Hi Shawn: Question n° 1 can be solved using AST:AssetPeople forms which stores relationships between Assets and Companies, Organizations, Support Groups and People. Question n° 2 can be solved using Manage Bulk Updates options in Asset Management Console, which allows you to search CI's by Site and modify them in terms of a new site. Also you can do action given by question n° 2 using AST:Base Element form or BMC.CORE:BMC_BaseElement form.
HTH, Alejandro De: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] En nombre de Pierson, Shawn Enviado el: Miércoles, 08 de Febrero de 2012 12:24 Para: [email protected] Asunto: Two Asset Management Questions ** Good morning folks, I think I already know the answer to these questions, but I wanted to see if perhaps I was missing something because there is no good way to get this information out of Asset Management even though these are basic, common scenarios. For these examples, I'm using Asset Management 7.6.4 with a user that has Asset Admin rights. 1. From within Asset Management, how do you bring up a list of all CIs "Used By" an individual. This existed in 7.0.3 in the Asset management Console, but appears to not exist in 7.6.4. 2. From within Asset Management, how do you bring up a list of all CIs in a specific location, such as what you would need to update if you were moving someone from one office to another? As far as I know, there is no way to actually do either of these within Asset Management. I can solve #1 by going into the People record and pulling up the list of CIs, but that's extremely cumbersome when you are trying to work within Asset Management. For the second item, the only way an end user that doesn't have access to the BaseElement form to do that would be within BMC Analytics. I'm really hoping that I am wrong about these, although it does seem like BMC has basically given up on the concept of Asset Management to focus exclusively on the CMDB, but even then, how useful can the CMDB be if you can't do basic queries like these?
