96 CHAPTER 5: IMPORTING AND REFRESHING DEVICES
Import and Refresh
Reports
The following reports are produced through the Importing and
Refreshing feature:
Import Report
The Import Report lists all devices that were successfully imported and
passed onto the refresh operation. It also includes any problems
encountered, such as invalid CSV record entries or problems connecting
to the HP OpenView database. For more information on the type of
problems encountered see “
Import Problems” on page 102.
If you cancel a refresh operation after the import operation has
completed you can still view the import report from the History tab of the
Main Reports dialog.
Refresh Report
The Refresh Report lists all the problems encountered during the refresh
operation, such as the device not responding. For more information on
the types of problem encountered see “
Refresh Problems” on page 103.
Changes Report
The Changes Report lists any changes that were detected for devices that
existed in the inventory file prior to performing the refresh.
From the Refresh Summary dialog you can view each of these reports
(where applicable). Additionally, once a report has been generated it can
also be viewed from the History tab of the Main Reports dialog. The
reports are automatically generated in the background as part of the
import/refresh process. You do not need to view the reports from the
Summary dialog for them to be added to the Report history.
