@comunicaciones.datos, Unfortunately vCMP hosts cannot run iApps at all (as far as I know), so this cannot be adapted. If I have time I'll experiment to see if a vCMP host can run iCall scripts. If so, I might be able to devise a reasonable way to export a script to be imported to the vCMP host. Even if it is possible it would be a manual process to implement...which skirts around the entire premise. What I will say is that from my experience, things don't generally change much on vCMP hosts (not like they do on guests) so saving/storing a vCMP host's UCS Archive before and after each scheduled change is usually sufficient. Also, rebuilding a vCMP host from scratch is not nearly as onerous as rebuilding all the guests from scratch :)
