You use the inventory settings of the Workstation object to identify the .STR filename of the last scan. Identifying the scan data filename is useful to troubleshoot inventory scanning problems for the workstation. For more information, see View the Scan Data File.
You configure the inventory settings for the selected workstation by enforcing a complete scan of the workstation using the Workstation Scan Configuration property page. For more information about the Full Scan option, see Enable Full Scan.
To configure the inventory settings for the workstation object:
In ConsoleOne, right-click the Workstation object > click Properties > ZENworks Inventory > Workstation Scan Configuration properties tab.
Check Start Full Scan if required > modify the following settings:
View the Scan Data Filename: The Scanner stores the scan data of the workstation as a scan data file (.STR) in the scan directory (SCANDIR) on the inventory server. The Workstation Scan Configuration properties page displays the scan filename of the last scan done at the workstation. The .STR file uses the following filename conventions: macAddress_gmt_sequencenumber.STR where macAddress is the MAC address of the workstation, gmt is the time that the workstation was first scanned, sequencenumber is the internal sequencing number generated by the Scanner for the workstation while scanning, and .STR is the file extension.
For example, 00508b12b2c4_944029836000_10.STR is the .STR file for the workstation with the MAC address of 00508b12b2c4, the GMT of the workstation as 944029836000, and the internal sequencing number of 10.
Start Full Scan: When scanning the workstation for the first time, the scanner collects the complete inventory. A complete inventory scan of the workstation is referred to as a full scan. After the workstation is scanned, the next time the scanner compares the current inventory data to the history data that it maintains. If there are any changes to the workstation, the scanner creates a delta scan, which collects the changes in inventory since the last scan was done. The delta scan setting is the default scan operation for each successive scan after the first scanning of the workstation. If the status log reported by the inventory component indicates that the scanning on the workstation was not successful, you can enforce a full scan.
