Hi Community,
I have the following issue.
FNMS 2018 R3 on prem implementation
Asset import from SNOW, via mid servers
The problem is that the quality of data in SNOW are very bad, I have a lot of assets with no serial number, the serial number is blank, or have the value UNKNOWN or do not match the one from inventory.
I'm searching for a solution to link the asset with inventory only after hostname if it's possible, or at least to reduce the number of the unlinked inventory.
Thank you for your hints and I wish you all a nice day.

Hi Adrian,
There are mutiple options.
- You can use a Business Import to link inventories and assets. Here is a little sample SQL statement.
SELECT cc.ComputerName Inventory ,a.ShortDescription Asset FROM ComplianceComputer cc JOIN Asset a ON cc.AssetID IS NULL AND cc.ComputerName = a.ShortDescription
- Or you could update the database itself. Example:
UPDATE cc SET cc.AssetID = a.AssetID FROM ComplianceComputer cc JOIN Asset a ON cc.AssetID IS NULL AND cc.ComputerName = a.ShortDescription
Poor data quality, especially duplicates in device names and asset names, can lead to problems. So please be cautious with any of these options. You should review the SQL results before actually changing anything. If possible, test them in a non-production environment first.
Both code examples do exclude inventories which are already linked to an asset.
Best regards,
Markward
