4 Behavioral differences
This section explains the behavioral differences between OpenManage Enterprise and OpenManage
Enterprise – Modular after the firmware update operation.
In OpenManage Enterprise – Modular auto-start of the inventory task is not done and it is initiated manually
by clicking on “Check Compliance” in the UI
The API workflow has a small change specific to OpenManage Enterprise – Modular. After the firmware
update job is completed, find the internal Job exposed when creating the baseline. See the data returned on a
GET of the baseline in question to get the job id (bold Black text in the following code).
