Automatic deletion of outdate inventory data (Spider)

Are the inventory data automatically deleted after you discard the computer?
In other words, are the inventory data automatically deleted at the end of the lifecycle or is this done by order?

Is there a trigger to initiate the deletion of old inventory records from the spider asset module? Looking for best practice how to remove the data automatically.

BR, Stephanie

As far as I know Spider do not delete invetory data collected by a scanner.  You can set the Asset Status to e.g. archived or inactive. Furthermore you can configure Spider to set the Asset Status automatically to inactive, after x days of inactivity (scan date / Update date of the asset) in the Mandator Options.

Or you can use the Common Core Services (Interface Jobs) to set an Clearing Service in place.

Hi Stephanie,

 

Spider does not delete anything. As Markus mentioned, you can set an inactivity day, or set the status yourself.

 

If you want to delete Asset with FU, this is easiest and best done via Bulk Import / Mehrfachimport (Please check you have the permissions in Spider for this option) in Asset Management > Asset > Bulk Import > Import Data Sheet with assets you want to delete > Import mode / Importmodus > Delete.

Hi, 
may I ask you, do you have any clue, how to do it with CCS?

 

Thank you

@ledeckyv  Hi Vlad,

You have to create a view on the Customer DB, which contains the Assets to delete. This view must follow the structure of the bulk import tables you use within Spider itself.

Than you can configure a new Interface Job with at least one XmlOutput Task. In the table Interface_XmlOutput you specify the Task e.g. to use the created view.

Do you have the CCS documentaion? Should be available on the Flexera/Spider-Homepage.

Regards Markus

Hi,

For CCS, I haven't found a manual 😞
Thank you
