LMS 4.2.1 Netconfig job CLI output empty

Question

Hi,
I have run a netconfig jobs in LMS 4.2.1 with these settings:
Task Details
Task: AdhocCommands
show interface status
Devices
switch-1
switch-2
switch-3
Task: AdhocCommands
show versionDevices
-----------switch-1
switch-2
switch-3
After running the job the "Device Details" of the jobs say "Successful Devices" for all three switches:
"Deploy successful (Primary Login Succeeded   / Primary Enable Succeeded  )"
For the devices switch-1 and switch-2 I get the desired output:
CLI Output
show interface status
Port      Name               Status       Vlan       Duplex  Speed Type
Gi1/1     noz Gi2/17         connected    trunk        full   1000 1000BaseSX
Gi1/2                        notconnect   1            full   1000 1000BaseSX
Gi2/1                        notconnect   1            auto   auto 10/100/1000-TX
But for switch-3 the output is empty:
switch-3
*** Device Details for switch-3                          ***
Protocol ==>                             SSH
Device was successfully                             updated.
Template ==>                                  Adhoc_IOS
CLI Output
Template ==>                                  Adhoc_IOS
CLI Output
Any ideas why there is no output although the job is successful?

You Seems to be using incorrect module of ciscoworks to do this. You are using NetConfig.
Netconfig is one of the Configuration Management applications, and it allows you to change the configuration of network devices, provided the configurations are archived. Netconfig automatically updates the archive when it changes the configuration. When you use it it will try to execute the commands to configure on device and would not be interested in collecting the output.
For show commands you should use the NetShow (Nwtwork Show) module. Network show (NetShow) commands represent a set of read-only commands. These are primarily, show commands that you can run on devices that are managed in LMS.
You can specify the commands that you want to group together and then run these commands on one or many devices. The output is displayed in a browser window.
For more details see the Using NetShow Commands section of Monitoring and Troubleshooting with Cisco Prime LAN Managmement Solution 4.2 guide.
