EVERYTHING... and I mean everything, I don't know of anything that could be
asked that I would not have. Circuit to the panel and what servers, etc are
connect to it, I got it. Warranty dates, I got it. Program managers,
contacts, support desk for said programs, I got it. Which switch is tied to
the main switch, and what device is on what port and on and on and on and
on.

I really wish Ipswitch would look into an asset management database and
linking it into WUG. Just a basic starter database package for those who can
not do it for themselves. After all the information in every map is great
but you really need the above information at your finger tips daily to do
your job. I on the other hand have been mulling over this for about three
years and most likely will migrate this onto my Cluster in SQL since that is
how I run WUG. Of course there will be a lot of rework to make it look and
feel better.

Yes I even have images.... the mdb is linked to Visio or should I say Visio
is linked to the mdb. I wish I could make more of it dynamic.

It is very much worth the effort.

Oh!, did I mention you can click on a server and bingo, a detailed load doc
right to the printer... Want to know where the analog lines are on a given
floor, I got it. Fax machines, network printers, I got it. Need it in Visio,
I got it..

So what kind of data do you have in this other database?

Yep, you know with over 125+ offices and 750+ servers you kind of lose the
easier things....
I've already got it secured under IS_MAP_CONFIGURE_MAP so I am happy now.

-Not to mention switches, routers, etc, etc, etc....

Thanks

The only way to do that is to take it out of the info field and edit your
devicedetails.asp file.  You can't put WUG variables in a WUG field and have
them be resolved.  If you edit you wug asp file you can have it display a
link such as...

<a href="http://DBServer/QueryPage.asp?device=<%DEVICE% HOSTNAME>">Your
External Database</a>

You could edit the device= to be what ever you wanted to use as your id.  It
could be the IP or the device name.  You will have to learn a little about
the WUG asp tags.

I have an HTML link that I place in the info 1: field. The said link is to
an ASP page that links to an Access MDB (could be SQL). Info in that MDB is
everything and anything about equipment in my data center. What it gives me
is just the information on the device I am on. (STATIC per device). What I
am looking for is a way to pass the WUG Device (hostname) info into the HTML
so I can write one generic HTML link for all items. (maybe I am looking at a
script to be in the Info 1: field who knows.

Any ideas??

Thanks
Tony
