Check Schedule and Primary Source

(On-Premises)
In high-frequency mode where FlexNet Manager Suite is responsible for your
sub-capacity calculations on IBM PVU and VPC sub-capacity licenses, there are two
mandatory requirements for inventory gathering:
- FlexNet inventory must be your primary inventory source. This means that other sources may be used to fill gaps where you have not installed the FlexNet Inventory Agent; but none of these other sources can ever overwrite the data collected in FlexNet inventory.
- The schedule for your full inventory import and license reconciliation must run daily. It does not matter what time of day you choose to run this import and compliance calculation (the default is to run it overnight); but it must run once each day. Among other things, this validates the links between inventory devices and IBM sub-capacity licenses, which are foundational to peak consumption calculations.
