Re: Initial view in the 2019.05 UCMDB browser

Mel Farber — Fri, 18 Oct 2019 12:25:23 GMT

I tested another user, whose role is the one I created and it picked up the default login widgets.

In other words never mind.

Initial view in the 2019.05 UCMDB browser

Mel Farber — Fri, 18 Oct 2019 10:54:35 GMT

I created a role in UCMDB which only shows our custom reports. However, the user doesn't see the CMS Home Page which shows overall view of what is in UCMDB. The individual reports are under OOTB_Reports_UCMDB_Home. While I can give users view rights to that group it did not show the CMS Home Page when you start the browser.

What resource type and view do I need to give users to get the initial splash screen after logging into the UCMDB browser?

Thanks,
Mel

Assign UD Inventory license to an existing CI in 10.33

afouad — Fri, 18 Oct 2019 07:05:37 GMT

Hello Exports,

When does UCMDB assign license to the CI?

Is it happening one time at first time discovery (creation) or it is changing with the assigned jobs?

If I use one of the jobs require UD Full to discover the CI first time, will I be able to change the job to a one that needs only UDI and then UD Full will not count anymore or I need to delete the CI and rediscover again?

I have number of Desktops assigned UD full and I need to move them to take UD Inventory; can we do that or need to delete these CI's and rediscover from the beginning.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ahmed

Bill_Dyck — Thu, 17 Oct 2019 13:55:43 GMT

Thanks for submitting this idea! It appears that the required functionality already exists in the product

Re: Correct recognition of Micro Focus Software and swidtags

Bill_Dyck — Thu, 17 Oct 2019 13:55:06 GMT

I checked with the R&D folks that control this capability. Their feedback is as follows

The necessary components are in the SAI file to recognize the following

Windows version of UCMDB Server
Windows version of UCMDB Probe
The Windows and Unix versions of the agent

However, we don't have the ability to capture the Linux versions of the UCMDB server or probe because it's not delivered via a package, so the SAI method of recognizing via package rules cannot find them. At this time, there are no plans to change this.

If you find that you're not successful in capturing any of the items I've mentioned ARE available, please submit a ticket and send me the ticket number and I'll get it escalated.

New item in the enumeration list location_type_enum

JohnCI — Thu, 17 Oct 2019 13:28:21 GMT

The enumeration list location_type_enum contains old values.

We need to update the list with possible items that can be populated from the cloud discovery jobs.

Currently all the cloud discovery jobs which report Location CIs will report the attribute Location_type populated with the value Undefined, We should populate them with Cloud or something meaningful.

Re: I have an issue while invoking rest api authenticate to generate token from rest client.

MarkoVlaovic — Thu, 17 Oct 2019 06:54:07 GMT

Hi Bingluo

You nailed it! I was targeting the wrong server all along!

But it's not my fault! I wanted to explore the REST API possibilities, so of course i started with online MF documentation. So i go to the Develop->API Reference (https://docs.microfocus.com/itom/Universal_CMDB:2019.02/API_Ref)

From there it takes me to CMS REST API Reference (https://docs.microfocus.com/UCMDB/2019.02/ucmdb-docs/docs/eng/APIs/UCMDB_RestAPI/index.html).

There is a line saying:

"Note: To view the interactive REST API Reference documentation and to try executing the sample code for each REST API call, access CMS UI, and go to Help > REST API Reference."

Not once there is no mention that the target for REST calls should be the UCMDB server!

So i followed that NOTE and ended up experimenting the REST API calls on UCMDB BROWSER server!

Never, on any line in the docs i haven't seen that i should actually point my requests to UCMDB server!!!

Thank you so much for spotting this, i have altered my Postman calls and now they work fine!

So the solution to my problem is to send REST API calls to:

https://ucmdb_server:8443/rest-api/

Thanks, regards

i believe this will solve your issue as well

Detailed integration statistics

AMensching — Thu, 17 Oct 2019 06:20:14 GMT

We use the Service Manager Enhanced Adapter to transport data from the UCMDB to the Service Manager.

After a synchronization, you can see in the statistics window how many CI created, updated, deleted and failed.

Unfortunately, it does not show which CIs were affected (created, updated, deleted and failed.)

Therefore, it would be good, with a click on the appropriate number to see also details (ate least the CI display_name). That would help us quickly with problems. This functionality should also be helpful with other push adapters.

Inventory only licenses Use tag

Kumkum — Thu, 17 Oct 2019 00:54:27 GMT

-Brief Description

There is reasons that we buy inventory only licenses because that is all that we want. We didn’t care about the topology of them. However, all topology discovery adapters will discover them regardless whether we want them to be inventory only or not. This is so because the routers and switches and vCenter that provide those topology information like Layer2, will provide details of all connected devices.

-Briefly describe your idea

Inventory license only devices need to have a place of its own without regard to how the operation of the topology discovery adapters. Topology connection information for those inventory license only devices can either be withheld or not getting update at all.

-Benefits / Value

Keep the integrity of the product licensing to a point that customer can validate and plan accordingly.

-Explain why is this important? (When used, by which role, and benefits / value)

If product license options that are sold on the basis of Full or Basic, then they must be honor as such. The dynamic change of consumed licenses, that are due to discovery adapters, isn’t something that we customers can have control because those discovery adapters themselves have no control inherently. This dynamic change actually is causing major headache because we have no control over how each device is to consume the license and thereby getting penalized for violation.

Additionally, because the license consumption is an attribute that cannot be changed, all license updates by the discovery adapters are final, and change can only be done by deleting all nodes. This is very disruptive and unmanageable because all history will be gone, and the management and reporting of configuration changes will not be possible.

Re: jetty is equal to tomcat in ucmdb?

JohnCI — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 19:54:41 GMT

Jetty is the webserver for the UCMDB server and DFP. Tomcat is the webserver for CUMDB Broweser+CMS UI or in the past it was also for CM.

yes, they are both webserver applications.

Re: Change discovery credentials through rest-api - Status changed to: Accepted

Bill_Dyck — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 17:08:05 GMT

Great news, this idea has been accepted on our product roadmap. Subscribe to receive updates. (This is not a formal commitment, and subject to change)

As we add new functionality to the new CMS UI, we also expose the corresponding RESET APIs to perform the same function. The ability to manage discovery credentials via REST API is high on our list.

Re: SAI Additional Request Template for Idea Submissions

close UCMDB Job thread workers and release the DB Thread Pools to return memory to the System

jxliang101 — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 14:29:02 GMT

UCMDB Probe Job Thread workers are shared pool workers, once they are created, they will never be destroyed. The same is true with the DB Pool Threads where once created, they are never to be destroyed. The only controlling mechanism is the maximum worker and maximum number of DB Thread pool. Such a systematic behavior lead to the ever growing consumption of the system memory without ever returning them to the system. Eventually, the system will be brought down to its knees where routine diagnostics of the system cannot be done unless the probe is restarted.

System administrators often are tasked to maximize the usage of the system resources. With the above system behavior, we often have to budget at least 4G of RAM that are free at all time knowing that the system once start running the jobs, it will take up all the available memory. In the world of VM, the above system behavior works against the principle of resource sharing. This becomes the serious offender when we know those worker threads and DB Pool Threads are simply idling in the background.

As a result, we are requesting that those Job Workers and DB Thread Pools once finished their tasks, they shall be closed. Then for performance reasons, they can be closed only after a certain amount of idling time.

The same is true for the "xmlenricher_service.exe" which is the enrichment process for the handling of the scan files. They too only get activated when scan files is available. Once all scanning activity are done, they too remain as idling in the background with all the memory gobbled up where the only way to control its use is through the maximum memory parameter.

In our environment, the probe scans the server and network devices once a week, and those jobs literally are all completed within one day of time during the weekend. As you can see, after the job is completed, without any extra buffering of the memory, the system would be remaining at over 95% use of all system memories. In that scenario, it is difficult to make any attempts to log into the system and execute any kind of commands.

Re: Should SSA be installed on a standalone or as part of DF Probe Server?

Re: I have an issue while invoking rest api authenticate to generate token from rest client.

MarkoVlaovic — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 12:31:13 GMT

even with Authorization set to Basic, i still get the same response, and still no token

P.S. i'm testing this on UCMDB 2019.02 Windows

Re: I have an issue while invoking rest api authenticate to generate token from rest client.

MarkoVlaovic — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 12:28:13 GMT

Hi Bingluo,

okay, but are you getting a Token as a response or that "Login" response?

my postman attempt looks like this:

curl -X POST \
https://XXXXXXX.YYY.ZZZ:8443/ucmdb-browser/rest-api/authenticate \
-H 'Accept: */*' \
-H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
-H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
-H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
-H 'Content-Length: 79' \
-H 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
-H 'Cookie: JSESSIONID=1683E8BEEC2BF9CA95083E9BDEAA274A; INTERNAL_ACCESS_COOKIE=cLRzaSMYoNg%3D' \
-H 'Host: XXXXXXX.YYY.ZZZ:8443' \
-H 'Postman-Token: d7a3fbdf-62e5-42a3-a653-df5ea97b0021,592c9653-d64b-4fbb-985a-c5bcbb5a761e' \
-H 'User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.18.0' \
-H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
-d '{
"username": "admin",
"password": "1111111111",
"clientContext": 1
}'

(I have faked my Hostname and Password for this post)

Instead of expected response (the token), as i'm getting when testing with Swagger on Browser server:

...in postman, i'm getting the "login" page, status is still 200, but i'm not getting a token:

So it looks like the API call is successful but can't get past the login screen (which should not be there of course)... So the response is not what we expect (the Token). Any other API call produces the same "successful" response with identical "login" content...

I see the difference in your code: you have the "Authentication: Basic ....".

Can you explain how you set this up (is that the Authentic: Basic type in the Request definition? and what username and password did you supply? The same one used later in the Request body?)

Marko

Re: I have an issue while invoking rest api authenticate to generate token from rest client.

MarkoVlaovic — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 09:51:55 GMT

i have exactly the same problem. From both Postman and SoapUI, i can't get arround that login response. Using the built-in Swagger server from within CMS UI works fine, but when you want to use the API from outside, it can't pass that login screen, with or without token, even tried using user/pass type of authentication in my POST calls, tried everything i could think of. But then again, i'm a REST API newbie...

UCMDB job status change after job not started at scheduled time

jakub_z — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 07:55:06 GMT

Hi,

i would like to suggest a change in UCMDB UI Job displayed status when the job was not started at scheduled time.

My Customers expectation is to see in UI (informationally for Admin or Operator) that the job was not run at scheduled time.
Now, once the job skippes (no mather the reason) the scheduled run, We still see the latest status - in our case Successfull (green, which is actually wrong),
Proper status in that situation should be anything else but not "green", because there was something disturbing in correct working.

In my case, the skipped job has been found, because some very important system (MF Service Manager) was not supplied with fresh data and Business unit was lack with info.
For instance. Think about some less important system which was not supplied 5 or 10 times in row. In UCMDB UI We would still see a SUCCESS status.

KR, jakub

From K8S perspective, the information in this idea is irrelevant so not retrievable by K8S RESTAPI. To get this information, we need to improve the Host Application by Shell job. So we’ll approach your enhancement by changing the function to “If we run the HAbS on the K8S node, it should be merged with the node reported by K8S”.

Re: Correct recognition of Micro Focus Software and swidtags

It should appear as raw installed software. If one wants to have normalised installed software (just like any other software coming out of our SAI recognition) for every software id tag it is necessary to create an installed package rule of type “Software Id Tag” – then the normalised installed software CI will start to be reported. This should be done using the SAI Editor in a user SAI.

(UCMDB Support Tip) Discovery not updating CI attributes - Last Access Time and Last Discovered Time

Jackie Gilmour — Wed, 09 Oct 2019 14:02:19 GMT

Summary

Why are the Last Access Time and Last Discovered Time not updated when a job runs for the 2nd time and there are no changes?

Solution

If there are no changes to the CI then these values are not updated until the Touch process runs. The sendTouchToServer job by default only runs once per day.

You can change appilog.agent.probe.sendTouchToServer.interval in DataFlowProbe.properties files, which has a default of 1 day (86400000) and restart the probe if you need the touch time to be updated more regularly. Beware that this will have a performance impact.

The touch mechanism is executed for all CIs at the same time for the probe. The Last Access Time and Last Discovery Time are not identical. The Last Discovery Time is the actual time of the last discovery. The Last Access Time can be can be updated by many different processes such as enrichment, integrations etc... The time here is the time the process updated it.

General Information about the Touch Process:

The very first touch time on a probe when it is installed is by default 0 o'clock UTC.

From then on there are potentially two formulas at play:

(1) If there is no start and end interval only Formula 1 is used:
Formula 1: System.currentTimeMillis() > lastTouchTime + tIntervalForTouchingResult;
e.g. default tIntervalForTouchingResult = 24h

(2) Example below when a start and end time are used and the interval is changed to 12h:

appilog.agent.probe.touchWindowMechanism.startTime = 00:59
appilog.agent.probe.touchWindowMechanism.endTime = 05:59
appilog.agent.probe.sendTouchToServer.interval = 43200000(12h)

Let's say that the lastTouchTime = '2019-06-16 01:30'.

We decide whether the touch should work by the following two Formulas:
Formula1: as above

Formula2:
currentTime(mm:ss) is greater than startTime (e.g. 00:59) and currentTime(mm:ss) is less than endTime (e.g. 05:59)

So given the example times above here are 3 scenarios.

(a) When the currentTime is '2019-06-16:13:30',Formula1 is true But Formula2 is false so the touch does not run.
(b) When the currentTime is '2019-06-17 00:59', though the lastTouchTime is 2019-06-16 01:30' but the tIntervalForTouchingResult is 12h.So Formula1 is true and Formula2 is also true. So the touch starts on schedule without any time shifted. We set the lastTouchTime to '2019-06-17 00:59'.
(c) When the currentTime is '2019-06-17 12:59' though Formula1 is ture, But Formula2 is false so the touch will not run.

If you have more than one probe then it is probably best that you set the start and end time to avoid the server becoming overloaded - here is the documentation - https://docs.microfocus.com/itomw/Universal_CMDB:2019.08/DfpPrvtTouchInfo
Note: The times in the DataFlowProbe.properties are UTC. If the touch fails and is tried again then this can cause the time to move.

This request is related to the Oracle inventory. This is a request to enhance the scanner to be able to get the list of the oraInventory from a file.
This is needed when then is no unique central inventory but multiple oraInventory in case the Oracle installations on a same server are fully separated from each others and Oracle not necessarily installed via the Oracle Universal Installer.

Re: uCMDB Asset Manager Integration

Ivan Kovac_1 — Wed, 09 Oct 2019 06:55:44 GMT

You must modify reconciliation rules in AM Generic adapter. Look to am-push-config.xml file in the adapter and you'll find there reconciliation rules for each AM table. For example amComputer ci-type="ITEquipment" has following rules:

<reconciliation>
<reconciliation-advanced>Portfolio.GlobalId = '${if(globalId==null) { throw new com.hp.amadapter.push.exception.AMPushAdvancesReconciliationException('Not enough reconciliation data') }else{ return globalId}}' OR Portfolio.CMDBId = '${if(globalId==null) { throw new com.hp.amadapter.push.exception.AMPushAdvancesReconciliationException('Not enough reconciliation data') }else{ return globalId}}'</reconciliation-advanced>
<reconciliation-advanced>Portfolio.Model.Name = '${mappings.scripts.AMReconcil.trimRight(vModelName)}' AND Portfolio.Model.Nature.Code = '${vNatureCode}' AND Portfolio.Asset.SerialNo = '${if(vSerialNo==null) { throw new com.hp.amadapter.push.exception.AMPushAdvancesReconciliationException('Not enough reconciliation data') }else{ return mappings.scripts.AMReconcil.trimRight(vSerialNo)}}' AND 1=${if(iIsComputerAVM==true){return 0} else{return 1}}</reconciliation-advanced>
<reconciliation-keys>
<reconciliation-key ignore-case="true">AssetTag</reconciliation-key>
</reconciliation-keys>
<reconciliation-advanced>TcpIpHostName = '${vComputerName}' and WorkGroup = '${vWorkGroup}' and Portfolio.Model.Nature.seComputerType = 3 AND 1=${if(iIsComputerAVM==true){return 1} else{return 0}}</reconciliation-advanced>
<reconciliation-advanced>TcpIpHostName = '${vComputerName}' and WorkGroup = '${vWorkGroup}' and Portfolio.Model.Nature.seComputerType <> 3 AND 1=${if(iIsComputerAVM==true){return 0} else{return 1}}</reconciliation-advanced>
<reconciliation-advanced>(TcpIpHostName = '${vComputerName + '.' + vWorkGroup}' OR (WorkGroup = '${vWorkGroup}' AND (TcpIpHostName like '${vComputerName + '.%'}' OR TcpIpHostName = '${mappings.scripts.AMReconcil.getShortHostName(vComputerName)}'))) and Portfolio.Model.Nature.seComputerType = 3 AND 1=${if(iIsComputerAVM==true){return 1} else{return 0}}</reconciliation-advanced>
<reconciliation-advanced>(TcpIpHostName = '${vComputerName + '.' + vWorkGroup}' OR (WorkGroup = '${vWorkGroup}' AND (TcpIpHostName like '${vComputerName + '.%'}' OR TcpIpHostName = '${mappings.scripts.AMReconcil.getShortHostName(vComputerName)}'))) and Portfolio.Model.Nature.seComputerType <> 3 AND 1=${if(iIsComputerAVM==true){return 0} else{return 1}}</reconciliation-advanced>
</reconciliation>

If you would use Serial Number as only one unique reconciliation key, you should modify this section like this:

<reconciliation-keys>
<reconciliation-key ignore-case="true">Portfolio.Asset.SerialNo</reconciliation-key>
</reconciliation-keys>

Be careful to change standard reconciliation rules, you must be sure that chosen key or set of keys is really unique in all of your environment.

Re: Update 10.33 to 2019.05. Tips

Mel Farber — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 13:24:41 GMT

We needed to upgrade from 10.22 to 2019.05. I chose to do a clean install. I hadn't done most of the setup of 10.22 and I wanted to learn the details. The customer didn't want downtime and I could not give a time frame. I was able to create packages of the configuration and most came over. My zones did not, even though the output of the load said it had. I don't know where they went. If you have a lot of zones recreating them would be a pain. We also had several DFPs. I have encountered some issues, but the learning and fixing has been well worth it.

Some warnings. If you use NTLM to connect to remote SQL database you will need a hot fix. The wizard doesn't work otherwise. If you have a CA the passwords you put in during the install/configuration are not used. The configuration has default passwords. I had a problem changing the passwords using the jmx-console. There is a script to make the changes, but the documentation is wrong (don't add spaces between the arguments, like -fxxx and not -f xxx).

From an admin GUI there is no difference. From a browser GUI it looks and runs much better and has more functionality.

Update 10.33 to 2019.05. Tips

bolonia — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 01:48:49 GMT

Hello everyone. I have been asked to migrate UCMDB version 10.33 to the most recent one, I think 2019.05 Based on your experiences or what recommendation does Micro Focus have for this procedure, is this update simple? Or should I consider implementing from scratch? Is there any documentation? Have you used 2019.05? How many improvements does it bring us or what is your recommendation of the best version of these last 10 months? Finally, how long will version 10.33 have support? Thanks for contributions.

Kubernetes discovery additional Node CI attributes

jbspencer — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 19:34:03 GMT

During Kubernetes discovery, flat Node CIs are created and in order to collapse/merge with existing CIs we recommend the following attributes, if applicable and can be populated from K8 API.

Name (Note, the field should be populated with hostname and not the FQDN. Case SD02563360)
Domain Name
Serial Number
MAC Address (with related Interface)
Related IP
1. Name
2. Populate Authoritative DNS with the FQDN (wish list, not required).
Related Interface

We understand if any of the above attributes are not accessible during the discovery due to limitations within K9 API, however at minimum Name, however one other key attribute would be much appreciated to obtain the most possible accurate merge or no merge reconciliation condition during data-in.

Thanks!

Include sequence number in compound relations

bnadon — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 15:32:04 GMT

Hello, when displaying compound relations it will helpful to include a sequence number (and actually display the lines in sequence).

When you define complex compound relations that use the same CI types, it becomes difficult to understand what the compound relation is supposed to do.

I have included an example of a virtual compound with 8 elements that reuses 3 different CIT:

Re: When / how does push back of uCMDB ID to Service Manager happen?

SansarChoinyambuu — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 14:35:20 GMT

We can already see that seperate REST requests are sent to SM for every ucmdbID pushback. We can see TCP/IP connections being opened in hundreds from probe server for those push back requests.

Also on SM side we can see those seperate REST requests, for pushback.

Why uCMDB implemented the import in chunks but push-back with single requests, is beyond my comprehension and massive design failure.

Re: Service Manager integration job failure due to NullPointerException

SansarChoinyambuu — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 14:30:48 GMT

I want to post the work-around we have found. Hopefully it will help others having same issue.

Work-around is to create seperate integration points for each SM population jobs.

Underlying issue is when chunks of different jobs within single integration point keep coming, uCMDB has difficulties mapping those chunks to correct jobs.

Create list of all triggered CIs for a discovery job

Paul Meaders — Sun, 06 Oct 2019 14:23:39 GMT

Is there a way to get a list of all of the triggered CIs for a particular discovery job? The Discovery Status job will report CI's which ended with warning or error. I am looking for a way to get all triggered CIs including those which were successful.

For example, I would like to get a list of all of the triggered CI's for host connection by shell. I would then compare that list against other sources to help verify that everything in the environment is getting discovered.

Thanks

Re: Correct recognition of Micro Focus Software and swidtags

Paul Meaders — Sun, 06 Oct 2019 13:36:12 GMT

Following up on the comment "For procucts with have a native package or swidtag file, UD inventory discovery will use them to create package rules to recognize."

We have a requirement to track our in-house applications. Where they are deployed, what version, etc. We want to use a swidtag file for this purpose. We have created the swidtag files and I can see them in the xsf files. Our goal is to have an installed software CI created based on these tags. However nothing else seems to happen, no installed software CI is created.

There is obviously something we are missing. I am looking for more information on how to use the swidtag files and the required configuration steps within UCMDB. I have posted this topic on the community forum under the title "Using Software ID tags to discovery local software". However it is still unresolved.

Missing CI's in result of integration query

Ivan Kovac_1 — Sat, 05 Oct 2019 21:40:33 GMT

Hello,

I have problem with OOTB integration UCMDB 11.x and AM 9.70. I would use push job to transfer CI's to AM, however there are missing CI's in result of integration query, that is processed on probe side.

As example I can specify following situation. There are two vmware clusters in UCMDB with same name but configured in different vcenter, co containment in UCMDB is different and separate in UCMDB. I have prepared TQL in UCMDB that should push this two cluster CI's to AM (query is based on ootb AM Cluster Push 2.0).

When I invoked calculateTqlAdHoc method in JMX, result is following:

Mbean: UCMDB:service=TQL Services. Method: calculateTqlAdHoc

Calculation finished. Calculation time: 121 ms. Calculation result size: 2

Result:

Re: Online help is no longer available after UCMDB 10.33

Bill_Dyck — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 16:56:30 GMT

You mentioned "the value for online help showed True". The setting should be "false". Can you verify that's what it is?

For me, when I click on the help icon, I am sent to this file, and not the online site

I just tried it on UCMDB 2019.05 on Windows 2016 and it didn't work. I made the change in the UCMDB local client, but help still went to docs.microfocus.com. I used the jmx-console and made the change there and help still went to docs.microfocus.com. I brought up the UCMDB GUI in my browser. The value for online help showed True, but Help still went to docs.microfocus.com. The instructions did not indicate a need to restart UCMDB.

Re: Online help is no longer available after UCMDB 10.33 - Status changed to: Already Offered

Bill_Dyck — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 15:57:25 GMT

Turns out this is a feature that is already offered! I didn't even know this :-). I tested this on my own instance of CMS 2019.05 and I can see the local filepath was used when I went to a help topic.

Here are the details

CMS 11, 2018.05, 08, 11, CMS 2019.02 – search for “How to enable Localized Online Help”. For example

CMS 2019.05 – search for “Online and Offline Context Sensitive Help”. For example

Re: Tuning installed software

John Goldstein — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 15:56:00 GMT

Gary,

I've done it but it's not an easy way. I had to rewrite the AM Push scripts and mapping XML files. I still bring in all the software titles in UCMDB to the AM Inventory Model (amInventModel) table to be managed. I can then normalize to a final software model or set to a not managed software model. Then when the software is pushed to the Installed Software (amSoftInstall) table it is either ignored or Insert / Updated based on the final model linked in the Inventory Model table.

Tuning installed software

gamoon — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 15:39:27 GMT

We are running integrations from UCMDB to Asset Manager. There are a large number of software titles that we do not manage in asset manager. We get an error in the fcmdb.push.all.log about ERROR [AdHoc:AD_HOC_TASK_PATTERN_ID-163292-1570203011743] - >> The software title with Inventory Key value [Some unmanaged software title] has been ignored since the invent model record doesn't exists in AM. Is there a easy way to not even attempt to send unmanaged software titles to AM?

Do you know how to use the include/exclude parameters under the raw option. I assume it is some sort of regex, however it is matching product name, filename, ?

If you have an example that would be great.

Thanks

Timeout for VMware VirtualCenter Topology by VIM

Mel Farber — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 11:25:26 GMT

We are running UCMDB 2019.05 on Windows. The VMware VCenter Topology by VIM gets triggered, but we get a Timeout warning and the details show that "Job was running more than 1msec". I don't see any timeout options in the adapter. The job had worked earlier in testing, but not now.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mel

Change discovery credentials through rest-api

Gidarno — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 10:59:26 GMT

We would like to change the discovery credentials through the rest-api in the UCMDB.
Is this possible?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately changing that setting doesn't seem to make a difference. I will keep digging.

Re: logical application class

Paul Meaders — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 19:58:21 GMT

Looking at the CI Type: Business Services View in the document you referenced I find the following:

Description: Obsolete class. Replaced by logical_application class

However if I search the document I don't find any references which describe the logical_application class.

Where can I find the details for the logical_application class?

Re: from UCMDB i need report of 200 CIs for OS name, OS version, OS vendor, created by, could you pl

Kartik — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 14:45:58 GMT

You can specify the conditions based on the data you have in 'Query Node Properties' of your query in Pattern based view. But I know, putting 200 conditions is much work. Try to consolidate the conditions and apply them to the query. That's what I can suggest. It's nice if you already found simplified solution! If so, please post back.

Thank you for sharing your idea! It’s open for comments and kudos, and we’re looking forward to input from the community. Once there is enough community traction, it will be further reviewed by the product team

Unfortunately, since the Idea Exchanges relies on the votes from the CMS community to indicate overall value, the standard language is English for the overall Idea Exchange scope.

While I have done the Google translate to get an understanding of what you’re requesting, it’s very unlikely others in the community will do the same. Would you resubmit your request in English? It would provide a much better opportunity for your idea to get support from the rest of the CMS community

I tried to write to you directly, but it appears your email address used to submit this idea is not accepting incoming emails.

Thanks for submitting your idea! It looks like this is a duplicate with previous work in this space. We are closing this idea. However, I have also followed up in a separate email to work together with you to get this OEM adapter working correctly.
