Refreshing scan data on a computer

If software scan, capacity scan, or VM Manager tool scan finishes successfully on a particular computer but its results are not uploaded to the BigFix server, force the upload of the data. You can do it directly from BigFix Inventory without the need of accessing the BigFix console and running a separate fixlet for each type of scan.
