The function that this topic describes might
not be available, depending on how lab management permissions and
client access licenses have been defined for your user account. You must be integrated with external
provider applications that have inventory capability (for example,
IBM® Rational® Build Forge® or IBM Tivoli® products
such as Tivoli Application
Dependency Discovery Manager and Tivoli Provisioning
Manager), you can update lab resource data to display the latest lab
resource configurations and new lab resources that have been added.
You must have an external provider application with inventory
capability installed.
To update lab resource data:
- In the left sidebar, point to the Lab Management icon
(
), and click All
Inventory History. The All Inventory History editor opens.
- Click Synchronize. This synchronizes
the IBM Rational Quality
Manager lab resource database with the database of
the configured inventory provider.
- Click Discover to update the lab
resource data with the latest configurations for each lab resource. The discovery operation can run for a long time, depending on
the provider system and the number of lab resources it manages.
- Click a lab resource to display detailed lab resource information.
If a lab resource has been recently added to the database,
the status is New Asset. If the configuration
of the lab resource has changed since you last viewed it, the status
is Asset updated.
