RingMaster Management Guide - Juniper Networks

Working with Network Plans
1. In the main RingMaster window, select File > Close or File > Exit. If the network plan has no
unsaved changes, the network plan is closed. Otherwise, go to the next step.
2. If there are unsaved changes, RingMaster displays a dialog asking whether you want to save
changes, discard them, or cancel the request to close the plan or exit the application.
Do one of the following:
❑ Select Apply to save the changes and close the plan.
❑ Select Discard to close the plan without saving the changes.
❑ Select Cancel to cancel the request to close the plan or exit the application, and continue
working with the plan.
Deleting a Plan
You can delete a network plan at any time.
You cannot delete the currently active plan. To delete the active plan, first use the Switch Plan page to
select another plan to be active, then delete the plan.
To delete a network plan:
1. Select Services > Plan Management to access the RingMaster Plan Management page.
2. Click Delete Plans in the left column to display the Delete Plans page.
3. Select one or more the network plans from the list.
4. Click Delete. The network plan is deleted.
Sharing a Plan
Since the RingMaster plan repository resides on a networked server (the host running RingMaster
Services), you can share access to network plans among hosts running the RingMaster Client.
When you make changes to a network plan, RingMaster locks the portion of the plan you are
modifying. Other RingMaster clients can open the network plan, but the lock prevents them from
modifying the part of the plan you are modifying. The lock remains in effect until your modification is
saved. RingMaster then removes the lock.
When a user with an administrator or provision account tries to access a part of a plan already locked
by another user, RingMaster displays a Lock Info page. This Lock Info page indicates who has
locked the network plan. You can optionally override a user’s lock. Note that only a user with
Administrator privileges can override another user’s lock.
To override another user’s lock:
1. Select Services > Lock Management to access the RingMaster Lock Information page.
A list of objects that are locked appears.
2. Select the object whose lock you want to delete and click Delete. (Only an Administrator can
delete a lock.)
3. A message is displayed indicating that the user whose lock you selected cannot save their
changes when you delete their lock. Click Yes to confirm that you want to do this.
If you override a lock, RingMaster unlocks the part of the plan that was locked, and notifies the other
RingMaster users about the lock change. From this point on, the former lock holder cannot save
changes to the previously locked portion of the plan.
By default, RingMaster sends a message to all users with the plan open to inform them when changes
are saved to a plan. In addition, RingMaster sends a message to each monitor user, so that one of
them can then edit the plan.
