Configure Clients Operation: Offline Area Settings

Offline areas are intermediate directories in which the Client software stores the raw data it collects from managed computers and through which instructions are relayed. This allows Console users to perform operations on Client PCs even when they are not currently available. Use this tab to specify the offline area settings for selected Clients.

To specify the Offline Area settings:

1    Select the Offline Area tab.

2    Select the Modify Setting check boxes of the settings you want to change:

Offline path This list contains the locations of the offline areas that are currently available to transfer data to and from Clients. If you want Clients to use a different offline area to transfer their data, select another entry in the list.

Offline prefix Enter up to four alphanumeric characters in this field to specify a string that can be used to identify the data collected from Clients.

Push interval Enter a value in this field to change the frequency, in days, with which the Client transfers its inventory data to the offline area.

Trigger client Select this check box to force a complete scan of hardware and software inventory the next time the Client runs.

Enable debug to display information windows during data capture and to generate extra logging information to help identify problems. Debugging is disabled by default.

3    Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog. You can now apply your settings changes to Clients by clicking the Configure Clients operation.
