Answer

This can be caused if "live discovery" is enabled.
To solve this issue exclude the adapter's name 'InventoryDiscoveryByScanner' from live discovery.
Go to infrastructure setting module, search 'periodic' by name, if 'Enable periodic update of data flow tasks' is true, live discovery is enabled.
Add 'InventoryDiscoveryByScanner' to 'Exclude this adapter of periodic data flow task'. Make sure you use the exact spelling of the adapter name as this filed is case sensitive.
