Understanding Inventory Scanning Cycle
The Inventory scanning cycle is as follows:
- The Inventory scanner checks whether an updated dictionary is available at its Inventory server and downloads the updated dictionary.
- The Inventory scanner sends hardware and software information from the inventoried servers to the Inventory server as per the scan schedule.
- The Inventory server stores the inventory information in the Inventory database.
- At the management console, you can view and retrieve the inventory information from the Inventory database using Inventory tools such as Reporting, Summary, etc.
