Use this procedure to manually initiate the configuration data collection process for a selected library. This process is performed automatically every 24 hours at the scheduled time of day, but this procedure allows you to initiate the process manually whenever you need to. You should use this procedure whenever you add SNMP connection information for a library. Only one data collection can be performed at a time.

Note – Before performing this procedure, you must verify that the library is fully initialized. See “Verify the Library is Operational” for instructions.

The data collection is initiated and an information message is displayed.

Depending on the size of the library, the data collection process may take several minutes to an hour. The Last Connection Status in the Monitored Libraries table is updated, as follows:

Note – The default screen refresh interval is 480 seconds. If the Get latest data process completes before the next screen refresh, “IN PROGRESS” will not be displayed.

If STA is able to provide information about why the data collection failed, it is displayed in the Last Connection Failure Detail field. See “Troubleshoot an Unsuccessful SNMP Connection” for suggestions for resolving the issue.

Note – The value displayed for Last Connection Failure Detail may extend beyond the width of the column. Be sure to extend the column width to see the entire value displayed.
