedule the Pre-Collected Files Chain to run on a regular basis. Schedule the frequency based on how often the input files are updated. For example, if new input files are provided on a weekly basis, schedule this chain to run every week after the files are updated.
You must copy new input files into this directory on a regular basis to keep NetIM up to date.
During the scheduled collection (set in the Basic Setup wizard), NetIM will import your precollected configuration files.
