The Roll-Up policy settings configure the selected Inventory server for roll-up of scan information. The settings in the Roll-Up policy identify the next-level Inventory server (DN of the Inventory Service object) for moving the scan data from the selected Inventory server. These settings stored in eDirectory are associated with the Inventory Server object.
To configure the Roll-Up policy:
In ConsoleOne, right-click the Policy Packages container, click New > Policy Package > Server Package > RollupPolicy > Next.
Type a name for the Server Package, click Next, then click Finish.
In ConsoleOne, right-click the Server Package, click Properties, click Policies, then click General.
Check the check box under the Enabled column for the Rollup Policy.
Click Properties.
Click the Roll-up Policy tab, then click Roll-up Policy.
Browse to select the DN of the Inventory Service object, then click OK.
Destination Server Object: You must specify the DN of the Inventory Service object at the next level Inventory server for moving the scan data from the selected Inventory server. The server that you specify must be another Intermediate Server, Intermediate Server with Database, Intermediate Server with Database and Inventoried Servers, Intermediate Server with Inventoried Servers, Root Server, or Root Server with Inventoried Servers.
NOTE: Ensure that the specified Inventory server is a different server because you cannot roll-up of data to the same Inventory server. Also, you cannot specify the lower-level Inventory server as the next-destination server for roll-up of data.
Select the IP address or the DNS name of the next level Inventory server.
If the roll-up is to an Inventory server that is across the firewall, specify the IP address or the DNS name and the port number of the proxy server.
Click the Associations tab, then click Add.
The first time you enable the Roll-Up policy, you will prompted to associate the policy package. The policy you configured and enabled earlier will not be in effect until you associate this policy package with an Inventory server. Browse for the Inventory server that you want to associate the Roll-Up policy to, click OK > OK.
In ConsoleOne, right-click the Server Package, click Properties, then click Policies. Click NetWare or click Window sub-options.
Click the Roll-Up Policy row > Properties > Roll-Up Policy tab > Roll-Up Schedule. Modify the settings for scheduling the roll-up time, then click OK.
When you schedule the roll-up of data in the Inventory policies, we recommend the roll-up frequency should be at least one day. If the roll-up of scan data is scheduled too frequently, for example less than one hour, there may be some performance degradation of the Inventory server.
NOTE: If you are modifying the Inventory policies or configuring the objects except for the Roll-Up schedule, always stop the Inventory services. Configure the policies and properties of the objects. Restart the Inventory services again. For more information, see Starting and Stopping the Inventory Service.
