78.3 Viewing the Roll-Up History of the Server

The Roll-Up Status reports the status of the roll-up information from the server that initiated the roll-up of information. For example, if your inventory setup consists of a Leaf Server that initiates the roll-up of information to the next-level Root Server, the Roll-Up log displays the roll-up history of the Leaf Server.

If the roll-up of information is across trees, the Roll-Up log might fail to display the roll-up history of the next-level servers. To view the Roll-Up log, you must explicitly log into all trees from the inventoried workstation where you are running ConsoleOne and view the Roll-Up log.

The inventory components of the server (Sender, Receiver, and Storer) write the roll-up information in the Roll-Up Status. For example, you view the Roll-Up log to determine whether there were any errors during roll-up of inventory information from the server. This log also displays the most recent storage time of the inventory information that was stored in the database on the topmost level server (Root Server). This log displays the history of the ten previous roll-up sessions done from the current server and the roll-up history from the next-level servers.

The following table lists the details of the log:
