You can reload and refresh the workstation database. The following table explains the difference between each database action.
Table 9-4 Workstation Database Actions
Action | Description |
---|---|
Reload |
When changes are made in the Enterprise Management Console (EMC), workstations automatically download the new information at the configured database update frequency. If you cannot wait for this interval, you can reload the workstation database to immediately get the latest information. You cannot reload the database of workstations that are offline. The process of reloading the workstation database downloads the entire database for the workstation, so the duration of time needed can be taxing due to the large amount of information being sent. |
Refresh |
Refreshing the database allows the workstation to download the latest configuration changes made in the Enterprise Management Console (EMC) since the workstation’s last database update. |
