On a slightly different topic, I just learnt a while ago that keeping the server in 'Admin Mode Only' as per the recommendation on the install guides causes the install of Asset Mngt to fail. I'm in the process of rerunning the install after taking the server off Admin mode only..

It would be really nice and helpful to have a definitions file of the vanilla module, or combination of modules, and being able to do an object comparison, for instance with the Migrator tool, or some other similar tool than can compare workflow. This is exactly what I did to "certify" a CMDB upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 patch 2, I believe, last year during a project: I had requested support the definitions files for a vanilla CMDB at the latest patched version at that time and support was very kind and helpful and provided me with the definitions file, and I used Migrator to compare the actual CMDB workflow. I did find a couple of filter actions that did not match exactly, even though the log files did not show any errors, neither the HTML file. Of course I could have installed a vanilla CMDB in another environment, and do the comparison there, but it was just easier and more formal to get the definitions from support to be able to prove to management that the CMDB upgrade was successful (after fixing the couple of filters that did not match). So to summarize, it would be really helpful if, specially for upgrades, there was an automagic method to compare the code (workflow) to make sure everything that should be there is there. Maybe a stripped down version of the migrator could be used for such purpose and be part of the install/upgrade process... Guillaume -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
