Description
This command performs discovery for software configuration information.
There are two types of update: full update and differential update. A full update collects all the latest information, regardless of whether the information has been collected previously. A differential update collects only the differences between all the latest information and the information that has been collected previously.
Perform a full update in the following situations:
When recreating the CMDB
When a configuration item has been incorrectly deleted from the Configuration Management window
This command can be executed on the admin server.

Cautions
This command executes asynchronously with the update processing performed on the target server. This means that update processing may be still executing on the CMDB agent even after the command has returned. The messages in the event log or syslog on the CMDB agent can be used to check whether the update processing has completed.
