How to Upload or Download Software Usage Data in SMS
Published : April 11, 2005
This script starts the upload software usage data process to the SMS server from the SMS Advanced Client, where the script is run.
This script uses the Advanced Client Control Panel CPAppletMgr object to get ClientActions collection object. The clientActions collection is iterated through to find and run the software metering usage report cycle action.
You can change the oClientAction.Name property to Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle to start the software metering policy download from the SMS site server.
For additional information about uploading or download usage data, see the SMS 2003 SDK.
