Inventory to SQL

is it possible to push the inventory-data directly to a sql-database (win2000)
i search the web for a good instruction to configure the
inventory-service
for a ms-sql-database , but can`t find .
i found something of many sites, but nothing was complete .
what i need is a step by step - instruction.
who knows a good web-link or something ?
thanks to all for any help
regards mario

The inventory is on a SQL database... Sybase ASA is just that a SQL
Server.
What is it that you want to do?

ZENWorks Inventory on SQL?

We currently have our inventory being stored in the Novell sybase db, is
it possible to have it store to a Microsoft SQL DB instead? If so is there
a TID on the procedure?

How to find out who installed SQL Server in Big orgnization?

Hi all,,,
I want to find out who installed SQL server in their computers/servers. The internet is open and it's easy to install SQL server EXPRESS. Iam not looking for the command which will results computers in my vlan only. Iam looking for a query to result out
all SQL installed with different Vlan within the organization.
Anyway to find them out?! Thanks.

No need to know WHO install it but is it possible to know the Host name that SQL installed in?!
You asked for "who", not for "where".
You can use MS MAP =
Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit : "Software Usage Tracker Feature Overview ....
SQL Server" to get reports, which software is running on which machine.
Or you can use this PowerShell Script
Create Inventory of SQL Server in Network as Html
For both you need permissions to fetch the required information from all machines, of course.

Some of the SQL Server 2012 are not getting monitored in SCOM 2012 SP1.( basics monitoring is happening, expect SQL role)

Found that all the SQL servers are getting monitored, expect few servers which are having SQL server 2012 role.
proxy is enabled for these servers, when I checked discovered inventory for SQL 2012 database unable to find these servers in that list.
and other servers having SQL Server 2012 monitoring properly issue is with only few servers.

Hi,
thanks for the all the input, we are using service account as windows account instead of action account !!
will that also affect discovery of SQL role?
and also found that there are many alerts in SCOM console, with alert description :
SQL Server cannot authenticate using Kerberos because the Service Principal Name
(SPN) is missing, misplaced, or duplicated.
please let me know how we can resolve this issue, will it affect SQL discovery as well ?

How to create SQL server documentation

Hi,
for our databases, we use schemaspy to create simple documentation.
Is there a tool, maybe opensource/freeware, to create a documention for SQL server?
I'd like to have something like this:
- Version
- RAM
- Settings like maxmemory
- OS version
- etc
And it should run like a script, without looking inside the sql-server.
Thanks

Andreas

PowerShell Script For Finding Database Instance Names

G'day
I am trying to get information on a couple of dozen SQL database servers database instances - long story, but our DBA's do not have complete lists at the moment, and I need to find out this information.
I have done a bit of work with PowerShell (and love it) version 3, however I do not know many SQL commands and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction please.
This is the code I have at the moment:
Get-Service -ComputerName MSQLULTDBS04 | ?{$_.DisplayName -like "*SQL*"} | Select name,DisplayName,status
It gets the information on the SQL Server install on the remote server.
What I am trying to do however is get a list of the databases that are running on this server. Can someone help me out please?

Hello Scott,
Please have a look at TechNet ScriptCenter:
Create Inventory of SQL Server in Network as Html
It lists also all databases, but of course you need permissions to logon to that SQL Servers.

Is it possible to query software inventory report for Oracle SQL developer installation?

Hi all
My company requires to generate a report of all kinds of Oracle database access tool. I can find Toad installation from Add/Remove Program and therefore can query for Toad.
However, Oracle SQL developer is using Java. I cannot see an entry for Oracle SQL developer from Add/Remove Program. Is there a way to query inventory for Oracle SQL developer installation?
Thanks a lot.

You might be able to use software inventory to report on the version of sqldeveloper.exe.
As the app looks like just a zip you extract to a custom location that might be one method.

Hi Logicinisde,
According to your description, since the issue regards Microsoft Assessment and Planning Solution Accelerator. I suggestion you post the question in the Solution Accelerators forums at

Using Crystal Reports 2008 with Oracle Database
I cannot create sql to retrieve data to create report.
Need Item, Last Change Date, Current Cost and Prior Cost as output of sql
Thanks

HI Jerry,
I don't know real syntax of your database, try below SQL, you may have to modify the syntax wherever it is required.
Select t.Item, Max(t.DtChg),(case when year(t.dtchg) = Year(sysdate) then t.Cost else 0) as currentCost,
(case when year(t.dtchg) = Year(sysdate)-1 then t.Cost else 0) as PriorCost
From TransHst t
Where Type=14
Group by t.Item
Thanks,

Powershell / SQL Inventory and last backup date Skips some servers?

Good Morning experts... I have a text file with a list of servers.. I am trying to automate a script that scans through them all and checks all databases to ensure everything is getting backed up... It works great (I copied the guts of the script from here,
I think and modified it so I could "Learn"). The only problem I have is some of the servers report an error saying can not connect and bypasses it. After the script is over, I can go back and query that single server and it responds correctly..
Has anyone else come across anything like that? I will include the script I have been using.. if you had 100+ servers to support with MULTIPLE instances on each how would you do it?

Sorry JRV... I will put more of an example here.
I want to do an inventory of all our our instances and verify if they are being backed up correctly, I just wrote a script to test:
$TextFileLocation = "C:\servers.txt"
foreach($instance in get-content $TextFileLocation)
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO') | Out-Null
$s = New-Object ("Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SMO.Server") $instance
$dbs = $s.Databases
foreach($db in $dbs)
$location = $db.Name
$logBackupDate = $db.LastLogBackupDate
if($db.RecoveryModel.Tostring() -eq "SIMPLE")
Write-host "$s - $location - SIMPLE Recovery"
elseif($db.RecoveryModel.ToString() -ne "SIMPLE")
Write-Host "$s - $location - $logBackupDate"
output is expected, and everything works fine... But some servers I get the following error:
PS K:\MyScripts\powershell> . 'C:\Users\scj0025\AppData\Local\Temp\Untitled30.ps1'
foreach : The following exception was thrown when trying to enumerate the collection: "Failed to connect to server poly04406.".

I notice to get this information the get-sqlinstance script is looking at the registry.. is that the "Better" way to get an accurate list of this?
(I understand they are looking for different things, but why wont the first script pick up the different instances on the server, I wonder...)

APEX, Oracle SQL Creating Inventory System

I would like to use XE to create a database to track inventory/shipping/production/forecasting and do analytical reporting in a multi-user, multi production line environment, using bar code scanning, in a client server set up. How powerful/ flexible is APEX? Should I be looking at another reporting tool? Should I be looking to manage the data with Oracle SQL? Good books to recommend that include the basics through complex apps?
Thank you.
Wade

Hi Wade,
Good books to recommend that include the basics through complex apps?You may want to have a look here at "Application Express Documentation and Tutorials" here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/doc.html
The best APEX book (personal opinion) is not out yet, but you can already pre-order it at Amazon. The title "Pro Oracle Application Express" by John Scott (Jes from the forums).
Thanks,
Dimitri
