This command can be executed at any desired timing, but it is recommended that the command be executed during a gap in business activities.
For example, execute regular discovery once a day in the middle of the night (out of normal business hours).
Refer to "Registering a Configuration Baseline Creation Schedule" in the Installation Guide for information about schedule settings for regular discovery and the time taken to execute discovery.
The patch information update command will output the following warning message if there are any business servers for which information could not be collected during discovery for some reason (such as the target server not running):
A warning has occurred while patch information was being updated. |
Information about the servers for which information could not be collected and the reason why the information could not be collected are output to log files, so take the necessary action based on the information in the log files.
