How hrefresh Selects Items

Based on the input that hrefresh receives from the CA Harvest SCM UDP, hrefresh determines which inventory option to use in the following sequence:

1. Item list—The hrefresh command checks the input list for the [version] variable. The inventory is all items in the view of the specified state and specified view path. The inventory is equivalent to using the -il option.
2. Package list—The hrefresh command checks the input list for the [package] variable. The inventory is all items that have versions in the list of packages and the specified view path. The inventory is equivalent to using the -pl option.
3. Full view—The hrefresh command checks the input list for the [version] and [package] variables; if neither is found, the inventory is all items in the view of the specified state and view path. The inventory is equivalent to using the -iv option.
