For any scheduled inventory scan or user-initiated inventory scan, the collector performs the inventory scan and prepares the scanned file according to the collected data. The device then sends the file to the Endpoint server for further processing.
The collector places the following files:
workstationguid-delta.xml
workstationguid-last.xml
workstationguid-full.xml
in one of the following folders in the workstation:
On Windows devices: <Install -path>\Endpoint Agent\work\inventory
The workstationguid-delta.xml file displays only the current scan excluding the last scan. The workstationguid-last.xml file contains data related only to the current scan and the workstationguid-full.xml file includes complete details of all the scans so far.
The collector uploads only the delta file to the OpenText Configuration Management server while the other two files remain on the device and get updated during the next scan.
