HP Web Jetadmin - Database Views in HP Web Jetadmin

 3 hours: Data in the

database older than 3 hours

is updated directly from the

device.

 6 hours: Data in the

database older than 6 hours

is updated directly from the

device.

 24 hours: Data in the

database older than 24

hours is updated directly

from the device.

A default poller runs in the

background and collects data

from devices depending on a

variety of factors, such as which

devices/columns are displayed

and how frequently the poller is configured to collect. The more frequently data is collected from

devices, the more accurate the data in the database. However, the drawback is increased network

traffic when continuously collecting from devices.

Selecting data to be exported

The Selected columns table is pre-populated with a default set of data elements when the wizard is

launched from the Tools menu. If the wizard is launched by right-clicking on selected devices, the

columns that were present in the device view are pre-selected. The Available columns

table consists of

data elements that are still available. The number of items in the list can be adjusted by selecting:

 Favorites: Displays the most commonly used columns.

 All: Displays all the available columns, except obsolete columns. To display only a specific

category of columns, expand All, and then select the category.

 Obsolete: Displays columns that are still available in HP Web Jetadmin, but have been replaced

by new columns or will not be supported in the future.

Scheduling exports

A device list export can be scheduled to occur at a specific time and frequency by checking the box

named Schedule device list export on the Select Columns page (see Figure 1). A flexible set of

scheduler options are presented to launch a one-time or recurring Export devices process. Each

schedule is provided a schedule name for future editing of the time and frequency. Only the time and

frequency of a scheduled export can be edited, not the devices or columns to be exported. If new

devices or columns are desired, a new scheduled export must be created.

Selecting devices to be exported

If the Export Devices wizard is launched from Tools/Export devices, the Select Devices page is

displayed for selecting which devices should be included in the export. If the Export Devices wizard is

launched by right-clicking and selecting Export from the device list area, only the devices that were

already selected in the device list are included in the export.
