The software suite cron task is scheduled to run the process that identifies which software applications belong to a software suite. A software suite is a group of software applications that are licensed as a single unit.
In the Software Suite Setup application, you create a software suite record to specify which software applications belong to a software suite. The software suite record determines which software suites are displayed on the Suites tab of the Software tab in the Computers application.
Although you define software suites in the Software Suite Setup application, software suite identification is a background process. You must set up a cron task in the Cron Task Setup application to schedule the software suite identification process. When the cron task is run, the system identifies suites and updates deployed asset data by using the software suite definitions. Data about additions, changes, and deletions made to software suite records is not displayed in the Computers application until after the cron task is run.
