Regenerating Device Instructions
The Regenerate button or API operation force immediate regeneration of instructions for the device.
These instructions are sent to the DPEs in the device's provisioning group. Normally, the process of
regenerating the instruction is automatically triggered following changes to device, Class of Service, or
other such impacting changes.
However, after a change to a Class of Service, the system takes time to regenerate instructions for all
devices. This button can be used to expedite regeneration of instructions for a given device. This may be
desirable during proactive troubleshooting.
Device instructions are automatically regenerated whenever:
• A file related to a Class of Service, that is, a template, is updated.
• The default Class of Service for a device type is changed.
• The provisioning group object is changed using the administrator user interface or the API.
• The Class of Service object properties are changed.
• The DPE sends a configuration regeneration request to the RDU.
• The device properties or relationship is updated.
