  1. Why does my DataExplorer backup give me an unhandled exception during Snow Inventory upgrade?

    I cannot run the Snow Inventory Data Explorer (a prompt from the Snow Inventory installer) to export all my computers from Snow (to back it all up prior to an upgrade) while I'm trying to upgrade Snow Inventory Server from v6 to v25.1.

     

    When I run the installer it asks for the SQL db connections (which I think are correct because I can login to SQL from that machine as that account) but it gives me an unhandled exception error saying it invalid object name 'client' (see exception below) and then just crashes. I couldn't find any logs in Event Viewer nor any for DataExplorer under C:\Program Files\Snow Software\Logs\ directory.

     

    I'm upgrading the following components versions below, is there any way to get this data backed up without having ot go through the DataExplorer backup process? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

    Inventory 6 -> 25.1

    LicenseMgr 9 -> 26.1

    Integration 6.3 -> 26.2

  3. Updated Best Practice for Large Environments

     

    Hey Snow Globe Community Users!

     

    Not sure that you have seen, we have updated the Best Practice for Large Environments. Very useful for you as it provides best practice guidelines and recommendations for the installation, maintenance, and performance optimization of Snow Software products.

     

    I also like to take the opportunity to promote you to use our Snow Docs portal, this is where you will find documentation to help you install, configure and use Snow Software products.

     

    Kind Regards

  4. Cannot view all the support tickets for my organisation

    With the old community, I used to be able to see all the support cases for my organisation. However, on the new community it looks like I can only view my own cases.

     

    Would it be possible to reinstate that? We really need a way to see all our support tickets.

     

    Thanks, David

  5. Other OrgID info not showing in tables

    So I was running the following query 

    select l.FullName, l.Email, l.Location, c.HostName, x.Name from SnowLicenseManager.dbo.tblUserInfo l

     

    inner join SnowLicenseManager.dbo.tblComputerUsers k on l.UserID = k.UserID

     

    inner join SnowLicenseManager.dbo.tblComputer c on k.ComputerID = c.ComputerID

     

    inner join SnowLicenseManager.dbo.tblComputerApplications a on c.ComputerID =a.ComputerID

     

    inner join SnowLicenseManager.dbo.tblApplication x on a.ApplicationID = x.ApplicationID

     

    where x.Name like 'ActivePerl 5' and k.MostFrequent = 1

    I thought all was well until I realized that this was only pulling info for the main OrgID. For example we have Org123 and Org123/Dev.

    Anyone know why these tables are only pulling data for the one OrgID?

    • Hi Andrew I just can not test it, and send a SQL. Only an idea. Is it possible that your computers in Dev do not have a user? You only used inner joins. So when there is no computeruser then you will not get results.  Perhaps it may help to use an outer join when you join tblcomputer and tblcomputerusers and for that test then remove the condition mostfrequent =1 Then you can check if all computers with Activeperl5 should be listed
