Extending the SCCM Database to have a custom table

We have almost completed the Windows 7 migration process in our organisation using SCCM however now a new requirement has been put forward. Our organisation has a few large branch offices but the rest, which forms the majority of the estate, is made up of
around 400 subnets (i.e. tiny buildings with 3-4 machines at max at each site). The requirement that has now been put forward is that each machine at these 400 odd sites should have an environment variable/registry value set to reflect the name of that building.
Setting environment variable sounds like the way forward. But if it is to be processed as part of SCCM inventory (for later reporting), should the DB be extended to accommodate this extra information and how?
The next challenge is how to configure this environment variable on all the rolled out Windows 7 machines? Any ideas? The ones to be built can somehow be accommodated by changing the build process to include a custom application to select the building name
and set the TS variable which can be used later in the TS (Thanks to OSD++ Jason Sandys). But what about those already in the estate?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Thanks Jörgen. Will look into it.
The Win32_Environment class is already enabled in the client policy, so presumably it will include the new environment variable during the subsequent inventory scan? Do I need to
do anything extra on the inventory side of things?
Thinking in another direction, say if I had a list (csv) of subnet to "building name" mapping, would that come in handy in achieving the goal? This is where I was think if SCCM database
can be extended so that we will have a mapping between subnet table to have this extra information.

How to extend the WebUI product search results with customer attributes

Hello,
We are using CRM 7.0. We want to extend the WebUI product (Object) searches with customer attributes and to display customer attributes in the search results. We found the note 1026956 that explains how to extend the WebUI product (Object) searches with customer attributes. We want to know if there is also some note that explains how to display customer attributes in the search results for products/Objects.
Thanks in advance,
Sergey Kozyrev

Sergey,
I doubt whether there exists such note. The note 1026956 which you mentioned is for enhancing the Search for Custom attributes. For Enhancing the Result list you need to do custom development.

Steps to extend the schema if I have no access to the web console

Hello,
I am usin DS 6.2. The web console is not applicable in my case. So I must extend the schema manually.
I want to add an attribute type and an objectclass. I do have a test server and I did
ldapsearch -L -b "cn=schema" objectclass='*'
and then took what I need:
dn: cn=schema
changetype: add
attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.9.1.333 NAME 'orclnetdescstring' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.40 X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
objectClasses: ( orclservice-oid NAME 'orclservice' SUP top STRUCTURAL MUST cn MAY orclnetdescstring X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
When I do:
ldapadd -c -h hostname -p 389 -D "cn=Directory manager" -w password -f myldif
adding new entry cn=schema
ldap_add: Object class violation
I tried to add these lines
attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.9.1.333 NAME 'orclnetdescstring' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.40 X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
objectClasses: ( orclservice-oid NAME 'orclservice' SUP top STRUCTURAL MUST cn MAY orclnetdescstring X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
to 99users.ldif and restarted the server. No progress.
any idea please?

You can either use 2 "changetype:modify" operations (not changetype:add since you're trying to modify an existing entry), or you can stop you DS, then edit the 99user.ldif by hand and start it again .

subba

Hi Subbu,
Schedule the program as a background job in transaction SM36 ---> Define Background Job
In SM36 you can find push button Start condition in that u have Date/Time Push button click on it. Specify the date and time when you want to schedule the program to run.
Now below you can find a push button Period values click on it here you get another pop up Period values.
As you want to schedule for every 3 to 4 minutes click on Other period push button.
Here you get another pop up Explicit period values now specify the time minutes field as per your requirment and click on OK.

Dmharley what is causing you to reinstall? Was there any changes made to the computer recently? Did you restore from a system restore point or time machine back up? What operating system are you using Creative Suite 4 on?

Is there any API for pushing update patch related data from qualysguard in SCCM database?

The problem is that, my company want to integrate SCCM with qualysguard. The qualys will scan for missing patches and will generate a patch report. From this patch report
required data will be extracted and pushed into the SCCM database.I have sorted out the issue of extracting data from qualys, but I am stuck up at the point of pushing patch data in update repository. I tried searching for some API which could push data in
database of SCCM, but unable to find. I thought of making my own script to run the sql query but this will ultimately screw the database of SCCM since there may be 60-70 table dependency.
Please suggest any SCCM API which can help me to push data in its database(particularly in the tables interacting with the update repository).

We had looked into doing something similar, and this post is the closest we found.
https://community.qualys.com/thread/11816
Basically you will need a middle-man between Qualys and ConfigMgr to house the data. This may be a new database, or a whole seperate platform. I expect this could easily be done with SQL and SSRS.
Also note, database edits to the ConfigMgr database are
not supported by Microsoft, I would recommend using a central system to pull data from Qualys and ConfigMgr without modifying either.

Customizing table in quality & production

Hi all,
Here's a simple question.
In the Development environment:
I have a customizing table ZPWCFG_INC with the following attributes:
Delivery Class C Customizing table, maintenance only by cust., no
Data Browser/Table View Maint. Display/Maintenance Allowed
I also have a table maintenance dialog for ZPWCFG_INC with the same name, generated with "no, or user, recording routine"
This means that in Dev it does not prompt me for transport request when i maintain the table entries in SM31.
Am I guaranteed to be able to maintain the table entries in QA and Production since now the table entries are not transportable?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi kevin,
1. Am I guaranteed to be able to maintain the table entries in QA and Production since now the table entries are not transportable?
No, it will not allow to maintain in QA and PRD. (unless the client is opened by basis team)
2. Bcos the table is having delivery class as C = customizing table.

Custom Table Authorization Control

Hi gurus-
I got the following scenerios-
The scenario is-
We have a custom table. On that custom table, there are couple of fields that we want to control access (display access, edit access, no access etc.) based on different user profile role. I know you can control access on table basis by Authorization Group but for access control within a field (some records within that field will be accessed by only few people, other records by other group of people), how can these be accomplished, if possible. Authorization Object Controls access for a particular field. But my understanding is for all records in the field. Can you subdivide those into different groups of records?
The logic is-
After user enters input values (key fields in the custom table maintenance program), the program looks up the authorization group for the user and checks if the key combination has authorization to change access, if yes it executes the program, otherwise returns an error message. Can you accomplish that with the use of another field like Profile Group to maintain a list of records for different user groups?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!

Hi,
you can ask your ABAP consultant to code in the table maintenance events. We need to call appropriate authorization objects in the events and allow/disallow the changes for a field/record based on the authorization.
If you want more details on TMG events, just search in SCN. We have lot of information on this.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Is there a way to have a search form for the CRM database?

I know there is a search form provided for the Web Apps. I can't seem to find how to create a search form for the CRM database. I have created a membership site, and also extended the CRM database with additional fields. I would like the users to be able to search on selected fields in the CRM database including the extended database fields. For example, I have a field called membership type in the extended database. I would like to be able to search on that in a search form. Is that possible?
Thanks

Sidney,
Your input is very helpful to put me on the track to find a workaround. As I tried using Web App approach, I get into a road block that hopefully you can help throw some light on.
This my scenerio: I created a Web App for holding the profile fields (called it Profile). I created a Page to display the Customer record (Names, usernames, email, etc, and I would also want to display the fields from the Profile Web App. I am at lost how to do that. Seems like I can only insert the web item list in that page but I actually want to display the Detall Layout instead of the List layout. To display the Detail Layout, I need to first manually choose the item before it will direct me to the Detail layout. I am trying to find a way to do this automatically based on the fact I have only one Profile web app item for each customer.
The question is whether there is a way to pull up a specific Profile web app item based on the customer's id or something that link the two together, using javascript or whatever method. Is there a tag to gives me the customer record id? If I can get that id, I could insert that id into one of the fields in the Profile Web App during creation of profile. Perhaps I can then pull up the profile item based on this id.
Thanks for all the help
Steve

Create new Generating style Extending the Classic Style

Hi all,
When creating an ITS screen, you can choose a Generating style.
Default (at our system) there are 3 templates available:
- Business HTML
- Classic
- WebGUI
is it possible to create an own Generating style?
At present we are using the CLASSIC STYLE.
However, I need to alter the generated TEMPLATE file every time I create one.
Is there some way that one could extend the CLASSIC style to have my own style generated to accommodate the modifications?
I have used the style as per the specifications of Mobile Template generator and that is not what I want. I want to extend the Classic HTML style.
This is a high priority issue for me. Thanks in advance.
Arup

Hi,
Thanks for the response. II have already used the Mobile Generator Style for my customized style generator and that is not what I want.
I need to extend the classic HTML style to create my own style to generate the Templates in the format I need.
Is there some documentation or some class from which I should extend to generate my Generator to be used.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Arup

Database adjustment for custom table with 200 entries

Hi,
We have a custom table which as 3 fields as composite primary key. we want to drop the last field from composite primiary key. Would it be required to do a manual database adjustment or would it automatically adjust the database if I make this change and trasport it.
Please advise.
Regards
Kasi

Hi,
    you have to adjust database manually using
    se11-utilities-database utiity-> click on
    activate and adjust database button .
    if you have table mainitainence defined delete
    existing table mainitainence and create a
    new mainitainence and assign this to request.
    so that when request is transported
    correction to databse are made in quality
    and production as well.
    select standrad recording routine radio in table
    table mainitainence generator to move table
    contents to quality and production by assigning
    to request.

         fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
}Thanx a lot in advance.

I have written custom table model which has single blank row intially.Why did you write a custom TableModel? The DefaultTableModel will work fine and it has methods that allow you to dynamically add rows to the table.

How to find the Table from which a Custom table is created.

Hi Gurus,
I have a custom table in SAP and want to figure how that has been created. How can I do that?
Regards
Prashant

Hello Prashant,
what do you mean by "how"?
When you say custom table do you mean "Customization table" or a "Customer table" (in namespace Z... or Y...)
Anyway, you can access SE11 transaction, view the table and then check its attributes.
