Scheduling Data Source Refresh

If you have created a Data Source manually, or used the Bulk Load feature, the target data locations will be scanned immediately after creation. To keep your data inventory up to date, you can initiate a Refresh All command on selected Data Sources from the Actions menu.

You can also configure a schedule for Data Source refresh. Select the Data Source you wish to schedule, then select the Schedule command from the Actions menu.

You will be presented with a scheduling screen that allows you to either schedule a single event or set a recurring schedule for Data Source refresh.

The top portion of the Manage Data Source Refresh Schedule shows the current schedules set for your target Data Source. 

The bottom portion of the screen allows you to create new schedules for your target Data Source. First choose the frequency for your new schedule: One Time, Every Week, Every Month, Every 3 Months, Every 6 Months, Every Year. Next choose the time zone for the start time - this defaults to the local time zone defined by your browser. Then choose the start date and time for the refresh. The screen will display the first three occurrences for this schedule. 

Click the Create Schedule button to add the schedule. The schedule appears in the top portion of the screen.

Each schedule in the top portion of the screen has an Actions menu that allows you to delete the schedule.

NOTE: Your schedule can hold only one recurrent schedule at a time but can include multiple One Time scans.

NOTE: As with all discoveries, scheduled Data Source refresh activities are paused during Collector Group Blackouts or if the Collector Group itself is paused. See Managing Collector Groups for more detail.
