Scheduling a Report Cache Refresh
The management server lets you schedule the refreshing of the report cache.
Keep in mind the following:
• The higher the frequency of the report cache interval, the more stress you put on the
management server. A very frequent report cache interval, such as every 10 minutes, could hurt
the response time of the management server to perform other tasks.
• Make sure you schedule refreshing the report cache after Get Details/Discovery Data
Collection. 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.
• While the report cache is being refreshed, reports display no data.
If you find you are still viewing old information regarding elements on the network, you may need
to perform Get Details/Discovery Data Collection. It is best to perform Get Details/Discovery Data
Collection at regular intervals. See ”Adding a Discovery Schedule” on page 179.
