Workstation Scan Configuration

Use this property page to:

File Name
Scanfile
Displays the scan filename of the last scan done at the workstation.

The Scanner stores the scan data of the workstation as a scan data file (.STR) in the Scan directory (SCANDIR) on the inventory server. The .STR file uses the following filename conventions: macAddress_gmt_sequencenumber.STR where macAddress is the MAC address of the workstation, gmt is the time that the workstation was first scanned, sequencenumber is the internal sequencing number generated by the scanner for the workstation while scanning, and .STR is the file extension.

For example, 00508b12b2c4_944029836000_10.STR is the .STR file for a workstation with a MAC address of 00508b12b2c4, a GMT of 944029836000, and an internal sequencing number of 10.
Scan Configuration
Start Full Scan
If the status log reported by the inventory component indicates that the scanning on the workstation was not successful, you can enforce a full scan.

When scanning the workstation for the first time, the scanner collects the complete inventory, which is referred to as a full scan. The next time the workstation is scanned, the scanner compares the current inventory data to the history data that it maintains. If there are any changes to the workstation, the scanner creates a delta scan, which collects the changes in inventory since the last scan was reported. The delta scan setting is the default scan operation for each successive scan after the first scanning of the workstation.
