SCCM WQL Query Language Tutorial

Hello,
Are there any online tutorial in making wql/sql query statements so i can teach myself in creating Queries.
Thanks,
Jonah

You look at the WQL sites like http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394606(VS.85).aspx to get a general idea. Part of learning is using the Query Builder and then look at modifying them. You should also look into using wbemtest.exe tool for looking at the repository and testing your WQL queries.

How to use WQL query with SCCM console.

Hello,
Sorry for my dumb question, but how can I run a wql query in SCCM console.
Usually I use SQL query's from google to create new reports, I also find WQL query but where exactly should I place them:

Go to General tab and select "Show Query Language".
Paste in your statement and you're good to go.

I know that the Log SMSProv returns results of tasks that run in graphical mode.
I did it with the query shown in the attached image and found the following Query to the log.
I used the Query found in the log, but I can’t edit it to show the name of the 95 PCs found.

How to inner join attribuet from user with system resource on sccm 2012 query

Hi , I am using SCCM 2012. Trying to create a WQL query to get list of computers with department name and netbios names,etc. these are in USER and SYSTEM RESOURCE object type seperately. The query wizard doesn't allow me to choose sytem
resource and USER attribute at same time. In JOIN, the inner join also doesn't have SYSTEM RESOURCE attribute class for me to join it with USER attribute class. Any way to resolve this issue so that I can get a query as mentioned?
I tried the wql below and pasted to my test query, it gave an error. I guess it's because that wql is on sccm2007.
Please advise,thanks!

EJB query language help!!

Hi all, I have been trying to run a ejb query on JBoss 4.0.5, using built in hypersonic db, For some strange reasons am able to fetch all objects from db without any where clause but if am using a where clause with an attribute name from the entitybean am unable to retrieve any results.
I get an org.hibernate.QueryException, could not resolve property : "property name"
My ejb query looks like this...
SELECT template FROM TemplateSelect template WHERE template.template_name='Template_One'
TemplateSelect is my entity bean class and I do have an attribute named template_name in my bean class.
could any one please suggest me what could be wrong and also direct me to a good tutorial on ejb query language as well as I am fairly new to hibernate and ejb3 !
tons of thanks in advance!

Hi Anuradha ,
I'm afraid the query language does not support retrieving the date portion (i.e. truncating the time) from a date field.
I propose you turn you named into a BETWEEN query taking two parameters one for the beginning of the day and another for the end of the day. Then your named query could look like:
SELECT max(o.req_id) FROM requests o WHERE o.requestdate BETWEEN :start AND :end
The following code creates two calendar instances for the current day, one for 00:00:00 and another for 23:59:59:
Calendar start = Calendar.getInstance();
start.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
start.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
start.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
start.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
Calendar end = Calendar.getInstance();
end.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 23);
end.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 59);
end.set(Calendar.SECOND, 59);
end.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 999);
Here is some sample code that creates a query instance for a named query called findMaxRequestPerDay and passes the Date of the above Calendar instance as actual parameter values. It assumes the named query is called findMaxRequestPerDay and the req_id field is a long:
Query query = em.createNamedQuery("findMaxRequestPerDay");
query.setParameter("start", start.getTime());
query.setParameter("end", end.getTime());
Long max = (Long)query.getSingleResult();
I hope this helps.
Regards Michael

JPA query language syntax

My question is if JPA query language syntax allows full qualified class names in the SELECT clause of the query, e.g.:
SELECT * FROM com.abc.Person
This works well with Hibernate, but TopLink Essentials complains about the dots in com.abc.Person.
In the Java EE 5 Tutorial only partially qualified names ( SELECT * FROM Person) are used.
There are only examples with fully qualified names for constants in WHERE clauses.

my first guess:
SELECT t FROM tablename t WHERE t.timestamp>:somethingwhere :something
is handled with something like: (..).setParameter("something", someSQLDate);

Did you create a software metering rule for each software title? if not then you need you do that first and it will take over a week before you see results.
Also keep in mind that your query will only find x86 software titles.

Applying a query language to collections

Hi, we handed in a project a while ago that was essentially to read in data from a .DAT file, store it in appropriate collections, then use a basic query language to filter through the stored data. I wasn't really happy with my querying though, as it was basically a huge succession of control statements. The queries were of the form "select OBJECTNAME where ATRIBUTE OPERATOR VALUE and ATRIBUTE OPERATOR VALUE", there could be as many sub clauses as desired (0... 200 whatever). For example "select elephant where height > 360 and weight <= 1000".
We had a comment back that we should use a Query interface and a two subclasses to represent a simple query (e.g. height > 360) and then a conjunctive query (ie simplequery1 AND simplequery2 ). The Query interface would then have a match method. I'm struggling to get my head around how I do this, does anyone have a simple example or explaination that might help me out?
Cheers.

I've done something like this a couple times. Your need to get a better idea of what you want your query language to look like. For example, if you're given a list of elephants, the "select elephant" part is unnecessary (your query will just return a list of matching elephants). You should decide if you want it to handle things like (height > (weight / 2)), whether conditions can be nested "((a and b) or (c and d)) and (e or f)". Will you need to support the conditional operator (a ? b : c) or a unary operator (-)? How complex will your order of operations rules be?
If you keep it simple (always two operands), you could go with something like this:
public interface QueryOperator
public boolean eval(Object leftParam, Object rightParam);
public enum BasicOperators implements QueryOperator
public class QueryElement
private QueryOperator operator;
private Object leftParam;
private Object rightParam;
}

I see that you have posted this exact question in another forum for CM12, however this is an CM07 forum.
Are you CM07 or CM12?
If you are CM12, use my answer here.

If you are CM07, this is NOT a simple how exactly do you detect that a computer is a VM? You can guess by looking at the manufacturer name but it is only a guess.

SCCM collection Query - Wrong output

Hi
We are working on Creating Dynamic SCCM collection which get populated based on following two condition
1) Belongs to a Test OU in AD
2) Doesn't have scom agent installed
We have been trying to work out why following query doesn't populate collection with correct object instead populate by every object that exist in this OU. Seems like condition after AND is totally ignored. is there anything I am doing wrong here
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SERVICE on SMS_G_System_SERVICE.ResourceID =
SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_R_System.SystemOUName = "AD.local/Servers/DEV/Test" and SMS_G_System_SERVICE.DisplayName != "Microsoft Monitoring Agent"
Where as below query is working and condition after AND is calculated and collection get populated with right objects.
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SERVICE on SMS_G_System_SERVICE.ResourceID =
SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_R_System.SystemOUName = "AD.MONASH.EDU/Managed/Servers/DEV/OCIO/SplunkTest" and SMS_G_System_SERVICE.DisplayName = "Microsoft Monitoring Agent"
We tried with different combination such as "not like", "is null" etc etc. seems to us that as soon as we try have negative criteria after AND that criteria has been ignored.
To my little knowledge of SQL query, condition after AND is not optional and has to meet, if it doesn't query should return no value.
is this same with SCCM collection query? will appreciate if some one can shade some light here.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you All for the reply
Our End Goal is to be able to automate software/configuration deployment based on criteria we set. SCOM is first of the rank if you like and we want this to be hands off approach so when a server move into certain OU based on criteria server get populated
into SCCM collection and SCCM pushes out software/configuration packages out to the server.
but having said that if we have to create two collection to satisfy our two criteria than most likely we will need number of collections depending on numbers and types of criteria. This will make managing collection and their relationship more challenging
and not sure if that is the path we want to take. This will need to be discussed through unless we find better solution.
Thank you again

SCCM Custom Query

Hello,
I am looking for a 2007 SCCM custom query that will look for KB2964358 installed. My trouble lies when I specify the below query to see if an update is installed, and it only returns XP computers since it is looking for the ADD Remove Programs feature.
ConfigMgr is not collecting the list of Software Updates (patches) for Window 7/Vista/ 2008/ 2008 Core operating systems. Because, on these operating systems this information is stored
in “Win32_QuickFixEngineering” WMI class (it’s not listed in Add Remove Programs) and the inventory of this class is NOT enabled in SMS_DEF.MOF (by def ault). Hence ConfigMgr. report won’t be able to provide these details unless and until you’ve enabled
the appropriate WMI class in SMS_DEF.MOF. Is there any other way to look for an update installed in custom queries that will return Windows 7 machines as well?
SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName like "%KB2964358%"

Hi,
take a look at the article below to extend the SMS_DEF.mof file to include the WMI class.

XPath Query Language Reference

Aside from the three little examples given in the 11g Guide and the B2B Tech Note #011, is there a reference available for the XPath Query Language used by B2B? Is is possible to use complex XPath queries in the B2B Doc Definitions?

I'm mainly just looking for the full capabilities of the queries.
Specifically, at the moment, I'm looking for a way to match the value of a node to a group of values (like a sql 'in') as well as check the existence and value of other nodes within the same query.
Do the documents I find for 'Preference XPath' pertain here?

EJB Query Language

Hi All,
I am using SAP Netweaver Developer Studio(2004)version.I want to know that EJB2.0 Query Language will
support Joins,Internal select statement with in a select

Guruvulu,
In EJB QL you may operate on objects relations (both 0..1 and 0..n) in the same way as with joins in SQL. So the answer is yes.
Read free <a href="http://www.theserverside.com/books/wiley/masteringEJB/downloads/MasteringEJB3rdEd.pdf">Mastering EJB</a> book -- it contains separate chapter on EJB QL.

EJB Query Language where condtion based on date

Hi,
I am using EJB3 query language. In the table I have a column called requestdate which is in date time format. I have created an entity class.
I need to select few records using query language(named queries) based on this requestdate matching to the current date. I want to compare only based on Date value (truncating the time). Something like this
select max(o.req_id) from requests o where o.requestdate = :currentdate
currentdate is java.sql.Date value formatted to yyyymmdd only.
How can I do this using query language?
Please help to me get this done.
