About HiScan command execution
The HiScan command configures Device Manager agents to send information to the server on a
regular basis. You can schedule HiScan for hourly, daily, or weekly execution.
NOTE:
If you specify weekly executions, also specify the day of the week you want the scan to run.
If no HiScan execution periods are set, agents do not regularly send acquired information to the
server.
To reduce P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software server loads when agents are installed
on multiple hosts, specify daily or weekly executions and verify that multiple HiScans do not run
simultaneously.
For Windows, the batch file exeHiScan.bat with the HiScan settings is registered as a Windows
task.
