Agent Driven Inventory Discovery Job

Introduction

This job runs hardware and installed software inventory discovery by UD Agent driven scanners.

Discovery Flow

This job is the last step in a chain of inventory discovery activities that parses the scan file result updated by each process. Currently, the job does not reach the destination by any means, it is isolated to the level of the Probe File System in order to get the proper file from the file system, parse it, and produce the vector of CIs that are populated to the UCMDB.

Note Each instance of this job can handle only one schedule result using the parameter scheduleName. That is, if you have three schedules defined in the agentDrivenInventoryConfiguration.xml file, you should create three job instances to handle these schedules. To do so,

  1. Create a new job instance by right-clicking this job, selecting Save as, and typing the name that you want.
  2. Set the parameter scheduleName value of each job instance to the schedule-instance id defined in the agentDrivenInventoryConfiguration.xml file. (For the default schedule, default is used)

Adapter Information

This job uses the Agent Driven Inventory Discovery Adapter.
