Thanks, Michiel and James and Roger, I did a mass update on BMC:BMC_ComputerSystem and set DatasetID to “BMC.ASSET.” Now they show up in AST:ComputerSystem.
I am trying not to be a “Lazy poster.” I searched the Asset Management pdf document for “DatasetID” and didn’t find anything. I’ve also taken the “Asset Management Administering” class and can’t find anything about “DatasetID” in the course manual. (I may not have looked in the right place.) How did you guys learn all this?
