Tecra All Models - How to set Asset Tag

Hello,
For the past year we have used a tool to set the asset tag on toshiba notebooks. It runs from an external floppy drive, but the disk is overwritten en we do not have any copies of this tool.
I am pretty sure one of my colleagues downloaded this tool from the toshiba site but we are unable to find it anywhere. Can someone provide a download link or an alternative tool wich is able to set and display a notebook's asset tag.
The commands we used in this tool are
assettag /da
assettag /sa
Hope you can help
Kind Regards,
Sander74
_**UPDATE** The filename of this tool is assettag.exe**_

Thanks for your answers.
We tried to undelete the content of the overwritten floppy but we were not able to restore all data. We did manage to restore some text files, htm file and a diz file. I'll post the content below.
As you can see there a comments that suggest that this is indeed a toshiba tool. Perhaps someone reading this has better searching skills then i do.

hard disk. It has copied the following files to the
directory C:\Asst_tag

*_CONTENT OF ASSETTAG.HTM_*
SM BIOS Asset Tag Utility Version 1.02.1
Copyright (c) 1999 Toshiba America Information System. All rights reserved.
The SM BIOS Asset Tag Utility displays a variety of useful data fields from the SM BIOS. In addition, is capable of setting or changing the value of the asset tag field of the SM BIOS. Since the asset tag field is in the BIOS, the hard disk may be reformatted and reinstalled without effecting the field's contents.
This program is a command line, non-interactive program, suitable for use in batch files and other automated environments. It is a real mode DOS program, and can not be run in pure 32 bit environments such as Windows NT.
usage: ASSETTAG <switch> [string]
Switch
Usage
/DA
Display asset tag string
/DM
Display system manufacturer string
/DP
Display model string
/DC
Display chassis serial number string
/DS
Display system serial number string
/SA <string>
Write asset tag string
/F <filename>
Write asset tag string based on contents of specified serial number - asset tag mapping file (see format below).
The Asset Tag has a maximum length of 31 bytes.
Examples:
ASSETTAG /SA 12345
ASSETTAG /SA "123 456" (quotes to embed spaces.)
ASSETTAG /F ATLIST.DAT
The /F switch specifies that the asset tag to be written to the BIOS should be obtained from a file, the name of which is given as a parameter following the /F switch. This file contains a list of serial numbers and asset tags in the format:
Serial number white space Asset tag
Each line should contain a system serial number, with no leading white space. Following the serial number, one or more white space characters (space or tab) delimit the serial number from the start of the asset tag. The first following non-white space character is taken to be the start of the asset tag, which will continue until the end of the line. Thus, asset tags may not begin with white space, but can contain almost any character thereafter.
For example:
12345678 FA99485
TE992837 ACCT992
30899283 Loaner Unit
If the lines above were placed in a file and used by the assettag program, then a PC with the serial number of 12345678 would be set with the tag FA99485. A PC with the serial number 30899283 would be set with the asset tag value of Loaner Unit.

Matching Machine Serial Number to a Asset Tag

Is there a way to take the machine Serial Number (From System Profiler possiblely) and match it to a file that has Serial Numbers and Asset Tags from a inventory database?
1. Define Serial Number through System Profiler
2. Scan File with Serial Numbers and Asset Tags which are tied together.
3. Once match is made the Asset Tag is known
3. Make the Asset Tag a environment variable.
G4 1.42 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

You don't define the format of the file that contains asset numbers and serial numbers (and I think the 'tie together' is making it sound harder than it is.
In any case:
1. Define Serial Number through System Profiler
system_profiler will tell you this. You can ask for the specific hardware information, then parse out the serial number, like:
/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ { print $3}'
2. Scan File with Serial Numbers and Asset Tags which are tied together.
Without knowing this file format it's impossible to tell how to do this for sure, but if the file was a simple tab-delimited file of asset number<tab>serial number, then:
awk '/<serial_number>/ {print $1}' /path/to/asset_file
You can now string the two together, like:
#! /bin/sh
SERIAL=`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ { print $3 }'`
echo "Found serial number ${SERIAL}"
ASSETNO=`/usr/bin/awk "/${SERIAL}/ { print \\$1 }" /var/tmp/assets`
echo "Found asset number $ASSETNO"
export ASSETNO
Note the user of double-backslashes in the second awk to overcome shell expansion issues.

Artwork, podcast notes and editing ID3 tags

Hello
I'm trying to get to a point where information about the content of my show appears on the iPod, in iTunes and any other podcatching application/mp3 player. In my case that would be a artist/track listing of the music featured on my podcast.
I tried editing the ID3 tags under the 'media' tab in Libsyn by inserting the artist/track listing into the comments box but that didn't work. I then read about how to edit the ID3 tags using iTunes but that seemed to refer to editing the tags in a dowloaded podcast and not the tags on a podcast uploaded to Libsyn's server.
So, how do I edit my ID3 tags to achieve the results I'm looking for?
Oh.....and I'm also trying to do that thing where my logo will appear in iTunes and on an iPod when the podcast is playing but I'm not having much luck there either. I can't get the logo to appear in my iPod at all. I'm able to get it to appear in the flip section at the top of iTunes but shouldn't it also be in the bottom left hand corner of the iTunes window?
Thanks
Neil

I tried editing the ID3 tags under the 'media' tab in
Libsyn by inserting the artist/track listing into the

When you edit the ID3 tags in iTunes, the information is stored in the file. When this file is subsequently uploaded to a server, and then downloaded by a user, the tags carry through and are available to the user's iTunes/iPod. So you need to use iTunes to add whatever ID3 tags you want before uploading your file.
Hope this helps,
Greg.

Change Asset Tag Information

I am trying to find a way to remove/change the asset tag information on a range of Lenovo's.
In my research so far, I have found
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-75237
A lot of forums say this works in Windows and in Dos. Does anyone have a how to on using this program? I have tried in both Windows and Dos and neither one can I make it work.
Has anyone used this and know it works for what I want? Or does anyone know of a different way to edit the Asset Tag field in the BIOS?
Thanks,
-Shane

I have seen prompt whether such information is to be updated in doing BIOS updates. Which have been to date via the Windows package. HOWEVER, I would tread VERY cautiously in doing so. Its not for the faint of heart. If a MD is swapped the tech usually applies the serial # too it and not reason to effect any changes since it tied to the warranty.
Have you tried the US support line. If you get through to the American support team you will likely get the info you need. Otherwise try again and again.

E550 BIOS Asset Tag entry

Good Day,Can someone offer insight on how to populate the BIOS Asset tag got the Lenovo E550? The procedure we used for the E540 doesnt work for the E550.With the 440/540 we were able to use the WINAIAPackage.exe file to edit the Asset tag. This file doesnt run on the E450/550. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried this?
windows -> http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-75237
DOS -> http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS013515
I know it doesn't specifically say X1, but I think it should work. I haven't personally tried it on X1.
If it doesn't work, let me know and I will chase this down for you.

Asset tag value input

Is there any way to modify the value of the Asset Tag field for a device? We are running ZAM 7.00.0049 SP1 IR13.

I always assumed this is non-editable because it is the Asset Tag value
read from the PC's BIOS - not the Asset (Tag) number that you might stick
onto the machine case.
These may be the same thing - if you or your hardware supplier poke this
value into the BIOS on all new machines (e.g. if used to automate
workstation naming in the ZDM imaging build process). Many vendors just
use the Serial Number field by default, leaving the Asset Tag field blank
unless you ask them to use it.
Even if you circumvented the ZAM tools and edited this directly in the ZAM
database, I'd expect it to be replaced the next time that machine runs a
scan - with whatever is found in the BIOS
(You'd need to test this to know for sure - personally I wouldn't mess
with it, I'd add a UDF for my company's Asset Tag or get it inserted into
the BIOS field)

OBIEE 11g Analysis : Change Report edit link to go Criteria tab instead

How to change the setting to have the "Edit" to go to criteria tab instead of Results (Compond view)?
Many time we may need to change the filter from default setting and then run the report or if the filter is setup to be used from a dashboard (using "Prompted") option...then the report attmpts to run the report without values...
And I have not checked to see if the server cancels the query to the database when the user navigates to the Critetia Page as there is no cancel link...(as it displayed in 10g...)
FYI, We have just started using OBIEE 11g in a dev environment, we are in the process of configuring the new env to get ready for prod...
Thanks

Hi,
By default, the Action request is sent to results tab. You can modify it by editing the dashboardeditor.js file found in /app/res/b_mozilla/dashboards folder.
Steps:
1) Open dashboardeditor.js file.
2) Search for the function "DUIModifyReport".
3) Inside the function you will find that ***"&Action=results&Path="****
4) Change results to criteria. In other words, the changed code will look like
****"&Action=criteria&Path="*****
5) Re-deploy the code and bounce the services.
-- Remember, this will affect for entire dashboard, and for all users. ---
If you want to avoid step (5), then manually copy the changed dashboardeditor.js to /user_projects/domains/BIfoundation/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/$RANDOMFOLDERNAME$/war/res/b_mozilla/dashboards and bounce the services.
Voila - now when you edit the analysis through dashboard, it will take you to the criteria tab, instead of results tab.
Please award points, if it helps.

Bharath

Group box in asset master record's tab overlap each other

Hi Gurus,
I was wondering anyone has seen the same issue that I'm experiencing. I'm on EHP6 and have logged the issue with SAP but wondering if you've faced the same problem.
I basically designed a new tab layout with 2 tabs and assigned the following group box to the 1st tab
S0001     General
S0003     Time-Dependent Data
S0002     Posting Information
S0013     Equipment
to the 2nd tab I only assigned
S0009     Origin
S0100     Depreciation Areas
Then I assigned the new tab to the asset class.
Now when I create the asset through AS01, the tab and group boxes appear however the time-dependent group box overlaps with posting information (please see below). Have you experienced the same issue in your environment?
Thank you.

Dear Minab,
This is definitively the problem of overlapping of the layouts.
The asset master data transactions AS01, AS02 and AS03 uses a generic tool to define the screen layout. Unfortunately there are some restrictions on that tool which are based on basis functionality.
The problem is caused by compression and resizing (note 203023)
Since Release Enterprise there are more fields on that screen in Release Enterprise than before.
Hence, the problem is caused by the definition of your asset layout the solution in your case could be to move the screen to an own subscreen or to move this screen to the end of the tab.
Please go the customizing (transaction SPRO) and follow these steps:
   Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Master Data -> Screen
   Layout -> Specify Tab Layout for Asset Master Record -> Define Tab
   Layout for Asset Master Data
Select in your layout the relevant tab page.
Here you may need to change positions and group boxes around. Unfortunately there's no other solution possible due to technical restrictions.
best regards Bernhard

Assign the Asset "Tag Number" at PO receipt stage

Our customer has a requirement to enter the Asset Tag Number for an item when the purchase order is receipted (or even at inspection stage for 4-way match PO's). The tag number entered, should then flow through to the FA module.
Does anyone know if this can be achieved with standard functionality, or if it can be done with a customization?
Here is the basic flow steps, the words in brackets () are the change we're looking for.
1. Create PO for item coded to asset clearing account
2. Receipt PO (and assign the Asset Tag Number)
3. Match the PO to the AP invoice.
4. Validate and account the AP invoice and transfer that to GL.
5. Run the Mass Additions Create Process
6. Find the Asset in Mass Additions Create (the Tag Number field should be populated with the value entered in step 2)
7. Post Asset

Hi,
This is unfortunately not possible with standards but you may try using Badi ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST => PROCESS_ACCOUNT.

Not able to edit assets in Illustrator/Photoshop and save over existing assets in Edge animation

Not able to edit assets in Illustrator/Photoshop and save over existing assets in Edge animation to update image changes. Has Adobe changed this capability with new releases? Does this mean to update an asset on the Edge animation timeline, you have to copy and paste all the animations of that old asset over to the new imported asset?

Hi, CamShazam-
You should be able to save over existing assets in the images/ folder, then close and reopen the file. The other option is to save your assets and then use the swap image option in the properties panel. Is this what you're talking about? Thanks,
-Elaine

Adding editable region tags moves my content in non-editable regions

I have a template based on a template (the first with my navigation, and the second is based on the first with a sidebar added). When I add an editable region to the second template, it moves my sidebar down to leave a gap between the nav bar and the top of the sidebar. On the second template I want to add editable regions to the content area and to the sidebar. Even if I don't add any content to the editable reagions and just place the editable regions tags, my sidebar still moves down. I have tried adding two seperate editable regions and also adding one large editable region covering the content area and sidebar and the sidebar moved both times. My content area is a div floated left and the sidebar is a div floated right.
I don't understand why anything is moving when I am only adding tags to make an area editable

Do you have a container that the two divs are in and if so, are you clearing the floats? It's hard to give an answer without seeing the problem page.
