I guess I had some other logic issue with my adapter. When I backed out me changes and used the word Active without any parenthesis all was good. Thanks for helping.

We have a customer user data enrichment routine using a business adapter. Since we have begun to reuse AD user names I need to update our matching rules to look for only Users and Managers in the Active status. For the example below I am trying to adjust the Matching rule to include both 'Account Name = [ADAccountName]' and 'User Status = 'Active'. After making the change the record is rejected. I have tried mulitple variants as well, Active, "Active", 1. Could someone shed some light I what I can do to match only on active records?

I have attached an example of a business adapter which populates an inventory target from an excel spreadsheet containing a list of server names. The business adapter process 1. Clears the existing target list 2. Populates a staging table from the spreadsheet contents 3. Repopulates the target from the spreadsheet list of servers I am using this automation to support the need to remotely inventory XenDesktop parents which is a pain to keep maintained for an organization our size. You can reuse this for different purposes just remember I hardcoded the insert to the BeaconTargetDiscoveredDeviceMapping_MT table columns TenantID and Include to value of 1. This may need to be updated for your purposes. Any other changes needed for the business adapter xml are in <> brackets. Please don't critique my work too much I didn't spend much time on this. It does work nice though.

I am using the following database query as part of a compliance process to prove ADDM computers are in FNMS --Verify ADDM Computers are in FNMS inventory, expect results for AIX LPARs and VIO(AIX) machines as these are assigned a
--different Serial number in FNMS than is discovered by ADDM to avoid duplication of serial numbers
SELECT * FROM [AddmStaging].[dbo].[Host_ci]
LEFT JOIN [FNMS].[dbo].[ComplianceComputer_MT] as Comp ON [AddmStaging].[dbo].[Host_ci].Serial = Comp.SerialNo
WHERE [AddmStaging].[dbo].[Host_ci].Serial IS NOT NULL
AND Comp.SerialNo is NULL

Has anyone had any experience collecting XenApp and XenDesktop inventory from the Citrix Hosted Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops? I am not sure if the XenApp Server agent and XenDesktop Discovery and Inventory Rules will run on the vendor hosted offerings. Interested to see what others have used for this platform as a service offering.

At this point we haven't implemented this automation. We found some trouble with duplicate of IP and Names in Discovered devices that presented a challenge, I assume we could use all matching records. We found no way to accomplish this through the Business Adapter Studio (BAS). My next steps were to look at building a powershell script to pull the data we needed and directly repopulate the inventory target directly into the appropriate database tables. I had some other priorities but will look to due this in the future.

We need to run zero-touch inventory on our Citrix VDI parents and unique VDIs to support proper Citrix inventory and license entitlement mappings. See:How-to-Inventory-Citrix-XenDesktop-and-XenApp-using-FlexNet The problem is specifying inventory targets is a very manual process. It also expects your machines fit into nice groups like by name or subnet (which isn't realistic) or you need to specify each individual machine by name. We have hundreds of VDI parents or unique machines which change frequently. Keeping the list of machines up to date in the inventory target list is not sustainable. Has anyone had success populating inventory target via automation? I would like to build a database script, batch process, or use the business adapter studio to remove and regenerate the inventory target list. Looking for pointers on others who may be doing this or have ideas on how to accomplish this. Thanks =Damon

You should be able to accomplish this all from the 'All Inventory' page in FNMS. Configure your search criteria so only the devices you want to delete are returned. Increase results to returned to max. Then (see attached) 1. Click the Select All Check Box 2. Remove Asset Links 3. Delete

If this is the account was used to configure FNMS changing the password will cause problems because the password is cached in the application configuration. To complete this in the past I was able to get all the passwords updated by re-running all the configuration (powershell) scrips that were completed when you do an upgrade or installation. These are the scripts that are in the documented under 'Configure the System'. After that I had to update the service account passwords on the beacon and Business Adapter configurations. If you have a policy against non-expiring passwords this can introduce quite a bit of work and additional risk. I wish Flexera would come up with a much easier process to complete this process because non-expiring passwords are becoming a thing of the past.

Recently, I used the instructions provided by adrian_ritz1 successfully to kill a hung task. After I killed the task I still couldn't get subsequent reconciliations to run. I had to find and delete the records for the hung jobs (2018 R2 Release). After that, scheduled reconciliation tasks started running correctly. You should not need to do this but if you find yourself in the same place here are the queries I used. SELECT t.DefaultValue,* FROM [dbo].[BatchProcessExecution] b INNER JOIN BatchProcessType t ON b.BatchProcessTypeID = t.BatchProcessTypeID ORDER BY BatchProcessExecutionID DESC -- Use this process to delete old entries. Especially necessary after produciton database refresh. Delete FROM [dbo].[BatchProcessExecution] WHERE Submitted < SYSDATETIME() AND BatchProcessExecution.Progress = 0

Thanks for the reply. Your proposed solution for utilizing the AppID seems like a robust option, as Citrix Logic could utilize the AppID discretely, avoiding conflicts with matching for traditional installation evidence and from future upgraded breaking the Citrix logic. Just an idea: It may be even more elegant if the evidence could be automatically linked to application where the matching file evidence is already linked. This would provide some automation minimizing the need to manually map, and the risk of missing it on ARL managed packages.
