Recollect Inventory

You can configure the agent to send full inventory instead of sending delta values. This default behavior of the agent can be modified by the following methods:

Method 1:

To do this from the domain manager

1. Navigate to the Domain, Computers and Users, All Computers folder.

   The right pane displays all the computers connected to the domain.

2. Right-click the computer on which you want to recollect the inventory, and select Asset Jobs, Activate Job Check.

   The Asset Job Check dialog appears.

3. Select the Re-Collect option with either or both of the other rescan options, and click OK.

   The agent runs on the target computer and collects all the inventory information.

Method 2:

To do this from the agent

1. Specify the following command in the command line:

   caf start amagent args /RESCAN_SOFTWARE /RESCAN_INVENTORY /COLLECT
   

   The agent runs on the target computer, collects both software and hardware inventory information and saves the same in the scalability server's collect area.

   Note: If you want to collect either of them and not both, remove the rescan argument for the inventory you do not want to recollect. For example, to recollect only the software inventory, specify the following command:

   caf start amagent args /RESCAN_SOFTWARE /COLLECT
