9.7.5 Updating the detection results

By updating the detection results, you can obtain the most recent information about hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed.

In the cases described below, information about hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed has been updated or hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed have been added to the network, but these changes are not applied automatically to the detection results. You use the Detection of Hosts Not Containing Software Distribution dialog box to update the detection results and check the most recent information about hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed.

This subsection describes how to update the detection results for each case.

Organization of this subsection
(1) When a host search was executed
(2) When JP1/Software Distribution was installed on a host on which JP1/Software Distribution had not already been installed
(3) When JP1/Software Distribution was uninstalled
(4) When a host on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed was added to the network
(5) When a host was removed from the network
(6) When system configuration information was created from a file
(7) When the dcmhstwo command was executed to detect hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed

(1) When a host search was executed

Click the Latest information button to update the information in the Detection of Hosts Not Containing Software Distribution dialog box.

If a host search is executed to detect hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed, information about the hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed is updated, but the information in the Detection of Hosts Not Containing Software Distribution dialog box remains unchanged.

(2) When JP1/Software Distribution was installed on a host on which JP1/Software Distribution had not already been installed

Click the Latest information button to update the information in the Detection of Hosts Not Containing Software Distribution dialog box.

When the MAC address of the host on which JP1/Software Distribution was installed is registered in the managing server by the Get system configuration information or Get system information from client job, which are facilities for registering the system configuration automatically, information about the corresponding host is deleted automatically from the existing detection results of hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed.

If JP1/Software Distribution was installed on a host on which JP1/Software Distribution was not already installed and that host had been set as a non-detection target, the information about the host is not deleted automatically from the existing detection result of hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed even when the host is reset to being a detection target. In this case, to display the most recent information, set the host as a detection target and then choose the Detect unintroduced host menu, which is displayed by clicking the Search/Detect button.

(3) When JP1/Software Distribution was uninstalled

From the system configuration information registered in the managing server, delete information about the applicable host, and then choose the Detect unintroduced host menu, which is displayed by clicking the Search/Detect button.

If you are using a facility for registering system configuration information automatically, you can automatically delete the host from which JP1/Software Distribution has been uninstalled from the system configuration information. In this case, choosing the Detect unintroduced host menu, which is displayed by clicking the Search/Detect button after uninstalling JP1/Software Distribution, automatically detects the host as one on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed.

(4) When a host on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed was added to the network

Execute a host search to detect hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed.

When the host search is completed, click the Latest information button to update the information in the Detection of Hosts Not Containing Software Distribution dialog box.

(5) When a host was removed from the network

Execute a host search to detect hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed. Note that information about the host that has been removed from the network is deleted if the validity period for its detection results has expired. For details about the validity period of search results, see 9.7.4(5) Settings for the validity period of search results.

When the host search is completed, click the Latest information button to update the information in the Detection of Hosts Not Containing Software Distribution dialog box.

(6) When system configuration information was created from a file

If system configuration information was created from a file, information about hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed is not updated. Use the following procedure to detect the hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed:

If a host search in the network has been conducted:
Choose the Detect unintroduced host menu, which is displayed by clicking the Search/Detect button, and detect the hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed.

If a host search in the network has not been conducted:
Execute a host search to detect hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed.
When the host search is completed, click the Latest information button to update the information in the Detection of Hosts Not Containing Software Distribution dialog box.

(7) When the dcmhstwo command was executed to detect hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed

Click the Latest information button to update the information in the Detection of Hosts Not Containing Software Distribution dialog box.

When you execute the dcmhstwo command to detect hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed from the network configuration information, the information about hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed is updated, but the information in the Detection of Hosts Not Containing Software Distribution dialog box remains unchanged.
