Forcing upload of data from VM managers

Edit online

You can force the data collected from VM managers to be immediately uploaded to the BigFix® server. The data is uploaded once and no schedule is set.

About this task

In case of the local VM Manager Tool, data from VM managers is uploaded directly to License Metric Tool during every import.

  2. In the navigation tree, go to Sites > External Sites > IBM License Reporting (ILMT) > Fixlets and Tasks.
  3. Select Force VM Manager Tool Scan Results Upload, and click Take Action.
  4. Select the computer on which the VM Manager Tool is installed, and click OK.
