You have configured Avaya Aura Communication Manager (CM) as a Managed Element in Avaya Aura System Manager (SMGR), but discover that changes made to…

For Avaya Aura® System Manager (SMGR) to maintain a synchronized copy of the Communication Manager (CM) database, it must be notified when changes are made directly on CM using the System Administration Terminal (SAT). The "Inform SMGR Of SAT Changes" checkbox on the CM element's inventory screen enables this functionality. When checked, CM sends a notification to SMGR every time the save translations command is executed, triggering SMGR to pull the updated data and synchronize its database copy. If this box is unchecked, SMGR remains unaware of any out-of-band SAT changes.

B. Sync With SMGR: This is not the specific name of the configuration option. While the goal is synchronization, this label does not exist for this function in the SMGR interface.

C. Enable Notifications: This term is too generic. The SMGR interface has a specific, more descriptive option for SAT change notifications, distinguishing it from general system event or alarm notifications.

D. Send Updates To SMGR: This describes the action but is not the precise label of the checkbox in the SMGR administration interface. The correct and specific label is "Inform SMGR Of SAT Changes".

1. Avaya Aura® System Manager Documentation, "Administering Avaya Aura® System Manager," Release 8.1, Page 229.

In the section "Managing inventory > Communication Manager instance details," the guide describes the fields for configuring a CM element. It explicitly lists the "Inform SMGR of SAT changes" checkbox and its function: "Select this check box to enable Communication Manager to send a notification to System Manager when a user saves translations on Communication Manager by using the SAT interface. System Manager uses this notification to synchronize the data." This directly confirms that option A is the correct setting to resolve the issue described.

2. Avaya Aura® Communication Manager Documentation, "Administering Avaya Aura® Communication Manager," Release 8.1, Page 118.

In the section "Administering Communication Manager from System Manager," the document explains the relationship between the two systems. It notes that for SMGR to be the system of record, it must be aware of all changes. It reinforces that the notification mechanism for SAT changes must be enabled on the CM element within the SMGR inventory for proper data synchronization.
