Force refresh server assessment (meta)data

[joetahsin]

Hi Guys, 

got a question related to the server assessment VA /Advisor recommendation.

I just fixed a VA item, but the docs says it will take up to 48 hours before it will refresh the data/ before i can see new VA results.

"How quickly will the scanner identify newly disclosed critical vulnerabilities?

Within 48 hrs of the disclosure of a critical vulnerability, Qualys incorporates the information into their processing and can identify affected machines."

Is there another way to force this ?

my reference is this link
