'Last Connection' Field in Afaria 7

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know the logic behind when the 'Last Connection' field in the 'Device Overview' tab in Afaria 7 gets updated?

Are the devices supposed to be pro-activetly connecting to the Afaria server ? Or do the devices wait for the Afaria server to actively connect to them?

FYI.. I solved this myself.

It appears there isn't a way to have an iOS 'heart-beat' type of service to update the 'Last Connection' field.

So what I did was schedule the 'iOS Device Refresh' job to run every 30mins. This will cause the server to reach out to all of the iOS devices and see if they are online. The job is a 'fire and forget' type, so you need to run it periodically, since it will not re-run itself if it doesn't get connection to the device on the first try.
