ARD ...asset tracking and management

Why doesn't ARD have automated asset tracking? I administrate a small company with a WAN based over 4 sites and ARD 2.2 does us very well for most aspects of IT management..it falls down on asset management.
Does anyone know of a good reasonably priced asset tracker/manager that will work with ARD? I have looked at Filewave's Asset Manager but it is too expensive. Any ideas, I need to auto track and keep records of our hardware and software.

Does anyone know of a good reasonably priced asset tracker/manager that will work with ARD?
Nothing that will do it automatically. You can export reports from ARD and then import them into a asset manager such as Computer Admin Pro.

  • Linking asset tracking tables

    Hi all,
    Can anyone help me with connecting tables mtl_material_transactions and fa_mass_additions.
    I am using asset tracking, and after issuing item from inventory, it finishes in FA. How can I now which mass_addition belong to which material_transaction?
    Best regards, Thanks for help

    Varun,
    Can you tell me the linking of FI tables with different modules
    It would require a book to answer your question.  Log onto a system and look at the repository (SE84), which contains info about tables and fields and programs that link objects.
    which are the important fields in those tables.
    All fields are important.
    Unfortunately, this forum is not suitable for this type of question.  I encourage you to obtain one of the many FI textbooks available and study this.  Also, SAP offers many fine FI classes which would be another opportunity for you to get the basic FI knowledge you require.

  • SGD, inventory management & asset tracking functions

    Is anyone using an app that allows scheduling of the servers within the database & displaying in with the main body @ single sign-on using the current UI?
    If so, please point me in the direction - I've pieced together a few apps that do what I need & can be displayed on the webtop, but this isn't seemless. The inventory & asset management should come from the existing db - that part shouldn't be too hard.

    Thanks for responding - I've finally had some time to finish digging through all the docs
    For my business need I'm using sgd as a central portal to manage resources inside a development lab & provide statistical accounting on activity per user/project.
    *ens already provides the user > app relationship based on rights displayed on left panel display - default setup
    **Asset tracking, monitoring, resource management, reporting & basic datacenter management all rolled into the default page.
    *central management - done currently with root or Admin profile - this right grants all access
    ** "sub-admin role " this role can be limited to only modify rights for current group membership - nothing under parent "ROOT"
    My current workaround involves:
    OCS-NG - inventory & automated package deployment
    OSSIM - monitoring
    GLPI - frontend for ocs data - helpdesk UI -
    These apps that launch within webtop - to make it easy
    *** guess I just need to build the correct JSP & integrate into default login for user
    user A logins > SGD (single sign-on integration with all three apps & custom webtop displayed)
    *** Director structure is setup in SGD already - so most of the RMS type activities just need to be setup in the database tree & displayed ** think I found this through custom app via NetBeans, SunStudio , Glassfish/sailfish
    I'll stop for now I can go on & about all the ways this product can be used.
    Thanks for reading > currently playing with NBIDE6 to see if I can whip something up over the weekend to test.

  • Replacing Assets Works, and Doesn't Work.

    I'm using a Dell 720 PC, QuadCore processor, Windows XP with all current service packs and patches, 4GB RAM, and Premier Production Studio CS3 (with all patches).
    I have a dual-boot system, with a "Clean" install (only the OS, Premier, TMPGEncXpress and Cineform NeoScene) on one disk, and a "Messy" install on another disk (all the above listed software, plus everything else under the sun, including anti-virus and anti-spyware software, email/ftp clients Nero 7 etc).
    I have an HD (1440x1080, 30FPS) project which was originally created on the Messy system. It's about 8 minutes long and created with a Canon XH-A1. The project consists of a video file (created in Adobe Media Encoder from the original Premier Pro CS3 project), one menu, one sub-menu, and two audio tracks.
    I booted to the Clean system and opened the project. I had done some work on the audio tracks, and rather than re-do the entire DVD and menus, I used Encore's "Replace Asset" feature and swapped the old audio track with the new one. No problem.
    Then I wanted to replace the main video asset with another, slightly higher quality version. I used the "Replace Asset" feature, as above, to replace the old video (a 250 MB M2V file) with the new one (also an M2V file, just slightly larger).
    It seems Encore replaces the video in a 2-step process. The progress bar zipped across to 100% on the first step, then rapidly went to 50% on the second step. From there, the time-to-completion indicator continued to increase, but the process never progressed past 50%. I looked at Windows' Task Manager, and my Quad Core processor was running at 25% overall and there was almost no disk activity. After 5 minutes, I cancelled the operation. Encore never recovered, and I had to kill it. I tried again, with the same results.
    I tried the exact same steps on the Messy Windows installation, and had no trouble replacing the video asset (it took about 6 seconds), so "something" on the Clean system is screwed up. I'd actually expect the Clean system to be the more reliable of the two!
    Do you think a reinstall of Encore is the only way to solve this? Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, what was the solution?
    Thanks.

    Are you using the same file name to replace the assets?
    If so - try using a different name for each incremental version instead as the cache might be getting confused/corrupted due to (apparent) multiple instances of the same asset.
    Failing that, what happens if you create new timelines instead of attempting to replace?

  • Asset tracking software

    Hi,
    I'm looking for some asset tracking software to monitor and manage around 1,000 Windows machines (various OS) and 500 thin clients.  Being able to report on hardware/software config and metering the devices to prevent unauthorised/unlicensed software
    from being run are also requirements.
    I've used Express Metrix before, but have been unimpressed with the interface.  Would anybody be happy to give their opinions on applications they've used before with pros/cons?
    Cheers
    Andy

    For assest tracking software, you can try this Assest management software (
    http://www.itassetmanagementtool.com/ ) to track, manage software inventory. It helps generating different report that help convening available licenses .

  • Asset Tracking Module -Can I track part of any item..?

    Hello, I wonder in Asset Tracking module can I track any item part of an item. Example I have an A item and also B item. B item is part of A item. Can I track B item in asset tracking module and how?
    Thanks.

    If you are using EAM, then you can define the Printer as parent asset and Cartridge as child asset and establish the Parent-Child relationship.

  • Problems with Refresh / Deleting Tracks and Album ...

    There are times when refreshing the Music Player library either won't complete (eg: after you've dropped the phone popping out the battery in the middle of a refresh .. or is that just me?) or deleted tracks and album art won't disappear from the Music library after a refresh.
    These problems are often down to corruption of the library and  the only thing to do is to delete the library files and start over.  Even a hard reset of the phone won't fix this as the files are stored on the card / mass memory.
    To delete the library files:
    - Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
    Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
    Select "Show hidden files and folders"
    - Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
    - Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
    E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
    E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
    E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
    (assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E
    Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd.  Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
    If you rename files - eg: by adding a ".o" to the end of the name - instead of deleting them, you can always just change the name back if you find you need those files back.
    - Refresh the Music Player library
    This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.

    Hi,
    What version of Workspace Manager are you using ? I tested this with 9.2.0.4 and everything worked as expected. I was unable to update the row from the WK2 workspace after refreshing it.
    Please note that after removing WK1, all locks that had been held by the WK1 workspace are dropped. So, when you update the row for a second time, you are actually locking the row that had been merged(which is contained in the TOP workspace) and not the row from the LIVE workspace. So any workspace that references the row from the LIVE workspace, and not the one from the TOP workspace, would be able to update the row.
    This is the case that exists before refreshing WK2. However, after refreshing WK2, it will then use the row from the TOP workspace. Since this row is locked it would be unable update the row.

  • I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

    I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

    Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

  • Asset tracking program

    Hi all
    there is a program that im not sure how to go about doing, that wants to create an asset t-racking program that will track 4 types of assets: electronics, automobiles, furniture and cd's. Which classes would you use to design this program? would you define four unrelated classes or one superclass and four subclasses? if you design a superclass, will it be an abstract superclass?
    Implement the asset tracking program. allow the user to add, modify and delete electronic appliances, auto's, furniture and cd's. allow the user to list the assets by category and search for an asset by its serial number...
    I was thinking of utilizing an arraylists in this program. Any suggestions on how to approach this problem would be great thanks :/

    I'd start with a pencil and a blank sheet of paper. An abstract Asset class and concrete child classes seem to be a good place to start. What information is common to all your assets? For example, asset number, asset description, purchase date, purchase price, accumulated depreciation, current location.
    What information is unique to the child classes? Serial numbers on automobiles and electronic gear? Automobiles have lots of identification numbers: engine numbers, VINs, registration, insurance. CDs have a title and artist(s) with tracks. Furniture is different again, type (desk, chair, etc), colour, finish.
    You need another class with collections of assets, perhaps AssetRegister. This is the class you put methods in to list and search assets.

  • Remote Office with Location tracking and WIPS

    Hey guys,
    I have a question about Cisco wireless for remote offices. My client is switching to Cisco for their wireless. The services that is going to be needed are location tracking and WIPS and data. The data part may come later and it is not approved yet. For now, it is going to be just location tracking for rogue devices etc and wIPS.
    I know for data we can do Flexconnect, but for location tracking and wIPS, how are we going to deploy this? Does Flexconnect APs would be able to do LBS and wIPS services and data?
    We currently have Moto APs deployed with 3 radios which is capable of LBS, wIPS, and data. Basically, the 3rd radio does the LBS and wIPS. Also, we are using the RF-Domain Manager per branch office. I am not sure if Cisco has something similar.
    Thanks

    So, you could do FlexConnect for the remote offices, but RLDP (wired detection) might not work:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10315/products_tech_note09186a0080b3690b.shtml#anc8
    Domain Manager should be similar to PI:

  • Getting Asset Name and ID using postgreSQL command line

    Hi,
    I`m excited by the possibility of getting/putting Annotations from/to FCSvr from command:
    /Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "select * from pxtcmdvalue;"
    Using grep and awk (print) it`s possible to extract individual fields. But first I need to identify
    Assets Names with Assets ID`s.
    Anyone know how to get from command line an asset name from ID and vice versa?
    In other words: If I grep for the ID and awk for the 3, 4, and 5 column I can extract TCIN, TCOUT and the Annotations from that Asset ID. But I want to know what Asset is and write to a text file with the asset name and not the asset ID.
    The syntax would be more or less like this:
    For each ID on the pxtcmdvalue (first column is entityID) get from FCSvr (or from db) the AssetName the columns with TCIN, TCOUT and Value of Annotations. Put (append if more than one entries) this on a tabulated text file named after AssetName.
    I`m sorry for not being so "program write" like, but I try! ahaah
    Thanks!

    Hey guys,
    Thank you very much for all this help! Especially fbm! Thanks a lot!
    Regarding inserting into annotation I could manage to do that , as I`ve said, I`m stubborn! hehehehe
    with this command you can insert an annotation (ONE with each command) into a clip:
    /Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "INSERT INTO pxtcmdvalue VALUES (72, 1527, '00:35:41;09/(30000,1001)', '00:36:28;24/(30000,1001)', 'if works I`ll be very happy!', 1, '2009-03-15 19:31:15.839795-03');"
    Of course, remembering to change all things inside single quotes.
    The only catch is that you`ll have to know the entityid for the asset in question. Of course, looking into fbm post above it`s possible to "translate" the entityid into the ASSETID, but I don`t know how to parse this inside the parentheses. Maybe letting the "72" (in my case) entityid as "entityid" and outside the parentheses translating with INNER JOIN???
    We`re almost there!! I`m glad that this is here, opened to every one that wants to adventure into FCSRV "dark" side!
    Just remember, this is NOT supported by APPLE! I`m testing this on a test FCSRV installed on a mini (yes I could "hack" into the "detecting hardware" and disable to manage to install).
    Just one more thing: I`ve read somewhere that the pxatommap table has ALL that FCSRV could provide (and of course yours custom md). I`m trying to get ALL this fields to each asset. I`ve tried the command:
    /Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT * FROM pxatommap INNER JOIN pxmdvalue ON pxatommap.id = pxmdvalue.fieldid"
    But it`s very messy and it`s not for one asset.
    Thanks again you all that took the time to post to help others like me!
    Regards!

  • Use shipments for track and trace

    I'm investigating the option of using Shipments for Track & Trace.
    The process that we would like to cover is as follows:
    1. (web) order is created by customer. The goods will be collected in our shop.
    2.  STO is created, based on SO. supplying site/plant is our DC, receiving site / plant is our shop
    3.  The DC post goods issue (for outbound delivery)
    4.  The goods are picked up by our carrier
    5.  The goods arrive at our carriers warehouse
    6.  The goods are issued from our carriers warehouse
    7.  Our shop receives the goods (Goods Receipt on STO)
    We would like to monitor step 4, 5 and 6
    We thought of creating a shipment for the delivery and either use the Deadlines or Stages.
    I would like to get some advice about what is the best solution.

    Hi,
    As far as my knowledge, the functionality of tracking and tracing the vehicle in a shipment is not possible in ERP.
    You may want to explore the use of Transportation Management (TM8.0) for this purpose.
    Thanks.

  • Functionality / modules currently available in MySAP for asset tracking.

    Hi All,
    We have a new requirement in the asset accounting. If any one have come accross can you let me know the feasibility and the process.
    1.Functionality / modules currently available in MySAP for asset tracking.
    2.Could MySAP support data input from other external devices e.g. scanner.
    3.What kind of asset level info is stored in MySAP and how they are modified along the asset life cycle
    Thanks nd Regards
    Srihari Bolla

    Yes this is possible.
    In the asset itself you have the fields Last inventory on and Include asset in inventory list
    From SAP you can print barcodes (asset and asset sub number) that you can put on your assets TC S_ALR_87010137 - Bar Codes . There is a standard SAP script for this, but you can create your own one.
    The date you want to use for your tracking you can get ot ouf the table ANLA
    For all the barcode's reader there is software that can create a file. This file you upload with an LSMW in SAP that updates the field Last inventory on.

Maybe you are looking for
