Asset Management and Bundle Reporting

So I've installed and configured ZR5 in our zone a couple of weeks ago. In preparation for ZCM 11.3 to be released. We are currently running 11.2.4.
A few things I'm not sure I like about it though. Perhaps some of you will have some thoughts on these.
1. In ZRS, I was able to run usage reports and get the total time a specific machine had xyz application open during the past week. In ZR5, I can get all the fields to show in an Ad Hoc View, but I can't seem to figure out how to summarize the Hours Active field so there is only one line for the machine. It seems to break out the Hours Active per launch.
2. When I try to create an Ad Hoc View to look at bundle launch information, I can't figure out how to relate the bundle information back to the Inventory information. I want to pull the Entered User Name for devices on which the bundle has been run.
Also as a side note, I've tried to use the Jaspersoft Studio 5.5 and it works great. I can see and modify existing reports. It took a bit of work to get the Security certificate to work though. I had to follow some steps found in the Jaspersoft forums and FAQ. Will there be more information on how to use this tool as well as the web interface to come?

Hello noelgroom,
1. In ZRS, I was able to run usage reports and get the total time a specific machine had xyz application open during the past week. In ZR5, I can get all the fields to show in an Ad Hoc View, but I can't seem to figure out how to summarize the Hours Active field so there is only one line for the machine. It seems to break out the Hours Active per launch.
Did you try creating a crosstab instead of a table view? In a cross tab, you can see 'Active Hours' Field at a highest level and drill down into breakup of it. To create a cross tab, after selecting fields, you can click on 'Crosstab' instead of 'Table'.
2. When I try to create an Ad Hoc View to look at bundle launch information, I can't figure out how to relate the bundle information back to the Inventory information. I want to pull the Entered User Name for devices on which the bundle has been run.
You can try using the field 'Device Name' & 'User' present in Bundles & Policies->Deployment.
Also as a side note, I've tried to use the Jaspersoft Studio 5.5 and it works great. I can see and modify existing reports. It took a bit of work to get the Security certificate to work though. I had to follow some steps found in the Jaspersoft forums and FAQ. Will there be more information on how to use this tool as well as the web interface to come?
Great to see that you are using Jaspersoft Studio 5.5. We plan to move to it in our next release and till then you can refer Jaspersoft forums for more informations.
Let me know, if it helps.
Thanks,
Vikram

  • 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

    Hi Stephanie,
    SAP Real Estate Management is made to manage space, room reservation, moves, lease administration and so on, while SAP Enterprise Management is used in a property management environment to manage repairs, maintenance and services. SAP Real Estate Management provides Usage and Architectural Master Data Object to display the portfolio, while SAP Enterprise Asset Management provides so called Functional Locations. In SAP Real Estate Management there is an option to automatically create and/or update Functional Locations in SAP Enterprise Asset Management and a BAdI to synchronize Fixture & Fittings on SAP Real Estate Management objects with entries in the Classification System in SAP Enterprise Asset Management.

  • What is Managed  and unManaged reports

    Hi ,
      Can  some one tell me the difference between managed and unmanaged reports that is mentioned in the RAS developer library.
    thanks,
    Prem

    If report is Managed, you have to  first publish the same report in Enterprise first and then only you can use that report inside your application.So managed report implies that Enterprise is aware of report.
    If report is Unmanaged ,you can access the report by specifying its path inside your code.Unmanaged reports do not require authentication or other logon procedures to access them. Components that support unmanaged reports include the Java Reporting Component and unmanaged Report Application Servers

  • 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.

  • Integrating barcode asset management and LR

    I have discovered to my delight that you can integrate Lightroom and barcode based print asset management. This is a way to:
    automate the printing of labels for images without any rekeying of information, and
    automate the process of finding the image from which a print was made
    Why do this? You may sell prints or just make them for your own pleasure. It is good practice to provide some labelling of prints so you (or the buyer) knows what they are looking at. It can be helpful to be able to quickly find the source image of a print. Of course you can just include the filename in the label and type it in to find the source image. But the labels produced look a bit messy with a sometimes arbitrary filename stuck in there. An option is to include a neat barcode on the label. You can then use your webcam to read the label and direclty insert the filename in the LR search field. Presto! Up pops the image from which the print was made.
    Caveat: Apologies to Mac users, I have only worked this out on a PC. I'm sure there are substitutes for each of the things I've used.
    What you need to do this [on a PC]:
    Lightroom (LOL)
    LR/Transporter (incredibly useful for many things)
    Excel (optional but part of my workflow)
    A way to print labels with barcodes. I use a cheap Brother label printer which comes with the P-Touch Editor software.
    A webcam
    Webcam barcode reader software. I use bcWebCam which is free
    How I do it:
    I'll sketch how I do it with the specific gear I have and then suggest how you may get by with other gear.
    Simplest workflow:
    Set up LR/Transporter to export a summary file from image exports that includes all the fields you may want on your label (including filename of course). Format for  comma delimited a CSV file with a header line to define the exported fields. This is saved and reused as an export preset. Routlinely I can then select the images I am printing and export them to a dummy folder which I use for the purpose of transferring Image information.
    I use my label printer software with a template that merges the CSV file data onto a label, with the filename printed as a QR barcode. I generally put one label directly on the print reverse and, if framed, another on the frame rear. With high quality art prints I only do the latter to avoid any possibility of problems of with the adhesive discolouring the paper obverse. Here's an example.
    Having previously installed bcWebCam, if I need to find an image that needs a bit of a search (only likely if I've not worked on it recently), I load bcWebCam while LR is running, place my mouse cursor in the search field in the library view (having selected the root of my catalogue), and hold the print label in front of the web cam. Presto! bcWebCam inserts the filename in the search field and up pops the image in LR!
    In reality, I use excel as an intermediary to read the LR/Transporter data and reformat some items. One reason is the GPS information exported by LR/Transporter has some weird characters in it and they need to be cleaned out. Characters with accents or umlauts also need some special treatment. Excel also lets me define how many of each label I want printed... The label printer software reads the excel file as a database and allows printing of the required number of labels.
    If you are interested in this solution you are likely to have tens or hundreds of thousands of images in which case camera generated filenames will not be unique. I add a month and year in import and conversion to DNG into LR to ensure filenames are unique. There are a range of other work-arounds that may suit your workflow better. But remember, you need something that LR will find in a single search. It may be you create a unique identifier in a EXIF or IPTC field - this will work too...  Some smart bunny may point out to me there is some foolproof automatic unique identifier for each image built into LR which can be accessed and exported but I am not aware of it. I guess image creation time (to the second) comes pretty close but I cannot see how to search on this from a search field entry...
    Where you may need to find some workarounds:
    If you are on a PC, the one thing that is not available on the net is the barcode label printer. In the past I used to print labels on multi-label sheets with a laser printer. It's not obvious to me how to translate the unique image identifier into a barcode for this approach but I'm sure there will be one out there. But I came to the conclusion that a dedicated "on demand" label printer would save a huge amount of messing around. I think the Brother model I use is about US$79 which doesn't exactly break any bank. And the continuous paper roll I use means labels end up about 2.5 cents a pop...  What makes this or even the more capable models (with auto-cutters) such a great deal is the P-touch sofware which does do all the linking of database to label and info field to barcode. This is worth the price alone I reckon. There are other free and for-fee webcam barcode readers out there too; the one I've noted works for me...
    This may sound pretty complex to set up. But the reality is, once export, database and print templates are in place, it's all automatic.

    Hi,
    Great use of LR/Transporter
    The strange characters result from the fact that LR/Transporter outputs files with a UTF-8 encoding.  You need to be able to read that so see them.  Most applications can read UTF-8 nowadays.

  • Digital Asset Management and FCP

    I am trying to find a reasonably priced piece of software to allow me to create a keyword searchable database for video (P2 style and others), and Photos, as well as some other hard assets where I can type a keyword and find, as well as view, all assets taged with that keyword. Idealy the database would live on a drive raid attached to my FCP system so that I could quickly find the assets and then immediately edit the assets into a timeline. The wave in these types of database programs seems to be to make the media web searchable and viewable. These features are not so important to me. I just want to organize a lot of stuff cheaply and efficiently, and idealy in one program that searches and views. Does this exist?

    David, I'm very happy to report that Canto Cumulus is no longer a problem I have to deal with!
    I used to have to deal with the Cumulus Workgroup edition for Mac ... Canto were an absolute nightmare as they dragged there feet for nearly 2 years before finally coming out with an OSX version ... and then they based it on Java, not a true OS X port.
    We paid for the UAP ... ha ha ha, thats a joke. An upgrade advantage program where you pay extra to ensure you get free upgrades ... and then there aren't any.
    When I tried to get info on their EJAP architecure they were hopeless. No support whatsoever. Attend a course in Berlin or New York or nothing (not much use when you live in Hong Kong).
    And when it comes to their pricing policy? They just love to gouge their existing customers ... lord knows how they stay in business.

  • PR05 access Travel Manager and Expense Report screen

    Hi,
    Can anyboy suggest how to use T Code PR05?
    1. When I enter T Code PR05, first screen is for Travel Expense Manager. This screen is used by Manager to Approve or Reject Travel Expense Report. Then I have to click on create button to get into Travel Expense screen.
    Can we get into Travel Expense screen in T Code PR05 directly instead of getting into Travel Manager screen?
    If yes, please suggest what settings needs to be done?
    2. Can we create Travel Request in T Code PR05?
    3. Can we manage the Travel Manager screen and Travel Expense screen seperately by Security, such that, Traveller should access only Travel Expense screen. He shouldnot get into Travel Manager screen. Similarly, Manager should be able to access only Travel Manager screen but not Create Travel Expense Report screen.
    Please suggest.

    I'm not sure if I get your point but PR05 functions are build on authorizations.
    So if the manager should only be able to approve than you can give only this authorizations to the manager. (transaction PFCG)
    And for Approval from Manager you should set up a worfklow with a work item - so the manager should only have display rights for PR05.
    (Or even better - just use WebDynpro POWL for the manager to approve without a workflow running in the back)
    Yes you are able to create a travel request via PR05 - just enter future date.

  • How set authorizations for sales reports and other reports in SAPB1

    Hi, I'm currently working in SAP Business One Version 8.82
    The issue I'm facing is that I want to set it up so that certain users cannot see other users' sales information.  I know that I can turn on or off the Sales Analysis Report for various users for instance, but what I really want specifically is this.  Suppose we have 3 different teams: Team A consists of (Angie, Angela, and Anita the manager), Team B consists of (Bob, Barbara, and Ben the manager), Team C consists of (Cat, Charlie, and Courtney the manager).  I would like to make it so that everyone can view the individual sales order documents of everyone else (in case a customer calls and needs information, but the salesperson who created that document isn't there); however, Angie should only see her own orders when she does a Sales Analysis while Anita, the manager of Team A, should see the the orders of Angie, Angela, and herself of course.
    To summarize, I'd like to see the following
    1.  Each salesperson can lookup and view any sales order.
    2.  Each salesperson can run an sales report to view all his/her own open sales orders.
    3.  Each manager can run a sales report on his/her subordinates, but not on the other managers or their subordinates.
    4.  The boss or other people working in corporate are able to run a report on all open sales orders.
    What's the best way to approach this?  Is it best if I create my own report?  I haven't created any reports from scratch yet, so I'm not sure exactly how that works.  I'd like to be able to group the salespeople up by location if possible.  The sales analysis report doesn't really do that, but it is useful.  I just don't want everyone to be able to see the numbers on their peers.
    Thank you I appreciate any help or advice.

    Hi,
    1.  Each salesperson can lookup and view any sales order.
    Answer:
    Create own report by using query and save under query manager and the assign for all group. So that all sales person can run this query  and can get sales order detail.
    2.  Each salesperson can run an sales report to view all his/her own open sales orders.
    Answer:
    Create individual query ( add condition in where clause slpname = 'XXX') for each sales person and save it under query manager and assign to particular user group
    3.  Each manager can run a sales report on his/her subordinates, but not on the other managers or their subordinates.
    Answer:
    Create query for only particular team (  condition is slpname = XXX OR YYY OR ZZZ) and save under query manager. Make schedule report on this and send it to only particular manger
    Same way create for another manager and schedule report.
    4.  The boss or other people working in corporate are able to run a report on all open sales orders
    Answer.
    Create query for all sales person and schedule report to big boss.
    Hope you can get an idea.
    Let me know if you need sales report ( advice required field)
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Bridge/Prelude/Premiere/Encore, Arrrgh! Workflow/Asset Managment overload! Help.

    I've been viewing a tutorial series in addition to some random one's on the web, mostly covering functionality, but what isn't clear to me (yet) has to do with asset management and workflow. I know enough to understand that these two areas are the most important aspects of the whole process; without organized asset management and an orderly, systematized, hierarchical approach to accomplishing tasks the creative side of things will suffer dramatically at the worst time.
    Regarding asset management, I have three separate drives for for audio, video, and stills. All the files reside in their original locations except for video files that I originally had stored on my stills drive. These video files were copied to my video drive into the Adobe Folder> Premiere Projects Folder> Project Name Folder. In addition, I have a folder on the video drive called "Raw Footage" that I'm using for random footage unrelated to any project; sort of a personal stock footage resource.
    As a practice project for the tutorial series I'm using assets from a 45 day Rail Pass tour I took a few years ago. Assets include SDDV. m2ts, and mov, files with different sample rates, in addition to jpg and psd files.
    Where would the following programs come into play and at what point in the workflow does the transition from one to the other begin and/or overlap?
    Bridge
    Prelude
    Premiere
    Encore
    Where does Bridge come into play and when?
    There are folders with m2ts files on my stills drive that I've copied and pasted to my video drive. Should I have used Prelude to ingest and "Transfer Clips To Destination" ("destination" being my video drive)? Should I have transcoded to a less resource hungry format and, if so, does Prelude create an EDL that can be used to conform the final edit replacing the low rex clips files the the original higher rez files?
    I know I have to capture SDDV as DV (not HDV) with Premiere but what else do I need to know about such capture? As far as actual editing goes the tutorials are covering a lot of that.
    Eventually I'll use Encore to author a proper DVD that is compatible with every DVD or Blu-ray player. Right?
    I guess the question could be, "What is yout multi asset workflow?"
    I feel like such a noob.
    Thanks.

    Michael,
    I thought that might be the case. Sigh!
    Well, as far as I can tell, if I were you, I would offer it with an alI I-Frame option first. That would probably be the easiest to implement cleanly. Those who can shoot that way would probably start shooting that way. Me included.
    Then, take the AVCHD from a few of the most popular cameras, Canon, Nikon and of course, the Panasonic DMC-GH3 (my camera) and whatever video cameras are popular right now. Back up to the beginning of the long GOP and finish at the end of the long GOP. There is no need to get too specific with frames for subclips. After all, anyone who does not leave handles on their subclips while ingesting gets what they deserve anyway. In fact, there should be an option to always add one second of handles to every subclip. Personally I would leave that on as a default.
    As for me, I recently posted a few videos using different codecs for people to download to test them. The links can be found in this forum post along with a short discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1239519?tstart=0
    I usually use 50Mb/s 60p using the MOV format, but if I was to shoot anything serious, I would probably shoot 72Mb/s 24p. Keep in mind, that if Adobe made it possible to ingest subclips without transcoding,I would change what I shot to all I-Frame for almost everything, either at 30p or 24p. And if you did it for my 60fps MOV files, I would be ecstatic.
    I don't shoot AVCHD but I suppose that so many people do that the moment you gave the feature to all I-Frame shooters, there would be a huge clamor for AVCHD.
    In my opinion, this could be a major game changer and everyone who could would start using Prelude without a second thought. Like photographers are flocking to Lightroom 5, this would be the videographers Lightroom. Reelroom? Naw. Prelude is a good enough name.

  • 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.

    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.
