Refreshing the Report Cache
The management server gathers information for reports from the database every six hours by
default. The management server stores this information in its report cache and displays it when a
report is requested. If you are seeing outdated information in the report, you can refresh the report
using one of the following methods:
• Refresh the report cache now. - See ”Refreshing the Report Cache Immediately” on
page 219.
• Schedule the report cache to be refreshed. - See ”Scheduling a Report Cache Refresh” on
page 220.
Refreshing the Report Cache Immediately
The Refresh Now button lets you update the report cache immediately.
Keep in mind the following:
• If Get Details/Discovery Data Collection is occurring, wait for it to finish before clicking the
Refresh Now button. This technique ensures the database is completely updated and thus, your
reports will be as accurate as possible. Get Details/Discovery Data Collection collects the latest
data. When you refresh the report cache, the management server transfers the information
collected from Get Details/Discovery Data Collection and transfers it to the report cache.
• While the report cache is being refreshed, reports display no data.
