   • If you select Discovery, basic information on file system assets is collected and minimal processing on the server is required.
   • If you select Discovery and Analysis, detailed statistics is collected and these jobs require more processing throughput on the server.
   • If you select Discovery and Analysis, and if the agent has more than one subclient, click the name of the subclient you want from the Subclient list. (This option is not applicable at the SRM subclient level.)
4. Choose Schedule or Immediate from the Job Initiation area.
