SCSM Configuration Item Class

I'm new to SCSM. I have an environment setup that's importing Configuration Item data from Active Directory and SCCM. Is there a way within a Configuration Item to see what Class it belongs to? Or can I perform a search based off of a
CI Class? Or is that not how it works?
Thanks in advance,
Shawn

Dieter,
Thank you for the response. I will explore the Advanced Search area.
What I'm really attempting to accomplish is to understand how the CI module of SCSM functions and how does everything come together. For example, I created a view of computers with the query Display Name contains "XYZ". Within
the view it has a record named "XYZ01". On this record the Asset Status is NULL so I set it to "Purchased". Click OK and all is well. I then go "All Windows Computer" and do a search of "XYZ" and it
finds a record for "XYZ01.fqdn.com". When I open that record it does NOT have the Asset Status that I previously saved. With the Principal Name being the FQDN it appears that these two records are in fact different when I expected them
to be the same. The history tab of both records are distinctly different too.
What I was looking for was to display the "class" of the records to see if that would help me make sense of what I was looking at.
Thanks,
Shawn

Access Custom Configuration Item Class property in Data Warehouse database

Is there a way to access properties on a custom 'Configuration Item Class' in the DW database?
When creating a new CI class eg. 'Monitors' and extending this with a property like 'Serial' is there a way to access this in the DW database?
I can find Displayname and AssetStatus in the ConfigItemDim table, but is there a way to get the other custom created properties?

Ok !

Manually adding AD user or Group mail address in SCSM 2012 R2 Configuration item

Hi ,
Since in our AD environment some of the AD user's mail Id attribute is null, I added the
smtp mail Address value in SCSM 2012 R2 user configuration item ,
After the AD connector synchronization, the manually entered mail Id is removed. I have also checked the property
do not write null values for the property not set in AD in the Connector properties
But still , the manually entered mail id is removed by SCSM
so is it not the correct way to add mail id manually ???
Any suggestions???
The mail Id property is required for mail notification feature in our environment

the long and short of this is that the AD connector is behaving as designed and correcting values in SCSM from the authoritative source in AD.
The connector should not be blanking values with that checkbox set. are you sure AD is actually
Null, and not either an empty string or white-space characters? Can you reproduce this with other users? Might be worth reporting this if there is actually a bug in the connector.
Why wouldn't you set the Mail attribute in AD? there isn't any good reason for this to be null.

Retrieving the Affected Configuration Items from a Service Request

I have a service request that gathers the usernames of AD Users that need to be added to a new security group. I have Query Result field set to add the users that are selected as Affected Configuration Items. My problem is when I get the SR's related AD
Users it gives me all of the Affected CIs but it also gives me the user that submitted the form. Is there any way to filter the relationship to only get users in the Affected CI list?
Here's the steps I'm using:
Identify Runbook Automation Activity
Get Parent Service Request Relationship from RBA
Get Parent SR Object
Get related AD Users from SR
Get AD User Objects
Any help is much appreciated.

I figured it out. If anyone else is having this issue, you have to filter the Get User Relationship to exclude everything that does not match the Affected User Relationship Class:

SMLETS. Get related Business Services from a Configuration Item

Hi
I need som help or guidiance on how to create a PS query to list out all the related business services from a Configuration Item (Computer) using the Windows Computer Class
Im using the following orchestrator activity today to get the related business services from the CI.
Thx for all replys! :)

Hi,
you can use this script as an example:
Import-Module smlets
#Definde Input-Values

How to configure for the price master of the configurable item

in my client we have the configurable items like car doors with different colour as per the color
the price is changing
so how to configure this masterdata for pricing for all the material

Hi
This kindly of process is done at Variant configuration. so the pricing will define in condition type VA00. and the variant process as follows:
Eg: Ford car.If a sale order is raised for fiesta lxi model the system should choose red colour & for vxi blue colour respectively.
ie you need to define the characteristic and assign the values .
This characteristic need to assigned to class.
class need to be assigned to material master
1. T.code : CT04(characteristic) FORD_MODEL, Choose single value & entry required tab & give the input as 01 - fiesta_lxi & 02 - fiesta_vxi.( characteristic values)
2.Tcode: CT04, FORD_BODY( another characteristic)
Choose single value , don't click entry required.
01 - Red( characteristic values)
02- Blue
3. Create class T.code : CL02
fiesta_class
type : 300
4. OBJECT DEPENDENCY:
T.CODE : CT04
FORD_MODEL
CLICK VALUES TAB,
IN FIESTA_LXI CLICK THE 'O' meant for Obj dependency, action & extra.
Edit the dependecy,
010 $Self.ford_body = '01'. & save
Repeat the same for FIEST_VXI & instead of '01' give '02' for blue colour.
, then create a ROH as ford_body. & a KMAT material for the car. .
Then create a Super BOM with usage 3 & give component as ford_body
Then use T.code cu41 (Create config profile)
enter a profile name & class 300 & choose class assignment, choose fiest_class ,
Use T.code cu50 to check the values.
Then create a sale order.
Reward if it helps

InstallBase-No configuration is build for Configured Items procured thru PO

No configuration is build in Install base for Configured Items procured thru PO.
Problem Description:
We created a PO for a Configured Item and received into an Org ( setup as serialized at receipt) for stocking purpose. The Entire Configuration is not created in Install base. We expected both the Parent and the child ( which are IB-trackable) to be created in the Install base. But the child is not created in the Install base.
We set the profile CSI:Explode BOM as "yes" and still it did not help.
Any ideas . ( Note : this is a duplicate post. I have posted under Procurement forums as well).

Steps for SD Variant Configuration
Some light on Variant Configuration in Detail.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)
2. Create Charateristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc
3. Create another characteristics in CT04 - ZPrice, where directly go the additional data tab and maintain the table SDCOM and field VKOND (ABAP Dictionary it will ask for)
4. Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
5. Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.
Now go back to CT04 - enter Zbike -go to values- select Red- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Select Procedure enter in front 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Red' and save
6. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
7. Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save
8. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
9. Now go to VK11 - Enter VA00 (Condition)(For Std RVA001 Pricing Procedure) - enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the sales order.
Reward if it helps

Srini

Hi
K-Mat Creation steps
1) Create Char in CT04 with assignment of Control indicators and Char values
2) Create Class in CL02 with type 300 and assign the Char to it
3) Assign this class to Material in Classification view in MM02
4) Create Configuration Profile in CU41 and Main Profiles for PP & SD relevancy
5) Assign Constraints and Procedures to Each Profile as per the rules required by design or Business
6) Create a Configurable Material (Mat type - KMAT) with Classification,Sales,MRP,Accounting views and Planning stg 25
7) Create A Super BOM(for K-mat) and assign all the comp with Proper Selection & Pre conditions
8)Create Super Routing(For K-mat) and Assign all operations with Proper Selection
Material Variant(MV) Creation Steps(Material variants are the stockable items in VC Scenario)
1) Create a MV with Material type FERT and Stg 10 or 40 (Classification view not essential)
2) Assign the K-mat material to this MV in Basic data - 2 view in Cross Plant CM field and click on Configure variant tab to select the fixed char value combination for this MV. Do the same steps in MRP-III view
By this way u can make the stock of configure items

Populating configuration items: Computers, Services and People under Related Items tab in Computer CI form

Hi,
We have integrated SCCM and SCOM with SCSM to import the CI information in CMDB.
We are able to import few CI information from SCCM regarding softwares, OS, etc and from SCOM regarding hardware and discovered objects.
When we open the Computer CI in SCSM, we are able to relate almost all the fields from SCCM and SCOM expect Related items tab.
The Configuration Items: Computers, Services and People are empty under related items tab on Computer CI form.
Kindly please help me to understand regarding this related items tab.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
The Related Items is not automatically populated by any out-of-box connector. You can manually add related configuration items there. What were you expecting to show up under this section?

Item Classes in OPM R12

Hi,
We have done an upgrade from 11i to R12. I am not able to map few columns from the table : IC_ITEM_MST_B to a table in R12.
The columns are :
1) GL_CLASS
2) INV_CLASS etc
All Item classes are converged to item categories, but I am not able to map these classes to mtl_item_cat table.
Thanks
Shanku

Dear friend
If you maintain your bills of material in any organization other than the Item Validation Organization, you need to ensure the consistency between the bills. A common practice is to set up the bill in the item primary manufacturing organization, then common it in all other organizations that need to use it.
If an operating unit has multiple OE responsibilities, then those OE responsibilities must have the same OE validation organization in order for AutoCreate Configuration to work properly.

Configured Item BOM Structure..

Dear Techies,
I am facing a big issue for getting the bom structure for a configured item (configured thr the sales order form)..
when i use the hierarchial query in this case i get the correct result..
but my requirement is such that i hve to use the query below..
however it returns all the options in option class BOM..
However the ideal thing is that it shld only return the option selected.
That is i want only the related child items of the configured item (ie the ordered item in our case)
my query looks as below..
select a1.a1_item ordered_item, c1.c1_item,c1.c_desc1,c1_type, c2.c2_item,c2.c_desc2,c2.c2_type,c3.c3_item,c3.c_desc3,c3.c3_type

is there any field which can control this unrelated child items to the configured item 'XX'
Thanks in advance

shivjhan,
You can add sub-ATO to a parent ATO and if the supply type != Phantom, then you can generate indented ATO Item BOM.
However, the OC does not form a level.
So if your ATO model is
Computer ATO
- Hard Disk OC
      - 250GB
      - 320 GB
The * BOM looks like this
Computer ATO*12345
   -- Hard Disk OC
   -- 250GB
But you can do the following
Computer ATO
   - Hard Disk ATO
     - Hard Disk OC
         - 250GB
         - 320 GB
Now the * ATO will look like this
Computer ATO*12345
-- Hard Disk ATO*12346
   -- Hard Disk OC
   -- 250GB
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

Incident Search helps relations between Sold-to Party & Configuration Item

Hi experts,
Can someone help me to know what is the best approach for the following scenario:
When I select de Sold-to Party e.g (BP 70), then when I try to use the search help for "Configuration item" it should filter only for my BP, but this is NOT happening. The result that is showing are all items of all BP's.
How can I modify the BOL Object "Product" Search help or I have to create a "Z".
Is this the correct approach?
Thanks & Kind Regards,
César Felce

Hi,
In you can create a z class with interface IF_BSP_WD_CUSTOM_F4_CALLBACK.
In get v method of configuration item put below logic.
ls_map type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp=>gtype_param_mapping
lt_inmap type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp=>gtype_param_mapping_tab
lt_outmap type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp=>gtype_param_mapping_tab
ls_map-f4_attr = 'BP_ID'.
ls_map-context_attr = bp value.
append ls_map to lt_inmap.
append ls_map to lt_outmap.
create object rv_valuehelp_descriptor
type cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
exporting
iv _help_id = '(zclass)'
iv_help_id_kind = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_comp
iv_inputmapping= lt_inmap
iv_output_mapping = lt_outmap
iv_trigger_submit = abap_true.
Now in method if_bsp_wd_custom_f4_callback~retrieve_custom_values of your zclass put logic
check is_search_help is not initial and is_search_help-selopt is not initial.
loop at is_search_help-selopt assigning <fs_selopt>.
check <fs_selopt>-shlpfield = 'BP_ID'.
lv_bpid = <fs_selopt>-low.
endloop.
Now you have your sold to party id in lv_bpid.
now write the logic to fetch configuration items based on sold to party id and fill ct_results_tab which will your output searchhelp.
Thanks,
Tejaswini P.

Item Classes - large tables - query timeouts!!!

Hi,
I've been building a series of Item Classes in Discoverer 4.1. Admin Tool on a reasonably large set of tables - but some of the Item Classes timeout before the list of values are retrieved.
Discoverer continually tells me to go and set values for the query govenor - but I've already done this (15minute warning, 60 minute timeout).
Does the Admin Tool have another place to configure the Query Govenor - other than Tool -> Privileges -> Query Govenor Tab...
I've been able to fool the database by running a SQL*Plus query (resulting in a cached result set) for the smaller tables, but the Item Classes based on the larger table will not return.
I've reviewed the 'LOV that works more like the LOV in Oracle Forms' thread and the Database Function and Custom folder solutions will work - but I'd prefer to fix the problem at its source. Is it possible Discoverer requires an index on every column used as an item class?
Can anyone help me?
thanks,
Lance

Have a look at the timeout value specified in the registry key:
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ORACLE\Discoverer\Database\ItemClassDelay
By default it is 20 seconds.
Metalink Note refers:
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=1040079.6
You're probably safer using your lookup tables to generate LOV's anyway, since you have no guarantee that an LOV generated from a particular field in your table will contain all of the possible values available in the lookup table.

Using Echo Command in PowerShell Script for Configuration Item

Hello All,
Before you tell me to post my PowerShell question to the PowerShell Forum, please know that the PowerShell portion of my task works just fine. It is the SCCM portion of my task that keeps failing, so that is why I am here. To give some background...
There are two servers in our SCCM test environment. Both the SCCM server and SQL DB server are 2012, patched and updated.
Test servers in my Device Collection being used for running Baselines and Reports against are 2008R2 and 2012, patched and updated.
I have created a Configuration Item that checks to see if the FTP Server Role Feature has been installed on a 2008 or 2012 server. To do the check, I am using the following PowerShell script:
(get-windowsfeature -Name Web-Ftp-Server).Installed
When I log into my 2008R2 and 2012 test servers, and run this command directly on the server, it will return a "True" if the FTP Server Role Feature is installed on either server, and a "False" if it is not installed. Basically,
it works as advertised.
When I setup my Configuration Item and then deploy my Baseline, or run a report against my device collection of test servers, SCCM will return a correct response (True or False) for the 2012 test server, but throws the following error for the 2008R2
server:
0x87df00329 application requirement evaluation or detection failed
Google searches for this have not been very helpful.
Now, when I created the Configuration Item and referenced PowerShell, the configuration screen has the following note:
"Specify the script to find and return the value to be assessed for compliance on client devices. Use the echo command to return the script value to Configuration Manager."
Since I did not include an echo command in my PowerShell script above, I figured that was my problem, so I did the following:
Logging onto both of my test servers (2008R2 & 2012) I was able to successfully run the following PowerShell commands and get the expected responses of True or False:
(get-windowsfeature -Name Web-Ftp-Server).Installed | echo
(get-windowsfeature -Name Web-Ftp-Server).Installed | write-output (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849921.aspx)
(get-windowsfeature -Name Web-Ftp-Server).Installed | write-host (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177031.aspx)
However, when I use any of these PowerShell commands in my Configuration Item, NEITHER of my test servers returns a response to the SCCM server.
When I check the report, both servers show as "Unknown" and when I click on the number 2 (as in 2 servers unknown), the following report page (List of unknown assets for a configuration baseline) has absolutely no data/information at all.
So...I am at a loss.
SCCM tells me to use an echo command to return a script value to Configuration Manager. The PowerShell scripts above, with the various echo related commands, work just fine on the servers themselves, but they return no information when run via SCCM.
What am I missing?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't understand. (I forgot to mention that I am new at both PowerShell and SCCM.)
After I change the PowerShell script to add the echo/write-output/write-host cmdlet, I open the ConFig Item and "Clear" the PowerShell script and then re-add it. When I do that, it correctly shows the change in the ConFig Item.
Next I open the Baseline, then open the ConFig Item within the Baseline to make sure the change is reflected there as well, which it is.
I then deploy the Baseline to my Device Collection. After that, I run a report against the Baseline and Device Collection and it returns the "Unknown" result.
If I open the PowerShell script and remove the echo/write-output/write-host cmdlet, then go through the rest of the process of updating and reporting, the result it returns changes, showing one server in compliance and the other server out of compliance,
which leads me to think that all changes have taken correctly.
Does that sound right? If I manually deploy the Baseline, is that the same as the client retrieving policies from the management point?
Sorry to be so thick but I'm learning as I go.
Thanks again for your help.

I have used SAP doc mgmt for years. We copied a client and now when I configure a Class to my DMS DIR and go to CV01n Additional Data NONE of the characteristic entry boxes show up. Additional Data is blank.

I have used SAP doc mgmt for years. We copied a client and now when I configure a Class to my DMS DIR and go to CV01n Additional Data NONE of the characteristic entry boxes show up. Additional Data is blank.
It appears there must be some high level setting missing in the client. I have checked all authorizations and cannot find a difference between this client and all of the other clients we have. Only this one client does not show the class characteristics in the Additional Data tab.
Any ideas of why this standard function is not working). It does not matter which DIR I config the 017 class to, nothing shows on Additional Data.

Hi,
The issue is resolved. We are working in a sandbox with Class configuration on a DMS issue related to standard class 017. There are no standard settings in SPRO - Cross-Application Components | Maintain Object Types and Class Types | for the object type DRAW that will allow "auto-populating" characteristic values as we do with VC class 300.
For whatever reason DRAW and class 017 are not configured by SAP in the same manner as class 300 for example.
We made a config entry for DRAW Class 017 VBAP. Let's just say the system did not like that.
We are exploring other options.
