Manage hardware in asset management

hi all
i'm new at zenworks, so we try to add hardware costs, lifetime, date of order but there is no hardware tab in asset management...
is there any possibility for addig hardware the asset management? or is the only way to add it as software and add some custom fields in it?
is there any database structure, i only found the inventory data for ZCM 10 and asset database structure for 7.5, but not 10.
thanks for reply

  • Evaluation Group - Asset Accounting

    Dear All
    While creatinig an Asset Master Record, in the Allocations Tab, there is EvaluationGroup1 ,  
    .........Evaluation Group 5 fields.
    Can anyone explain me with an example.
    Thanks and Regards
    Kanwaljit

    Hi,
    Evaluation groups are majorly used for asset reporting purpose.
    These are part of master record. So you can maintain master data information in this field to identify an asset in asset accounting module.
    In our company we are using evaluation group field as sub asset class.
    Ex: For Asset Class Computers Hardware.this asset class will cover so many things like desktop computers, laptop computers, servers, etc.
    If you want a report for asset balances in this asset class, it will give total balance of the asset class. So in this case if you create one evaluation group for each item (desktops, laptops), you that you can get the balances for that particular item.
    Create one sort variant with evaluation group field ORD41/ORD42/ORD43/ORD43/GDLGRP. (TCODE-S_ALR_87009120 - Define Sort Variants)
    use this sort variant while u are running asset balances report (S_ALR_87011964 - Asset Balances by Asset Class)
    so that you will get balances for each type of asset within one particular asset class. (Create output layout according to your requirement for asset balances report)
    Anyway we are using this field as a category of asset under each asset class. according to your requirement you can use this field for other purpose to identify in asset accounting.
    Keep me posted for further clarifications.
    Thanks,

  • Backup Final Cut Server Asset Library

    Hi,
    I like to find out the correct procedure to backup and restore the Final Cut Server Asset Library, and able to link up the catalog correctly.
    There are instructions to backup and restore the FC Server catalog, proxies, etc, but I'm unable to find instructions for the asset library.
    It's possible that the FC Server hardware goes down or Mac OS X gets corrupted, with the instructions available, it's possible to get the FC Server back working.
    It's also possible that the storage hardware of asset library will fail, so I like to find out the procedure so the FC Server catalog " does not" to see the restored asset as "new".
    Cheers,
    Ben

    Ok, nothing until now, that`s probably a tough one.
    More news:
    1- Recover don`t do anything, any point in time doesn`t change this problem.
    2- Installing FCSrv from DVD doesn`t do anything as well the 1.1.1 update.
    3- installed fresh FCSrv on another machine for tests and of course those fields are there in this new install. Compared thoroughly each ASSET_SEARCH, PAGRPASSET, ASSETTILESVIEW, ASSETINFOVIEW, ASSETTHUMBNAILVIEW, Metadata Groups between two FCsrv (the good one -fresh - and the old one) with no difference.
    4- Just to clarify: I had lots of .mov files WITH all ok (with this fields appearing) on the old FCSrv, suddenly it vanished and the only thing that appears is the title (just the title not the "title:"). It doesn`t matter if upload, scan or anything. It doesn`t matter if it`s a photo (.jpeg) or .mov or anything. It doesn`t matter if it`s inside a production.
    5- Just to rule out the possibility of FCSrv ruining Mime Type from the original files, I`ve uploaded from OLD-FCSRV MEDIA device to the new one and all it`s ok like the second image (that I`ve found on the FCSrv online manual).
    I`ll nonetheless install FCSrv fresh on this machine anyway, but I just want to know what triggered this strange, odd and bizarre behavior if it happens again in the future.
    Thank you very much for any help or comments

  • PCG and Windows error - how I fixed

    I'll make this post in the hope it might help others.
    I was a sufferer of, and an early contributor to, one of the long running PCG error threads.
    After several years of successful Premier/Encore authoring with a successful workflow I suffered the dreaded PCG error not long after upgrading to Encore CS3. After a lot of trial and error and help from these forums I finally solved the issue by getting brand new hardware and installing Adobe Premier/AE/Encore/Audition and nothing else on the box. Same workflow and assets, no problems. This rather suggested to me it's not Encore itself that's the problem, nor necessarily the workflow or the assets, but more that some complex interaction within Windows somewhere was responsible. In my case I had a project with 5 timelines, each on a menu, and each timeline had it's PCG solved (before I switched hardware) by a different combination of the 'fixes' suggested here.
    On the new hardware same assets/project/workflow - no issues.
    At the weekend I was happily knocking out a quick slideshow of a wedding I shot recently when Encore failed at the Create Disc stage with a 'Encore has encountered an error and neads to close' message. Not only did my current project fail, but one that was working a few weeks ago failed also. This strongly suggested it wasn't an asset/workflow issue.
    On investigating further I realised that I'd broken my own rules about being rigerous and not installing anything other than Adobe on my PC. As part of sorting out my monitor profiling (specifically the ability to profile each monitor in a dual setup independantly) I'd downloaded and installed a Microsoft 'Colour' feature. It installed itself but also the .NET framework as well as +C++ runtime environment.
    I uninstalled all three items and Encore sprang back into life building and burning both the older project as well as my new one.
    All of this confirms to me that the problem that Encore presents with is caused by a pretty fundamental interaction somewhere in the bowels of Windows and that whilst the actions of fiddling with settings or assets or any of the other 'fixes' that work for some people some of the time are not really addressing the fundamental problem.
    My advice would be to install Adobe video products on a fresh install of Windows and run them and nothing else. Observe 'profession IT' standards of configuration management and things should be OK.
    It's not how we maybe envisage running a PC but the hard practicalities of our complex friend make it so.
    Hope this helps someone else.
    Regards
    Pete

    Wow.
    It's probably deeper than that. I have both the .NET framework and the latest C++ runtime installation from Microsoft, and I cannot reproduce this error even if I handle my assets badly.
    Rodger Ling may be correct. This may be some deep hardware/software conflict that only appears on certain hardware configurations when certain other software is involved.
    Unfortunately, that would make it nearly impossible to track down the bug and squash it without some serious user input on *complete* hardware and software configurations.
    Thanks for posting your fix; likely it will help someone else who runs into this issue.

  • Machine Serial Number

    Hi,
    I would like to programmatically find the Serial Number of a Sun Solaris box. I know it was not possible earlier but am curious if Sun has added any new command/tool to find out the serial number of a machine.
    Is there any roundabout way of finding it?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nimish

    Some of the new Sun hardware has machine-readable serial numbers, but they generally are not (yet) easy to access. Most of them are available on the System Controller or from the ALOM (Advanced Lights-Out Management). Some have it in the FRUID data from prtfru.
    There is a new tool from Sun called "SNEEP" (Serial Number in EEPROM) which, once you have the serial number, will make it easy to get to when you need it, and will keep serial (and other) data safe .
    It's very easy to use and very flexible for storing and retrieving serial and other data that you want to associate closely and permanently with the hardware. [ asset information, location, contract,  serials for attached storage, whatever you want ]
    You can download sneep from the Sun Download Center at http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=4304155a
    Documentation is also available for download there.
    Sneep provides a simple interface, preserves the data even if the eeprom is erased, and even updates the serial number for you in the explorer configuration.
    If you've already made the effort of putting the serial into the explorer (or CST) configuration, sneep will pick it up from there automatically.
    Right now, sneep doesn't have access to the serial data in the ALOM or SC, but sneep will be updated to pick up this information whenever possible, so that you can use the same mechanism to handle serial and other information on all your Sun systems.
    It runs on SPARC and x86, and although the x86 doesn't have a true EEPROM, it still has a lot of value. Solaris x86 is getting support for reading the serial from BIOS, but not all manufacturers provide the data to the BIOS.
    At worst case, you enter it manually once, and sneep will protect it and keep it handy.

  • Feedback Text for a Drag and Drop Interaction help

    I've developed an drag/drop interaction which works well, the issue is with the behavior of the submit reset buttons.
    If the "correct" drag objects are on the "correct" target - no issues
    The problem is if an "incorrect" drag/drop combination is selected, the "incorrect" feedback text displays and the reset button moves all drag object to the start position, but once the "correct" drag drop combination is submitted, the "incorrect" feedback text displays.

  • Asset Control Management

    Dear Colleagues,
    At the company where I work,Users for Asset control are using;
    KO01 - To create an investment order.
    ZAFE_0002 - To set up capital project (Customised Application)
    KO88 - for Settlement of investment order.
    AS01 - For creation of asset
    KOB5 - To start depreciation.
    1. Is it possible to set up a fixed asset with various starting points for depreciation? For Example, we have a blanket AFE for Computer Hardware Replacement. This is used for multiple purchases throughout the year.We have created an asset for this in SAP and find that when we start depreciating newly purchased items,the system puts a backdated charge to when the first time the asset was created. The only way users think they can work around this is to create new internal orders and assets for each purchase. Can you suggest a better way?Sorry,I am MM/SD and only used briefly asset management some time ago...
    2. Can you also advise on how to block an object code and cost centre combination? I rougly remember how to block an object code for posting but want to block certain cost centres with object codes to help prevent miscodes. It would be ideal for this to happen when the Purchased/Requisition is being completed.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Does anyone know of a good digital asset management software solution for cataloging InDesign files?

    Hi all,
    I am coming to this forum with this question because this amazing community of design professionals has helped me SO MUCH over the past few years...so I come to you for help once again as I search for a digital asset management solution that will also catalog InDesign files. I first used to use Canto Cumulus many years back, and then used Portfolio Standalone but both of those had their issues and are now discontinued. I am now looking for something else. It is for my small business and needs to handle all of my InDesign files and all associated artwork (I have a HUGE library of files....this also includes all of my image files, pdfs, etc.).
    Extensis Portfolio Server is just WAY overkill and WAY too expensive for what I need. Also, the cheapest option (which is $1,999) only handles "thousands of files" whereas I have tens of thousands. I am also not interested in storing my "asset catalog" within the cloud...I just want it stored locally.
    Please please can someone help point me in the right direction? I have been scratching my head searching for something...there is SO MUCH out there...the majority of which won't properly handle InDesign files as well, which is a NECESSITY.
    Thank you so much as always,
    Christine

    Purple_Jim, for some reason I just lost my new reply, so am writing again:)
    I just checked out the program and one CAN easily update the database when changes are made to the volume(s) as files are added/removed/renamed/moved, etc. This is GREAT!! I am busy trying it out and it is WONDERFUL and EXACTLY what I need! And it is SO SPEEDY too...I LOVE it!
    I just had to contact their support tho' as it doesn't seem to want to add in all of the images. It APPEARS to be adding them but not all of the folders are showing up. If I can get this issue sorted out then this program would be IDEAL:) It's great to know that you haven't had any issues:) That gives me hope as this program looks PERFECT!!
    Thank you so so much for letting me know about it:)
    **UPDATE**
    In CASE you can shed any light on my issue...
    I just did some more testing and it seems that the problem occurs if/after I hit “STOP” when the volume is being scanned. Once I try to update the volume after that so that I can continue adding images, then it seems that nothing is added to the directory in Tri_CATALOG after the point when I chose to hit “STOP”.
    It does not seem to be cataloging everything:( I just tried adding a new volume but it appears to have stopped adding images to the database even tho’ it SEEMS as if new items are still being added in the “Scan Volume window”.
    Here is an example: The image below labeled “469-00625” appears to have been added to the “Clients/Ascot Supply Corp./Buyer’s Guide/2014 Buyer’s Guide/Archive/z_buyer’s guide image library_jpg/06_valve hardware/JPEG” folder but when I do a search for the image it cannot be located, and this folder also does not appear in the catalog directory (second screenshot below). No matter how many times I try to update the volume, the number of images for the “Clients” folder below remains at 811 pictures (as if it has stopped scanning, even tho’ new ones are still being added) and I am not able to add anything else. The Tri_CATALOG database appears to have stopped adding images after the “2011 Buyer’s Guide” folder below even tho’ there are still several new folders still need to be added….see third screenshot for ACTUAL directory on the volume.
    From Tri_CATALOG: (Won’t add anything else below “2011 Buyer’s Guide"

  • 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.

    Does anyone know of a good reasonably priced asset tracker/manager that will work with ARD?
    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.

  • Digital Asset Management (DAM)

    I'm looking at purchasing software that can act as digital asset management, does Aperture have this ability. Basically I need to store digital images off my of hard drive onto DVD/external drives for archiving and then need to be able to find them again quickly.
    I already use Canto Cumulus 6 for this but I have moved on to Intel Mac Pro and need to upgrade, might be time for a change.Any advise is appreciated.
    Thanks for the help.
    Bill

    Bill-
    At this point in time Aperture IMO is the best app on the planet for volume DSLR capture management and DAM for folks with adequate Mac hardware (your basic setup qualifies, but if you do buy Aperture you will want one of the better graphics cards available after Expo). After Mac Expo SF is over on January 18th I will have refined my opinion after spending extensive time at the relevant booths on the show floor.
    IMO cursory evaluation of Aperture is a waste of time. Without really good competent guidance one usually either totally does not get it and/or simply develops bad habits.
    I recommend that folks with adequate hardware (MacIntel, minimum 2 GB RAM, 4+ GB is better) invest time and $33 in Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 1.5 (Apple Pro Training) by Orlando Luna and Ben Long (Paperback - Oct 2006). It is a training Tutorial, not just a manual; its value is as a tutorial, not as a manual. As you work through the tutorial the various Aperture workflow choices become evident and then you can choose your preferred configuration.
    Even if you ultimately choose another app the workflow choices learned working the tutorial are invaluable. Aperture has a free 30 day trial, but have the tutorial CD in hand and RAM installed before downloading the trial so you do not waste time of the trial.
    Aperture is hardware-intense and there are routines to learn to optimize speed. A good forum exists at <http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1092>.
    Note that Aperture allows a dual laptop/desktop installation and will run on your G4 Powerbook, but marginally. I recommend that you thoroughly learn Aperture and its workflow alternatives on your Mac Pro before trying to implement any workflow that involves the PB. Making dual-computer setups work is tricky, and scaling volumes of images for laptop access is a challenge.

  • Looking for help - Company is going to Mobile Asset Management service that does not support BB - especially BB 10.

    Hello,
    I am looking for ideas/help. I currently have a BB Z10 (10.1.0.2039) with Verizon Wireless.  The company has a BB Enterprise Server for older devices (I previously was on that).  I bought a Z10 several months ago and have been connecting to the corporate network through Lotus Traveler. They do not have and will not implement a BB 10 Enterprise Server. Some in IT informed that if the company used the BB software they could manage all devices..... not accepted.
    All my contacts, calendar, and company email is funneled to the BB Hub.....
    So my company is implementing a Mobile Asset Management Service that I have to sign up for (Airwatch?).  They only support Android and IPhone.
    Will future versions of the BB OS support Android Apps.... Soon (I have less than 2 weeks)
    I have read where it is possible to put the device in development mode to run Android Apps.  I don't know if that will work with this and have no idea how stable the phone is in that mode. I travel internationally so I don't know how a development mode would work overseas. Any thoughts?
    I like my Z10 but will need to switch to keep functionality if I can't find a work around 
    Any assistance ????
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    BB10 devices have the ability to run .apk apps via special methods. Development Mode is used only for installing the app...not for normal operation. So you install (side-load) the app in Development Mode, then go back to normal mode for normal operations.
    If a .bar file for the .apk app already exists somewhere, you can side load it to the BB10 device and see if it works or not. If there is not yet any .bar file, there is an app called SideSwype that can convert many .apk apps to .bar and install it to your device.
    Good luck!

  • How do I completely enable a new custom asset in Correspondence Management?

    Hello!
    I'm trying to add a new custom asset to the Correspondence Management Solution Accelerator, and have it behave like all other assets in the system (ie searchable, updateable etc).  I'm almost there, but there's obviously something I'm missing, and I was hoping someone here might have done this before, or have a link to some documentation regarding the matter that I may have missed.  The asset I'm trying finish creating is for a LiveCycle user in a specific domain.  This is what I've done so far...
    I've created the asset definition MyUser.fml and placed it in the FSIApp\Portal\webapp\WEB-INF\assetDefinitions folder.  I've then registered this fml file in the spring-config.xml file in both the 'lc.cm.assetDefinitionsDeployer' and 'lc.cm.assetTypeRegistryBootstrapper' beans.  In the 'lc.cm.assetTypeRegistryBootstrapper' bean, I set the key to 'MyUser', and the value to the class path of my Java class that represents this asset.
    On the Java side I've created the MyUser.java class, as well as MyUserService.java and MyUserServiceImpl.java to allow the searching, updating etc of the MyUser assets.
    After running the Bootstrap process, I can log into the Manage Templates application, select Data Dictionaries from the 'View' dropdown, and view/edit the MyUser data dictionary properties with no problems.  So I'm happy that the asset has successfully been registered with the application.
    Where I'm stuck is choosing the MyUser asset from the drop down, and searching the system for assets of that type.  I can choose the MyUser asset type from the 'view' drop down, but the search result returns an empty array.
    From digging into the existing Manage Templates code, I've created the following classes:
    public interface IMyUserService extends IEventDispatcher -  containing the following function definitions:
              function getMyUser(id:String):IAsyncToken;
              function getAllMyUsers(param1:Query=null):IAsyncToken;
    public class MyUserSeviceProvider extends ServiceProvider - containing a getter/setter for MyUserServiceDelegate
    public class MyUserServiceDelegate extends ServiceDelegate implements IMyUserService - containing the functions defined in IMyUserService, as well as creating the RemoteObject to perform the actions.
    The MyUserServiceDelegate constructor is:
         public function MyUserServiceDelegate ()
                super();
                _service = new RemoteObject("myapplication.services.myUserService");
                _service.showBusyCursor = true;
    This is the code for the function in getAllMyUsers in MyUserServiceDelegate:
         public function getAllMyUsers(param1:Query = null):IAsyncToken
                var operationToken:AsyncToken = this._service.getAllMyUsers(param1);
                var token:IccToken = new IccToken(this.className + ".getAllMyUsers");
                operationToken.addResponder(getDefaultResponder(token));
                return token;
    I've also made changes to the following config files to register the RemoteObject destination specified in the MyUserServiceDelegate constructor:
    spring-http-config.xml:
         <bean name="/service/UserService" class="org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerServiceExporter">
            <property name="service" ref="myapplication.services.myUserService" />
            <property name="serviceInterface" value="com.mydomain.lc.services.MyUserService" />
        </bean>
    remoting-config.xml:
         <destination id="myapplication.services.myUserService"/>
    flexmessagebroker-servlet.xml
         <flex:remoting-destination ref="myapplication.services.myUserService" />
    Above my Java class definition of MyUserServiceImpl.java I have the following line:
    @Service("myapplication.services.myUserService")
    So......
    My problem is that when I choose the MyUser asset from the drop down, no search results are returned (an empty array is returned).  I have logging code in the getAllMyUsers function in the MyUserServiceDelegateclass.as, as well as logging in the MyUserServiceImpl.java class (not shown in the above code snippets) and neither of them fire when selecting the MyUser asset from the drop down.  So neither of the classes are being called on the search.  If I force a search via the following line:
    MyUserSeviceProvider.getMyUserService().getAllMyUsers();
    the logging in both the Flex and Java classes works (and the java class returns the results as expected).  So I'm happy that these functions, as well as the linking between the Flex and the Java side is working correctly.
    The step that I can't seem to work out is having the selection of the asset in the drop down call the desired function automagically.  I've been digging into the SearchManager, the ServiceLocator and heaps of other classes, but I'm falling deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole...
    Can anyone shed some light on what they think might be needed to make the final link here?  I've been digging and digging into the code for days now and my brain hurts!!
    Any advice appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Kristian

    Hi Saket,
    By 'not really complete' I'm assuming (hoping) that some work has been done on this already.  Our project requires the use of custom assets, so it's very important that we get this functionality running as soon as possible.
    Any help, unsupported or otherwise, would be great.  Feel free to email me any details if you'd prefer not to post anything public on the boards.
    Cheers,
    Kristian

  • Config Manager Agent - after Hardware Inventory High CPU Usage with WMIPRSVE and very fast empty Battery

    Hi there,
    since a few days there is on some machines (40-60) a high cpu usage on one core (quad core cpu machines) with the WMIPRSVE.EXE if the HARDWARE INVENTORY CYCLE started.
    i try out some tests, read some forum articles and troubleshooting the WMI management but a real problem i doesn´t see.
    in some articles i read that hardware inventory runs about minutes up to more hours but some machines runs longer, someone more as 1 day.
    here an example of mine PC:
    at 8:07 i started Hardware Inventory Cycle, in the InventoryAgent.log i can see that some Collection Namespace are captured.
    after a few minutes there stopped and does nothing round about 5.9 hours or better, after 21436.097 Seconds.
    For any hints i am grateful. :)

    Looks like something in one or both of those wmi queries.  it goes from 8:10:03 to 14:06:43 right around there.  6 hours to do that... 
    try running those queries from wbemtest manually; and see which one just never finishes.

  • Load swf into RAM via an asset manager

    Hi.
    I have an AS3 virtual world and we are continually loading external resources such as swfs and sounds.
    A few of my menu screens that take a damn long time to load. Read a tut that said we should load them into RAM using an asset manager.
    I'm assuning the asset manager is simply a Class used specifically for loading and unloading graphics, swfs and sounds. So the important part to ask is:
    What do they mean by loading into RAM.
    I thought all swfs were automatically loaded into RAM ie: cached or in the flash player cache or the browser cache. Or do I have to do it specifically myself with some code. We are importing external files so we thought that was a great idea as they are shared by many games.
    btw: RSLs I have read about but I don't understand. I thought my externally loaded files were RSLs (runtime shared libraries) or would I have to do some physical coding do convert them into RSLs.
    This is so important because I am not very experienced but I am getting a lot better due to help receied in this forum and my current programmer is leaving me. I have been studying up on As3 and design patterns and I understand basic coding a lot better now.
    CHEERS
    EDIT: Just read that I am using a http call. - I use urlloader - well that's what you use isn't it or how would you load an external swf. Just read that you can hold the swf as a variable which loads it in RAM and therefore will be available immediately. Know I don't understand anything as I have never read that anywhere.

    Hi Andrei, nice to see you around here.
    Well, somebody helping me says that normally we make a http request with urlLoader to the server and that is what was happening each time. We weren't getting the cached swf. (that bit I don't understand and doesn't sound right - anyway...)
    So he says if we create a dictionary class to hold that swf then the next time we make a request we will get the movie from there and not from the server.
    I have highlighted the main parts of code below.
    What I don't understand about all this is that I have never seen anything like this in my life. I have read extensively and read all about loading external files and using this type of asset manager with the dictionary class does not ring a bell and goole comes up with nothing.
    I hunch is that as you say, we are doing something wrong somewhere because the only way to get an external file is via urlLoader to the server the first time and then the second time it should look for it cached on our computer is that right? Or when we make the urlLoader request how does it know to look on our computer first before going to the server or are these innner workings of the flash player I know nothing about. This is so important as when I get 10 kids on the computers they wait for as long as 5 minutes for movies that have already been downloaded many times before.
    Cheers in advance.
