≪ Previous: Inventory Database Schema 7.5, Part 5 - Network Devices

This is Part 6 of a 7 part article series detailing the data classes for Inventory, including Inventory Pack for Servers 7.5, providing administrators the knowledge they need to report on the newly expanded data set provided by this Solution. This Pack provides add on data to what is already gathered by Inventory Solution and should be considered an extension, not a replacement, of the main Solution.

Introduction

Documenting database schema is not an easy task. SQL can provide a table-column view of all selected tables, but this does not account for any interdependencies between tables in a normalized environment. In 7.5 for Inventory Pack for Servers, Normalization includes dependencies on base-class tables, or, in other words, subsequent tables are extensions of the base table. Association tables are also in use.

NOTE: The information in this document may change, though at the time of publication this is believed to be the accurate information for Inventory Pack for Servers 7.5.

Database Schema

The following list reveals data classes and their structure. First, the name of the table is given, followed by a designation as a Base or Sub Class data class. The following label system is used:

BASE Class – This is a data class that has no dependencies on other Inventory data classes
SUB Class – This is a data class that has 1 dependency on a BASE data class
STANDARD Class – This is a data class that contains no dependencies or sub classes
ASSOCIATION Class – This data class associates two other data classes’ rows together (not dependencies)

Note the following when reviewing the grids:

Display Name represents how the column will be labeled when working within the Symantec Management Console, including reports, Resource Manager details, Pickers, etc.
Not all values have descriptions, but the label of the table and column should provide data on what’s stored therein.
When a BASE Class is listed, all subsequent SUB classes are tied to that BASE Class, sequentially, below.
Qualifiers per Column/Value are provided based on applicability.

For help in navigating dependent data classes, use the following guide:

Conclusion

Because of the complexity of the Virtual Machine data, the data classes above are necessarily complex.

Inventory Database Schema 7.5, Part 7 - Inventory Pack for Servers Database and Web

October 21, 2014, 2:01 pm

≫ Next: Liveupdate/SEPM question

≪ Previous: Inventory Database Schema 7.5, Part 6 - Inventory Pack for Servers Virtual Machine Data

This is Part 7 of a 7 part article series detailing the data classes for Inventory, including Inventory Pack for Servers 7.5, providing administrators the knowledge they need to report on the newly expanded data set provided by this Solution. This Pack provides add on data to what is already gathered by Inventory Solution and should be considered an extension, not a replacement, of the main Solution.

Introduction

Documenting database schema is not an easy task. SQL can provide a table-column view of all selected tables, but this does not account for any interdependencies between tables in a normalized environment. In 7.0 for Inventory Pack for Servers, Normalization includes dependencies on base-class tables, or, in other words, subsequent tables are extensions of the base table. Association tables are also in use.

NOTE: The information in this document may change, though at the time of publication this is believed to be the accurate information for Inventory Solution 7.5.

Database Schema

The following list reveals data classes and their structure. First, the name of the table is given, followed by a designation as a Base or Sub Class data class. The following label system is used:

BASE Class – This is a data class that has no dependencies on other Inventory data classes
SUB Class – This is a data class that has 1 dependency on a BASE data class
STANDARD Class – This is a data class that contains no dependencies or sub classes
ASSOCIATION Class – This data class associates two other data classes’ rows together (not dependencies). This class type may include tables not a part of Server Inventory

Note the following when reviewing the grids:

Display Name represents how the column will be labeled when working within the Symantec Management Console, including reports, Resource Manager details, Pickers, etc.
Not all values have descriptions, but the label of the table and column should provide data on what’s stored therein.
When a BASE Class is listed, all subsequent SUB classes are tied to that BASE Class, sequentially, below.
Qualifiers per Column/Value are provided based on applicability.

For help in navigating dependent data classes, use the following guide:

Inv_Database
- Inv_Oracle_Database
Inv_Database_Service
- Inv_Oracle_Database_Service
Inv_Apache_Http_Host_Setting_Data

≫ Next: How to install Altiris 7.5 SP1 on Windows 2012 (Best Practices)

≪ Previous: Inventory Database Schema 7.5, Part 7 - Inventory Pack for Servers Database and Web

I need a solution

I've just been handed support of our Symantec products (we currently use a LUA, SEPM and thousands of SEP clients). I need to upgrade our SEPM (and soon our SEP clients) to address some vulnerabilities and I've got a few questions regarding definitions from LUA.

Our current SEPM is on 12.1 RU4, we will be upgrading to 12.1 RU5.

In a week we will be upgrading the SEP client on a bunch of backend servers to 12.1 RU5.

We will still have 2200+ 11.X clients out there until I can get approval to upgrade those in a month or so.

I currently have my LUA downloading 12.1 RU4 and 11.x definitions

Changing things in my environment can be somewhat of a nightmare due to :processes:

1) When I update the SEPM to 12.1 RU5, do I need to have my LUA downlaod 12.1 RU5 definitions?

2) Once I update my backend servers to 12.1 RU5, do i need to download the 12.1 RU5 defs?

Basically I want to avoid having to go through change control until I upgrade the thousands of endpoints we have out there if at all possible, and also keep the load on the LUA server down as much as possible by having it download as little as needed.

We have just upgraded our SEPM server and now all the clients are not communicating to the single management server. The upgrade was successful but when looking at the client connection status the “last successful connection” was made just before the upgrade to the server name which was DOMAIN but not on the “Last Attempted Connection” was made to Domain.xxxxx.local (same port)

It appears that the upgrade process uses a different server name?

Needing some assistance on why these two are so different. The video attached which is working correctly is from my local system. The system which is not working correctly is from another system which I'm using for testing. This issue was first brought to my attention when our patch admin showed me. I can access everything correctly from the server and locally from my system. I've verified all Internet explorer settings with my own as well as Java. What am I missing? Can anyone shed some insight on this please. See videos for exact issue. We are running IE 11 in compatibility mode on both systems. If I enable/open the F12 Developer tools on the system which isn't opening correctly it will then respond like it should. Which doesn't make sense to me.

Thank you,

I have a workflow that needs to read files from a Subversion repository that is available via a URL. Many of the files were created with the %20 URL encoding used to replace an ASCII space. When I try to read these files I get a (404) Not Found error. I assume that when the name is being resolved the system is replacing the %20 with a space. The files that do not have the URL encoding process without any problems.

I am using a Read Files component with the File Path Type set to URL. Does anyone have a suggestion for getting the system to read the %20 as valid characters in the file name?

Hi everyone

I have setup a test server 2012 and installed DS6.9 Sp6.

I copied over my FIRM commands from the current live server which do the Replace Tokens naming on unattend.xml so the PC is named properly.

The FIRM commands seem to have changed. I did a search for firm and found it is named firm.exe and located in several directories on server 2012. I have tried a bunch of the various firm executables but all of them fail to copy the unattend file over to the PC.

The error on the splash screen on the PC reads "The system cannot execute the specified program".

Can someone send me a copy of the FIRM command when using it with replace tokens on Server 2012?

Thank You,

Sean

PS: Below is my current FIRM/Replace tokens commands on the live server which works great! And I have already tried changing firm-win.exe to just firm.exe

.\firm-win.exe copy .\Images\sysprep\imaged\%ID%.txt PROD:\windows\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml

Hi Everyone,

I have a task that I'd like to run every day at the exact same time, but only if those computes are on at that exact time. I scheduled this task at 5:30 and it works within 3 minutes, which is acceptable. However, the task still tries to run on the computers that are off for the next hour. Should a machine be turned on at 5:45, the task runs, which is undesireable. Is there an adjustment on the timeout of tasks on NS 7.5? Setting this to 10 min or so would reduce the issue to an acceptable level.

I would use DS 6.9 but it tries to wake the comptuers to run tasks which is less desierable still.

Please don't confust this with the "end task after x minutes" option. I don't want to kill the task, I just don't want it to try running on a machine that is turned on after the run time specified.
