  5. Click Save.

  6. In the Collect pane, click Add. Select the relevant System to collect data from when this task is executed.

    1. Optional: Select Stop on Error to instruct NIM to halt the entire sync task if an error occurs during an import of this system.

      Note

      Stopping on an error will cause NIM to mark the task as a failure, which can be used to send a notification event on a failed state. See more information about event notifications.

    2. Optional: Repeat step (6) to collect data from additional systems.

  7. In the Evaluate pane, select one of your existing Notification templates in the Send Evaluation Report Using Template dropdown.

  8. In the Execute pane, click Add. Select the relevant Job to include in the task.

    1. Optional: Select Stop on Error to instruct NIM to halt the entire sync task if an error occurs during processing of this job.

      Note

      Stopping on an error will cause NIM to mark the task as a failure, which can be used to send a notification event on a failed state. See more information about event notifications.

    2. Optional: Repeat step (8) to add additional jobs to this sync task.
