Database synchronization between OpenManage Enterprise and SupportAssist Enterprise is not a
continuous process; instead, it occurs based on specific triggers or settings. The most accurate option
that reflects the default behavior is that the frequency of database synchronization depends on the
“Update Device Inventory” setting.
Here’s a detailed explanation:
Constantly Running: While some processes within OpenManage Enterprise may run continuously,
database synchronization with SupportAssist Enterprise typically occurs at scheduled intervals or due
to specific events, rather than constantly.
New Device Discovery: Although discovering a new device in OpenManage Enterprise may trigger
certain updates or checks, it does not necessarily initiate a full database synchronization with
SupportAssist Enterprise by default.
Sync Now Option: While there is likely an option to manually initiate synchronization, this would not
be the default behavior but rather a manual intervention.
Update Device Inventory Setting: This is the most likely default setting that determines the
synchronization frequency. It aligns with the behavior of such systems where inventory updates can
trigger synchronization to ensure that the data in SupportAssist Enterprise is current and reflects the
latest state of the devices managed by OpenManage Enterprise1.
For more detailed information on how database synchronization is configured and managed between
OpenManage Enterprise and SupportAssist Enterprise, you can refer to the official Dell OpenManage
documentation and support resources1.
