ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5
Situation
We need a report
that will allow customers and NTS to get a full view of a license
and its associated discovered products and purchase data.
Resolution
Fixed in ZENWorks Asset Management Interim Release 5
Interim Releases can be scheduled to run automatically or can be downloaded manually athttps://download.novell.com. The Interim releases can be set up within the ZAM Manager for the Task server to check the site on a scheduled basis, and download and apply them automatically. Please refer to the Help Section for details of how to set up automatic downloads if desired.
Each interim
release is cumulative. If Interim Release 5 is not available
due to a newer interim release being placed on the website, be
assured that the code needed is in the later release.
Additional Information
On the
Software Management Tab, there is a new custom report Type called"Purchase/License/Inventory Infrastructure".
There is
also a new canned custom report called "License
Infrastructure.
The new
category allows you to create a custom report that includes
elements of the license and all associated entities (purchase recs,
catalog products,discovered products, and discovered product
demographics). The new category does not allow summary items (such
as license count).
The idea is
to provide a way to view the data you have created to manage
software compliance. This is not for compliance reporting - it is
for reviewing your infrastructure, and verifying that your have
organized things correctly. Workstation particulars have been
intentionally been left out of the view, because including them
would lead to a huge report. The canned report provided gives the
basic view relating licenses to other entities.
