Inventory Database Move

I think I posted this originally in the wrong thread so I thought posting it here would get a better response.
We have Zen 7 installed on a Netware 6.5 SP6 server. When ever the database goes to process the collected data it will from time to time abend the server. Which when it does that we take a hit on our matrixs so to stop the abends we commented out the inventory database.
What we would like to do is move the inventory database from the server it's on now to another one. We still have the current box collecting the data just not processing it.
I found one topic on here about moving the database to a different volume on the same server and have it but wasn't sure if the process for moving the database around on the same server would be sufficient since we want to move it completely off to a different server.
Any help would be appreciated.

Probable BUG found in Sybase Inventory database

Hi All,
(Sure is quiet around here - must be because ZDM 7 is so stable...)
So I have been having inventory database issues. Random but inevitable
database failures - eg "assertion failed 201425" (and other numbers that I
cannot locate at the moment), "mgmtdbs.db is not a valid database file" on
starting the sybase database. Etc.
Long troubleshooting story short: it appears that the sybase.nlm application
cannot handle nss volumes that are large. In my case it fails if I try to
run it on a 3.6TB or 5TB volume, but succeeds if I run it on small volumes -
20GB to 65GB. Also the database was running fine on a 1.8TB volume - the
problems began when I virtualized the server (on ESX 3.5u4) and moved the
volume from direct-attached scsi storage to network-attached CoRAID (AoE)
storage AND expanded the volume to 3.6TB.
To test my theory I ran the database on two other servers and 3 other
volumes. In all cases success came when the hosting volume was small -
didn't matter if the host volume was direct attached or on a physical server
as opposed to a virtual server.
So if you are having inventory database problems, try moving the database to
volume that is small - I suspect the magic breaking point is 2TB which just
happens to be the maximum size of an NSS partition...and wasn't that also
the max size of an NSS volume sometime in the past? Maybe the sysbase
engineers were working in such an environment when they wrote the
nlm...after all it has been 4 years since it was last modified (I am running
v8.00.03, Nov 30 2005) and even longer since it was originally written.
Anyways, the reason it fails is not so important. There is a workaround and
a long term solution as well - move to ZCM 10.whatever-is-good ;-)

Isn't it funny how once unfathomable disk sizes are now not that unusual?
My guess is you are correct and if an SR was created on the issue Novell
would likey raise the matter to Sybase for investigation.
(Clearly this sounds as if its a bug and would be refunded.)
But I think it's unlikely that it would be fixed even if verified since the
NLM is already so old.
While you have simple work-arounds, It is possible that the Windows and
Linux versions of Sybase that come with ZDM don't have this issue.

Inventory Material Movement Report in R12.1.1

Dear All,
I am currently working in a implementation project. My client needs a Inventory Material Movement Report on Periodical Basis
Report Should show : Item Name, Item Desc, Sub Inventory, UOM, Opening Stock of that period, Receipts for that Period, Adjustments and Closing Balance.
Please suggest me how to go about this on the same. Please someone share the code if someone have any. What logic do i need to follow and where to pick the data.
It is show stopper for us now as we do not have any standard report.
Thanks,
Addy

Hi Aditya,
You can find all the information you need in mtl_material_transactions table. If you need code combination id too, you can make use of a standard view CST_INV_DISTRIBUTION_V. Other than these, you can join these tables for other info..
MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B MTL,GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS GCC.
In MMT, use qty <, > 0 for receipts and issues. use group by to get opening and closing balances.
Regards,
Siva Kumar.

Delete Inventory Database

This probably sounds stupid, but I'm looking for a way to just dump the
current ZEN7 Inventory Database and start it from scratch.
There's so much garbage workstation information in there, and I'm not at
all interested in querying the results, then filtering, purging, etc.
I want to blow it away, then start it from scratch. Is there a quick TID
on how to do this? Or am I manually deleting objects and then reinstalling
the Inventory portion of ZENworks?
Thanks for any help,
Brian

Just to follow-up, I had to install the ZEN 7.0 SP1 R2 anyway so I renamed
the old ZENworks folder that held all the ZEN database files. It let me
rename with no issues.
I kept the same settings and told it to install to the same volume as it
did before, so it simply created a new "Zenworks" folder and added all the
database files in there.
I went to run a report and it only contained like 4 workstations and all
the other ones were gone so that seemed to do the trick just fine. It's
been building perfectly and everything is looking great. Thanks again for
your help.

C1 Inventory Database object

I've been trying to install ZDM services on a OES2 server and have been having all sorts of trouble. After numerous reinstalls, I've decided to install the parts one at a time until I found what wasn't working, and it ends up being the Inventory Database. I have performed a new install of the Inventory Database only, it creates the object in ConsoleOne, I can configure the properties of it, but when I try to do the Tools->Zen Inventory-> Configure DB, I keep getting a message saying that it is unable to connect, check database properties and make sure that it is running.
The only property that I have changed is changing the server name from DNS address to IP address, nothing else. I've checked the services on the server and novell-zdm-sybase is running, but I'm not seeing any log files in /var/log/novell/zenworks, only the logs from installation. Any ideas at where I should be looking next? Thanks!

They are running, and all of the services that I have installed are also running, but I still get the error. I have noticed that when I have a clean install with only OES2 and ZDM everything works, but I also want to have GWMobile on the same server and that is usually where I run in to trouble. The only changes that I've made is the apache listen.conf file to different ports so that GWMobile works on the server, but after installing ZDM I get a "cannot contact relay server" from the localhost when I try to access the login page, but that is another issue. It seems like I can either install GWM or ZDM on the server it is fine, but they don't seem to get along together. Any ideas for something else to check would be great. Thanks!

Sync Inventory Database

I'm running ZFD32 SP3 on a 51SP7 server. To sync the inventory database
with the nds one I ran startser ndslookupfordb which ran fine and created
a lok file. When I ran the dbdelete command and looked at the log, I found
that there were about 10 entries that resembled the following...
1020: workstation <WS object name> not deleted because it is corrupted in
the database...wsid=0.
Any ideas on how to remove these corrupted workstation objects from the
database would be greatly appreciated.

Inventory database query

Hi!
I would like to get a report from Inventory database using SQL query with the following fields Novell username, Hostname, MAC Address, IP Address.
I can get IP address and MAC address using this query (but I can't get full report)
Maybe anybody knows how to get this report.
SELECT
u.name,
ip.Address,
ipx.Address,
mac.MACAddress
FROM
CIM.UnitaryComputerSystem u,
CIM.HostedAccessPoint s1,
CIM.IPProtocolEndpoint ip,
CIM.HostedAccessPoint s2,
CIM.IPXProtocolEndpoint ipx,
CIM.HostedAccessPoint s3,
CIM.LANEndpoint mac
WHERE
(s1.Dependent=ip.id$ and s1.Antecedent=u.id$) AND
(s2.Dependent=ipx.id$ and s2.Antecedent=u.id$) AND
(s3.Dependent=mac.id$ and s3.Antecedent=u.id$);

Or it may be report containing fields Machine name(Hostname), MAC Address, IP Address

Inventory Database files

Hi everyone,
I just came onboard a new job that has not been using ZENworks to its full advantage. They are currently only using it for remote control/view. Currently I am trying to setup their inventory database, but they do not have any of their original discs. I was wondering if anybody had the file p1mssqlinvdb.zip??? It is located on the ZENworks 6.5 Companion 2 CD\database\mssql directory , if at all possible could someone send me that file or let me know where I can get it??
Thanks in advance!!

Inventory database

I have zenworks for desktops installed which I use to remote control and load software. I do not have the inventory database setup. Is this an add on part of zenworks which I have to purchase? If not is it easy to setup?

than you can easily use the zfd inventory..
the online documentation is quite good..
in general you reinstall zfd and just ADD the inventory part.
don't select the option to let it configure everything for you.
after the installation, you have to make changes to your server policy
configuring the database
and to create an inventory policy to get the inventory in the workstation

Does the Inventory database clean itself?

Scenario:
NW 6.5 SP5
eDir 8.7.3.8
ZfD 6.5 SP2
Issue:
Need to delete and reimport all wks in eDir.
Details:
All workstations are imported into eDir, and scanned by ZfD 6.5 Inventory services.
A number of the wks are (due to historical reasons) imported into wrong contexts,
and a number of them are imported with a wrong wks name too.
What happens with the Inventory database if I delete all imported wks objects,
and then reimports them with a new name, and some of them also into another OU?
Can I just do this, and thereafter start a full new inventory scan?
What will happen with the old database entries for the wks that will be imported into a new OU,
and with the wks that will import under another name..?
In other words, will the inventory database be cleansing itself for the old wks entries?

Database move during user login?

I am trying to find an answer which i am unable to.
As in exchange 2013, CAS is doing proxy so no rendering stuff, cookie based authentication so if one CAS server is rebooted, no need to re authenticate or pop-up screen for logon credentials as in Exchange 2010 when user were connected before reboot.
However if database moves from one server to other as part of DAG, does it require any relogin? for user who were connected to before move?
2nd. For Exchange 2010 : Do we have any solution where user don't need to re login in case where he was logged in to a CAS Server and CAS server reboots?

Maintaining the Inventory Database

Does the Workstation Removal Process also remove the inventory associated
with the PC from the Inventory Database?
And if the inventory information stays after the Workstation has been
removed how do you clean up the database to remove the inventory
information of the Workstation that was removed from the database?
Im using the Sybase Database

> removed how do you clean up the database
>
no, removing the workstation does not remove inventory.

Unable to connect to inventory database ??

Hi,
Thanks for reading this post. I have a problem with ZFD3.2 inventory
that
is driving me crazy ... I have a Inventory system set up at one of our
customers with Netware 6 servers ZFD3.2 and an inventory database on Oracle. All systems are working. I see that the storer is updating
files
in the database. Now I want to do an Inventory query from ConsolOne. I
go
to a workstation of the customer and start ConsoleOne. I do tools-
configureDB and get an error message saying "Unable to connect to the
inventory database - Check if database is up and running". Next I take
my
own laptop and do the same thing. It works, I see "succesfully
connected
to the database". OK, so I copy the ConsoleOne from my laptop to the customer's computer. Same error... So there must be something on my
laptop
that's not on the customers computer. But what ?? What am I missing
here ?
regards, Ren

Hi Kai,
Sorry for the delayed answer. My cable internet provider decided he
had
provided enough internet and my connection was gone for two days...
I have tried to run it from the server but this made no difference. It
seems
to be related to the workstation you run ConsoleOne on. I've always
thought
that it was only depended on the snapins, but it seems that there's
more to
it..... I've tried windows2000 and windows XP prof with clients 4.83,
4.83
SP1, and 4.83 sp2.
When I run the consoleone copy on my laptop (winxp prof with cl 4.83)
it
works fine, but when I copy the consoleone directory to another
workstation
I get an error.
