Operations

Select a system or systems from the table (or use the Search field as necessary), and click one of the following buttons to the right of the table to run operations for the selected system(s):

• Read Configurations
  Forces the Child Systems to contact the Master System and get their latest Configuration information. Normally Child Systems will update their configuration information on a 24 hour cycle. This option is useful after changing system configurations and will ensure that the systems have the most up to date configuration. If the Read Configuration option is not chosen after the configuration is changed the configuration will be applied on its normal 24 hour read cycle.
• Refresh Visualizers
  If you make any changes to any of the Visualizers tab settings, you can manually refresh the Visualizers instead of waiting for the scheduled update time for your changes to be applied to the Visualizers by selecting the systems on which to perform the operation and clicking the Refresh Visualizers button.
• Run Inventory
  Forces the Child System to run a software and hardware inventory. By default, inventory is run every hour for hardware and every half hour for software. Selecting this option causes an inventory to run outside this schedule. This option is useful prior to running reports on the Master System and in conjunction with Run Condense to ensure you have the most recent condense information for each system.
• Run Condense
  Condenses the information on the Child System from the last condense cycle. This will not condense all of the information since the initial installation. Condense cycles are once every 24 hours by default. This option will condense information since this last condense interval. This option is useful prior to running reports on the Master System and in conjunction with Run Inventory to ensure you have the most recent condense information for each system.
