Architectural Overview of Report Views and Report Cache Refresh
Management server reports are based on report views (Materialized views) which are data
snapshots of the management server schema at a certain time. The management server has a
refresh process to refresh the report views. You can change the frequency of how often the report
views are refreshed, as described in ”
” on page 219. The overall report
architecture is displayed in the following figure.

Report Views and Report Cache Refresh
Suggestion to Schedule the Report Cache Refresh:
The report cache (report views) is a snapshot data of management server schema to a point in time.
The report cache refresh is time and resource consuming. The following are guidelines for
scheduling report cache refresh:
•
To ensure the report cache has the latest data from Get Details/Discovery Data Collection,
schedule the report cache refresh after Get Details/Discovery Data Collection finishes.
•
Make sure to schedule the report cache refresh during off peak hours.
See ”
” on page 219 for information on how to refresh the report cache.
