  • 1.  change asset status with ASDK 8.x

    Posted Feb 21, 2017 10:08 AM

    Hello,

    I need to change asset status for example from 'Active' to 'Retired' using ASDK webservices. I looked over the ASDK help. The ItemManagement or Resource Management does not seem to offer any suitable methods.

    In ASDK 7.x we could use 

    Class: Altiris7.ResourceComponents.SetStatusForAssetComponent

    Library: Symantec.Components.Generated7.Altiris.Resource.dll

    Have you seen:

    https://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/change-asset-status-asdk-7x

    You could use Workflow to update the Status.

     

    How does a computer's Status work?

    Settings | Notification Server | Resource and Data Class Settings | Resource Associations | Asset’s Status

    You could use a combination of checking if it has a status, as it doesn't when first created, even though it shows a "Active"

    Then if it does break the association

    http://localhost/altiris/nswebservice/resourcemodel.asmx?op=BreakAssociation

    Finally create one

    http://localhost/altiris/asdk.ns/ResourceManagementService.asmx?op=CreateResourceAssociation

     

    How are you planning on calling the WS?

    We planning to use the adk.dll / webservice to set asset status for "retrired" computers via powershell.

    You'd just need to get the Guid of Asset Status and the Resource Association Guid for Asset Status and use those two methods

    Got it working, many thanks!

    But is it possible to set the "DisposalDate", "DisposalReason",etc ,too?

    Data classes for Asset Management Suite
    https://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/data-classes-asset-management-suite

    Accounting Information

    • Disposal Date
    • Disposal Reason

    [Settings | Notification Server | Resource and Data Class Settings | Data Classes | Financial Data Classes | Accounting Information]

    There are a couple of Articles that maybe of use in pointing you in a direction

    Workflow - SMP - ASDK - Asset Ownership
    https://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/workflow-smp-asdk-asset-ownership
     
    How to change CMDB asset owner in a Workflow project?
    https://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/how-change-cmdb-asset-owner-workflow-project

    SMP 8.0 HF1 added SaveDataClassLight / SaveDataClassRowsLight

    You could just build a WF to achieve this, pass in the inputs you need like Date and Reason and map them to the Resource you are Disposing.
