Refreshing compliance data recalculates all discovered product installation counts and recalculates compliance status for all licensed products. The following sections explain when automatic refreshes occur, how to manually trigger a refresh, and how to find out when the last scheduled refresh occurred.
The compliance status for all licensed products is automatically refreshed at the following times:
When you import purchase records. This ensures that a product’s compliance status immediately reflects any newly purchased licenses.
Each day at the time specified for the compliance engine’s refresh schedule (see Section 3.0, Configuring Compliance Settings). This ensures that a product’s compliance status reflects any changes to the installation count for its discovered products.
In addition, the compliance status for an individual product is automatically refreshed when the following actions occur:
Creating or deleting an entitlement.
Adding, modifying, or deleting any entitlement entry that affects license quantity or installation quantity. This includes purchase records, purchase record summaries, catalog products, discovered products, and software collections.
Adjusting the installation count (net consumption) for a discovered product.
