Suggestion to Schedule the Report Cache Refresh:
The report cache (report views) is a snapshot data of management server schema to a point in time.
The report cache refresh is time and resource consuming. The following are guidelines for
scheduling report cache refresh:
• To ensure the report cache has the latest data from Get Details/Discovery Data Collection,
schedule the report cache refresh after Get Details/Discovery Data Collection finishes.
• Make sure to schedule the report cache refresh during off peak hours.
See ” Refreshing the Report Cache ” on page 184 for information on how to refresh the report cache.
Keep in mind the following:
• After an initial install, make sure you have already run Get Details/Discovery Data Collection.
Then, refresh the report cache to populate it with the data from Get Details/Discovery Data
Collection. If you do not refresh the report cache, the cache is still in its initial state, which is
empty. If the cache is empty, so too will the reports since they obtain their information from the
report cache.
• During the report cache refresh, the report views are truncated and repopulated with latest data.
If a report is run during report cache refresh and the corresponding view is getting refreshed, the
report displays with no data.
