Hello   We have the default import of users from AD running. This is importing a thin (account name, full name) view of user data.  We created a second business adapter to enrich the user data with first name, last name, locations, cost centers, corporate units etc... I am seeing the User full name flip back and forth between this two updates. AD updates user to <First Name> <Last Name> <LDAPID>. Our HR import is not setting Full Name at all but we are setting First/Last name which seems to trigger an update to Full Name.   Question -> how can I stop the HR update from updating Full Name of user? Or should I be augmenting the AD pull in place of creating a new adapter? History for the users is getting an update twice a day now which is not great. ... View more

Hi All,   Has anyone deployed agents to compute resources in GCP? If so, do your agents report back to an on prem beacon or internet facing or x? GCP Cloud Asset Inventory beta is starting to collect information regarding the OS and installed packages. With this data, is it necessary to have agents deployed to cloud targets for simple use cases? Has any looked at an adapter to leverage GCP inventory data over installing agents?   Thanks ...

Hi All,   We have a handful of middleware products for linux servers that are hosted on NFS mounts. A devops team mounts a shared drive with a handful of binaries available. The local server has application start up scripts and local configurations that leverage the remote binaries.   FNMS by default will not scan NFS mounts. I think this is great as this could lead to huge issues with storage performance.  How have other companies tackled the issue of software on NFS mounts?  One thought I had is to leverage our dependency discovery tool as a data source for specific products. This would require a custom Inventory Adapter but has potential. ... View more

Hi All,   I am working on a business adapter to import device assets with life cycle updates from an internal workstation inventory tool.  One requirement is to set the device location to that of the user assigned. I can match user in the business adapter without an issue. I do not know how to capture the matched User's locationid and assign to the target device asset.  I tried using custom query with no luck.  Any one have any suggestions on how to make this happen within the business adapter? I am finding the business adapters really limiting compared to other ETL tools.   ... View more

Hi All, I am working on importing organizational units from our HR system. It is possible for Organizational Units to move within the tree as we go through re-organizations.    Is it possible to import organizational units without providing the full path but still relate to a parent organizational unit? ...

Hi All,   We've created a fairly simple business adapter to create Organizational Unit structure. Currently using 2019 R2.   The import is creating each organizational name at the root level instead of creating the parent-child relationship.    In the business adapter,  Import Rules for Corporate Unit are all checked. Update Rule is reject all duplicates. The match is on "Name". Name is formatted as "parent/child1/child2".  "Split values on" is set to "/".  Read order is "forward".    Name is the only field mapped. I am expecting the internal logic to create the tree and link items together.  Is there something I am missing? ... View more
