I am quoting from the LMS 3.2 Deployment Guide:
What’s New: Generic Device Support in RME
Day one device support for network management applications is a continuing challenge. As new hardware platforms
come to market, device support may be lagging. The CiscoWorks Incremental Device Update team announces
availability of a new "automated" update tool, providing device support for inventory and configuration functionality
within Resource Manager Essentials. This tool allows customers to quickly get support for new hardware platforms
where complete device package support through the Incremental Device Update program has not yet been
delivered. This new tool can be downloaded from
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cw2000-rme and
installed on the LMS 3.01, 3.1, and 3.2 code base. The following features are enabled for devices using the
automated update tool:
Device Management in RME:
The Device Manageability Status Report provides details as to whether the device is officially supported or
managed using automatic IDU.
Inventory Management in RME:
◦
System-, port-, memory-, Flash-, and bridge-related information will be queried using Entity or the OCCM
MIB.
◦
Support for CDA will be provided.
●
Config Management in RME:
◦
Sync archive using CLI and TFTP protocols
◦
Ad-hoc template in NetConfig deployment
◦
Partial NetShow if MDF association is available
◦
Raw mode in version summary and version tree
◦
Partial out-of-sync summary and compare configuration
◦
Config Editor support for editing in raw mode only
An announcement regarding similar support capability in Campus Manager and Device Fault Manager will be sent
when it becomes available.
Solved! Go to Solution.

This isn't a tool. It's just another RME device package. The goal of this package is to provide generic inventory and config support to devices which may not be fully supported by RME yet. For example, if you are trying to manage one of the new AP1140s in RME 4.3.1 (where no specific support exists), you will still be able to get Cisco inventory and perform config collection.

You can go to Common Services > Software Center > Device Update, click the the RME link, and search for GenericDev. If you find it, then you have the package installed. For any device which has a sysObjectID which RME doesn't recognize with a specific package, this package will be tried instead.
If you find that the package is not already installed, perform a device update for RME, and download and install all available device packages.

I have not heard of any dates. It may not get introduced until LMS 4.0.

I searched the RME device packages and could not detect what package is this.
Is this package automactically loaded when we run Dvice Update for RME?
How I can assure that this package is installed and being used for any specific device model?

OK
Do you know when this same functionality for the otther app, DFM and Campus will be available?
