Yes if you run ZCM 10.3.
IMPORTANT:The ZENworks 10 Adaptive Agent and ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Agent can coexist on the same workstation if the only Adaptive Agent feature that is enabled is Asset Management. Enabling features related to other ZENworks 10 products (Configuration Management and Patch Management) on the same machine as ZENworks 7 Desktop Management is not supported

  • Using ZCM asset management

    Hi, I am trying to teach myself ZCM asset management. I did learn a little about ZCM itself, but I am in charge of the asset management part of it. I have been looking at it off and on for 3 or 4 months now and it is still confusing. Can someone suggest a good document that explains it or an inexpensive training on it? This is my first time using any kind of ZENworks so I feel very lost. I have the PO's imported and started creating licensed products to my discovered products. But then I have a mess when I have a product that is an annual license. I must be doing it wrong? If anyone has any suggestions let me know or if you want to help me along on the forum that would be great!
    Thanks!
    Amy

    Hey there,
    Im currently working with the Asset Management component of ZCM, so far everything works. I read the documentation and tested a lot of Stuff so far.
    Actually I have no problem with the steps and "working" with it, but at some points ive got basic lack of understanding the underlying process.
    Like: Why exactly do I need catalog products, I cant really see the reason for them, seems like an unnecessary step/level or whatever :)
    Does anyone of you know a good source to learn the "Basics of Asset Management", I assume the Asset Management Component of ZCM will have been "build along an before existing Concept". I assume this Concept would be "Asset Management", but i could find no detailed information regarding this.
    Either it was so product specific or so compressed that I could not learn much from it.
    The Novell documentations clear up pretty much everything about how to work with this, but I still feel confused WHY iam doing what iam doing :)
    regards,
    alex

  • ZCM Asset Management on SLES ?

    Hi,
    Just wanted to confirm that the Asset Management for ZCM 10 server component does indeed run on SLES 10.1/OES2.
    Something in the back of my brain is saying the SERVER is Windows only.
    I couldn't find anything in the docs, but that didn't fill me with confidence. ;-)
    Ian

    I will run on SLES 10.1/OES2 as well.
    That was true for previous versions of ZEN.

  • New GL Environment - Asset Management - Depreciation Areas

    Hi Folks
    My client currently is on 4.6C R/3 platform. The asset management configuration for Depreciation Areas is such that the area 01 has been assigned to Local GAAP postings and has Real Time Posting flag set to yes. Area 20 has been assigned to IAS, but without Real Time Posting flag.
    Going for New GL, the question is does SAP allow Leading Ledger (0L) to have a depreciation area (20 in our case) which is not configured for real time postings while allowing Non Leading Ledger (say X1) to have a depreciation area (01 in our case) which is configured for real time postings.
    If SAP allows this, it is OK, we just migrate as it is.
    If not, we need to swap configurations between the two depreciation areas and do a de-facto re implementation of AA module as a precursor to New GL migration.
    Also, keeping this issue in mind, would it be better/ advisible to go in for New GL migration sometime middle of a year?
    Any thoughts/ experiences/ advice on this situation?
    Regards
    Mandar

    You can use derived depreciation area concept and can post to different ledgers.
    One limitation is that the formula which you give is always 60=01-20 and not 20-01. Here 01, 20, 60 are depreciation areas. 60 is the derived depreciation area which is a standrd delivery.
    You are not clear whether are you posting to 20 periodically or not? Or it is for only reporting?.
    Assuming you are posting in 4.6C and want to continue the same, you can do so by the derived depreciation area.
    You may be needing to configure your system for periodical posting (ASKBN) and you need to use FB50L for postings to specific Ledger or ledger groups. If you want to post all the ledgers same value but for the depreciation, you can use the old transactions.
    you run your scenario in sand box and test your self before come to a conclusion.
    The scenario what you are referring is a standard functionality.

  • Asset Management and tracking using iOS?

    Hi,
    I would like to use iphones for asset management and tracking and am having a bit of difficulty finding what I am looking for. I bought delicious library 3 at home to see if it could track code39 or code128 but so far it doesn't work, and I can't seem turn off Amazon searching. Anyway, I also ran across iCody, which looked nice and even clz barry, but they all seem to be data entry only.
    What I am looking for is an app/application set that can work in two ways:
    1. Build a database (this could be manually if it needs to be) of asset items. I would then enter details about that item into the database.
    2. Scan, view, and possibly edit the item by barcode using an iOS device.
    Has anyone found something that will do this? I'm not real interested in demoing apps by buying them first
    thanks

  • Aperture as a Multi-User Digital Asset Management Tool

    Does anyone have any experience using Aperture in a multi-user environment? I'm trying to compare it to Cumulus by Canto which is designed as a multi-user tool.
    I realize that each user would have a copy of Aperture on their Mac, but are there other issues that are not such as multi-variable searching capabilities of one versus the other. My gut tells me that Cumulus is more robust and can handle much larger libraries as well as all types of digital data and can search within document such as InDesign for a particular image.
    Thanks
    --Mitch

    There is no possible way you can use Cumulus and
    actually save money.
    I don’t expect to save money. I expect to save time finding info, and avoiding duplication of almost everything we have
    Stepping into digital asset management is a far bigger
    issue than your boss can imagine. Try not to take this
    personally, but your initial question about using
    Aperture as an enterprise or workgroup DAM suggests you
    have no idea what you're suggesting or possibly getting
    into. Canto is all smoke and mirrors unless you can
    afford the training and have dedicated, competent and
    engaged support personnel.
    Nothing taken personally. The question was asked because management is promoting Aperture as the end-all and be-all of imagement, whereas I’m looking for a tool to manage all our documents
    Before you go much further, you need to understand
    databases and you need to understand that DAM's return
    on investment is not about saving money, it's about
    preventing the spending of money; a huge difference and
    there are few mgrs who can parse that difference from
    the sales hype. Buy a copy of "The DAM Book" and try to
    get someone to explain databases, cataloging
    applications and server-based storage to you.
    I understand databases quite well, but I will get a copy of the book you mentioned. I am running an Xserve in my environment, so I do understand servers and OS X Server.
    I wish you tremendous luck and hope your experiences
    are better than most of the Canto customers I have ever
    met, including me. You just have no idea how expensively
    wrong your decision to employ Cumulus could turn out to
    be. Not that it's a bad product (although we thoroughly
    despise it); it's sold as a miracle. Cumulus is a
    supremely complex (not necessarily complicated),
    over-designed and totally un-Macintosh application.
    What version of Cumulus are you using, and why are you so unhappy with it? May I contact you off line to discuss this?
    Thanks for the reply

  • Digital Asset management

    Hi all,
    I've been using idImager to keep track of photos and videos. The one problem I have found with this product is setting it up in a collaborative environment.
    I was wondering what people are using to keep track of the digital assests and where they are used.
    The things I need to keep track of are:
    Images
    Video (complete and clips)
    Audio files
    Cubase and Ableton Live projects (and their assets)
    Adobe project files
    CC Prelude looks like it is only usefult for video clip pull in.
    Any ideas?
    I wasn't sure what forum to post this in. If there is a more appropriate area let me know
    Thanks
    Ian

    We use WebDAM for collaboration and digital asset management. Its an awesome DAM Software . For all design activities, our entire team uses Adobe Creative Cloud. They both seem to work really well together.  Managing your images, video (complete vids and clips), audio files, projects, adobe files, and almost any file is completly supported. WebDAM also allows us to control versions, edit and control metadata, supports EXIF and XMP metadata standards, comment on assets, automatically convert file formats, set expiration dates, get automated alerts when others work on files, easy search, viewing capabilities, control access, and share/secure/collaborate on our files anytime from anyplace. Its super easy to use. Our team also loves the video module which allows you to serve your videos and clips to various websites, control versions, etc. haha, sounds like a sales pitch.  I'm pretty sure Intel, New Balance Shoes, Santa Cruz, Symantec, GE, bunch of design agencies, and almost every college uses WebDAM. Being near Adobe's headquarters in Silicon Valley,  I think their software engineers interact with Adobe consultants as well.
    But I guess the question is, are you looking for something to use for your entire team, company, or just for personal use?  That will determine what type of software you should be looking for.

  • Import from asset management

    Hi,
    Trying to load a file from SAP (Asset Management) to HFM.
    The extracted file got Asset Types/Entities/Profit Centers in the rows and Asset Movements (Opening, closing, additions, disposals etc) in the columns. I need to load these movements to a set of Balance Sheet movement-members in Custom1.
    To be able to import and map the file I probably need to have one line/row for each BS-movement. Does anyone know how to create an import script in FDM that 'flips' the columns into rows?
    Other alternatives?
    Thanks!

    I have worked how to do it, its just a case of not enough documentation to do it.
    It should be done through the "Import Managed Workstation" if anyone has gotten this to work without the documentation, please let me know.

  • Looking for help - Company is going to Mobile Asset Management service that does not support BB - especially BB 10.

    Hello,
    I am looking for ideas/help. I currently have a BB Z10 (10.1.0.2039) with Verizon Wireless.  The company has a BB Enterprise Server for older devices (I previously was on that).  I bought a Z10 several months ago and have been connecting to the corporate network through Lotus Traveler. They do not have and will not implement a BB 10 Enterprise Server. Some in IT informed that if the company used the BB software they could manage all devices..... not accepted.
    All my contacts, calendar, and company email is funneled to the BB Hub.....
    So my company is implementing a Mobile Asset Management Service that I have to sign up for (Airwatch?).  They only support Android and IPhone.
    Will future versions of the BB OS support Android Apps.... Soon (I have less than 2 weeks)
    I have read where it is possible to put the device in development mode to run Android Apps.  I don't know if that will work with this and have no idea how stable the phone is in that mode. I travel internationally so I don't know how a development mode would work overseas. Any thoughts?
    I like my Z10 but will need to switch to keep functionality if I can't find a work around 
    Any assistance ????
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    BB10 devices have the ability to run .apk apps via special methods. Development Mode is used only for installing the app...not for normal operation. So you install (side-load) the app in Development Mode, then go back to normal mode for normal operations.
    If a .bar file for the .apk app already exists somewhere, you can side load it to the BB10 device and see if it works or not. If there is not yet any .bar file, there is an app called SideSwype that can convert many .apk apps to .bar and install it to your device.
    Good luck!

  • Load swf into RAM via an asset manager

    Hi.
    I have an AS3 virtual world and we are continually loading external resources such as swfs and sounds.
    A few of my menu screens that take a damn long time to load. Read a tut that said we should load them into RAM using an asset manager.
    I'm assuning the asset manager is simply a Class used specifically for loading and unloading graphics, swfs and sounds. So the important part to ask is:
    What do they mean by loading into RAM.
    I thought all swfs were automatically loaded into RAM ie: cached or in the flash player cache or the browser cache. Or do I have to do it specifically myself with some code. We are importing external files so we thought that was a great idea as they are shared by many games.
    btw: RSLs I have read about but I don't understand. I thought my externally loaded files were RSLs (runtime shared libraries) or would I have to do some physical coding do convert them into RSLs.
    This is so important because I am not very experienced but I am getting a lot better due to help receied in this forum and my current programmer is leaving me. I have been studying up on As3 and design patterns and I understand basic coding a lot better now.
    CHEERS
    EDIT: Just read that I am using a http call. - I use urlloader - well that's what you use isn't it or how would you load an external swf. Just read that you can hold the swf as a variable which loads it in RAM and therefore will be available immediately. Know I don't understand anything as I have never read that anywhere.

    Hi Andrei, nice to see you around here.
    Well, somebody helping me says that normally we make a http request with urlLoader to the server and that is what was happening each time. We weren't getting the cached swf. (that bit I don't understand and doesn't sound right - anyway...)
    So he says if we create a dictionary class to hold that swf then the next time we make a request we will get the movie from there and not from the server.
    I have highlighted the main parts of code below.
    What I don't understand about all this is that I have never seen anything like this in my life. I have read extensively and read all about loading external files and using this type of asset manager with the dictionary class does not ring a bell and goole comes up with nothing.
    I hunch is that as you say, we are doing something wrong somewhere because the only way to get an external file is via urlLoader to the server the first time and then the second time it should look for it cached on our computer is that right? Or when we make the urlLoader request how does it know to look on our computer first before going to the server or are these innner workings of the flash player I know nothing about. This is so important as when I get 10 kids on the computers they wait for as long as 5 minutes for movies that have already been downloaded many times before.
    Cheers in advance.

  • Assets management and inventory Management.

    This may be simple situation often encountered in industries. The need is to manage an item as an asset as well as manage inventory functions of purchasing, receiving, physical inventory and issue of these assets to customers as inventory materials. The materials are also needed to accounted for depreciation functions.
    Can experts throw some light on the kind of best practice process flows that we could often consider.
    Thanks in advance for contributors.

    Good questions: I think I need to explain the full scenario.
    This is for a health care industry. The intention is to purchase the materials as assets and these come from different vendors, but often, it could be the same material. The current thinking is as follows:
    1. Forecast the reqiuirement of the materials according the different sizes. For example : small, medium and large.  Each of these sizes could come from different vendors with different model numbers, but are groupd under the sizes.
    2. Based on the forecast probably using APO, the materials are purchased in ERP for these sizes. But we still need to carry the vendor model number as part of the attributes of the materisl. Here there seems to be three options.
    - One is to use Material classification and use capture the model number of the vendor.
    - second is to utilise the Form Fit Function functionality of SAP IS for A&D.
    - Third potential option might be to use Batch management and capture manufacturer number in batch characteristic.
    Once the materials are purchases these are settled to assets and then there is a need to manage their inventory as the requirement is to utilise Logistic execution functionality including sales, delivery and goods issue functionality. In addition the materials also  need to be transferred between different  SAP plant locations.
    There is also a challenge to manage the requirement as more often, the need is for just the size. but sometime there is a requirement for a specific model within a particular size.
    I am not too sure whether there is an absolute need to manage seralisation for individual material numbers, but from asset management perspective, is there a need> Pl clarify
    Any comments / suggestions on the above is very welcome.
    Appreciate your time and thinking and value contribution.
