Dears, I am trying to create a report to fetch vendor and asosciated contracts. While I was working on the current report, for example: report01, after I saved it, an additional report was now available along with report01, which is "report02* ". Could you please tell me why this additional report was created? Also as long as I am editing and testing out different objects, the report works, but it does not display anything after I have saved it, is this a known behaviour? Any suggestion here would really help. Finally, I don't see any option to delete a report, how can I delete a report? I've tried editing the report, and deleting the object individually but this does not work.   Thank you in advance.   Regards, Aftab Ansari ... View more

Hi All, I am trying to create a report to fetch the below details, I am not getting the required output as there is a confusion between calculated user and managed user. When I use calculated user, I am able to fetch almost all users except for some. When I use managed user, no user is found. Kindly advise. License Name Entitlement Consumption Usage Inventory system name & User. Regards, Aftab Ansari ... View more

Hi All, We have been trying to integrate a reporting tool(Reporting Server) with SVM. This tool fetches all of the scan results and then generates reports based on the users requirements. When testing it with one of our client it was seen that there were 1 million records for past 8 weeks that were being fetched by the reporting server, and the query would time out. On further checks it was seen that the client was running a daily import with thousands of servers in it. This import was then deleted, along with any other import that had a same host but was grouped differently. Currently the client has only 2 imports import1 - 14,296 hosts (executed once every week) import2 - 3646 hosts (executed once every week) We tried to fetch the records for the scans done in last week, the number has gone down to 32239. Then we tried to fetch the number of hosts that were scanned, and the returned value is 17927. On further checking it was seen that hosts are scanned twice on two consecutive days. For example: scan date is 17th Feb, host belonging to one of the above imports was scanned again on 18th. We have verified with client that at a time a host is part of only one import. Could you confirm if this is a normal behavior? What else can I check here? Why is the host being scanned twice on 17th and 18th when the import is scheduled to run only once every week(17th Feb in this case) The client is licensed for only 10K hosts, and they are running scans for more than that. This is also generating additional records in the database, is there a way where we can limit SVM to scan only 10K hosts, and any additional scan should not be logged in database? I have verified host license for the client is set to 10K. Is there a way to not log errors "license reached limit" in database, can we purge these? If yes, which database/table should I be looking at to achieve this? I would really appreciate if there is a link that I could refer to, to better understand how data is being stored in database.   Regards, Aftab Ansari ... View more

Hi All, Can we use SVM to patch Dell Drivers? 1] If yes, do we follow the normal procedure that we use to patch an application in svm? 2] If not why can't we do it? Any suggestions/links to understand this better would really help.   Regards, Aftab Ansari ... View more

Hi All, I am trying to find away on how to verify that price is coming from all PO's and not just some. So far from what I understand, I go to Procurement > Processed Purchases and filter purchase order based on "Purchase is missing unit price". Is this the correct logic? If not kindly advise further. Thank you in advance.   Regards, Aftab Ansari ... View more
