automate ignoring devices
Hi community
we are looking for a way to automatically ignore devices we don't need anymore. But the only point of contact that comes in my mind is through sql modifying directly the db.
Is there any supported way to automatically ignore devices? I'm thinking of an api or something similar. Scenario is that some devices are dismissed and so we want to ignore the inventory related to them immediately. Devices are dismissed day by day so we need an automatic way to do it.
Additionally, in which table and which column of that table carries the info about the column "Status" of a device in all inventory page? Final solution will be acting directly on the data stored in db.
Thank you all!
Hi @marcog
You could use a Business Adapter to set the status of you inventory devices. This has the advantage of being schedulable through the Beacon. So you could have the list of inventory devices to be ignored populated in a spreadsheet or database and have the business adapter run each day to update the status in FNMS.
The alternative as you have mentioned is directly modifying the data in the database. If you want to go down this path the table is called ComplianceComputer and the column is called ComplianceComputerStatusID whose values correspond to the values in the ComplianceComputerStatus table.
But this will anyway need someone to put the spreadsheet in place, right?
