    About this task

    Running a collector manually initiates immediate metadata harvesting from the configured source system. Use manual execution to verify new collector configurations, refresh metadata after source system changes, or gather updated information outside the scheduled collection cycle. Collection duration varies based on the volume of metadata in the source system.
