  • 1.  After SP2 update the software console don't show the computers associates to a software resource

    Posted Dec 23, 2011 09:33 AM

    After SP2 update the software console doesn't show the computers associates to a software resource. Everytime that I select a software resource, in Altiris Log Viewer I see this message:

    Process: w3wp (1784)
    Thread ID: 669

    Hello, we have migrated to two of our customers and associates to work properly with the resource software .. We're just having problems with pcAnywhere and we have an open case with Symantec.

    I don't know why. Previously I have upgraded my development environement and I hadn't problems. It seems that the database was corrupted. The error message talk about a colum that is missing 'FileResourceGuid'

    I have opened a ticket with support and I'm waiting for a response...

    I have looked into database and I've found the stored procedure "spAC_GetComputerBySoftwareProduct" and "spAC_GetComputersBySoftwareComponent" that return the same error that I see in Altiris Log Viewer:

    Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spAC_GetComputersBySoftwareProduct, Line 40
    Invalid column name 'FileResourceGuid'.
    The statement has been terminated.

    I have compared this stored procedure with the same that I have in my development environment and I have see that aren't equals.

    For example this is the SP that not work:

    USE [Symantec_CMDB]
    GO
    /****** Object:  StoredProcedure [dbo].[spAC_GetComputersBySoftwareProduct]    Script Date: 12/27/2011 15:28:25 ******/
    SET ANSI_NULLS ON
    GO
    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
    GO
    ALTER Procedure [dbo].[spAC_GetComputersBySoftwareProduct]             
              (             
                 @SoftwareComponentGuids varchar(max),
                 @ComputerName nvarchar(250),
                 @SelectTop bit,                 
                 @Trustee varchar(max)        
              )             
                As             
                Set NoCount On 
                                   
                If Exists (SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'Inv_Software_Execution') --make sure inventory is installed     
                Begin    
                                       
                  if(@SelectTop = 1)
                    Begin
                      SELECT TOP 500 vc.[Guid] AS [ResourceGuid] 
                           , vc.[Name] 
                           , vc.[OS Name] 
                           , ISNULL(usage.RunCount,0) AS UsedCount 
                           , '' As DeliveryStatus 
                           , prod.Guid As SoftwareComponentGuid 
                           , prod.[Name] As SoftwareName 
                           , usage.LastStart 
                           , usage.InstallDate            
                      FROM [fnAC_SWProductUsed](@SoftwareComponentGuids) usage
                      JOIN vRM_Software_Product_Item prod 
                         ON prod.Guid = usage.SoftwareProductGuid
                      JOIN vComputer vc
                         ON vc.Guid = usage._ResourceGuid
                      WHERE vc.Guid IN (Select ResourceGuid From [fnGetTrusteeScopedResources](@Trustee))
                        AND vc.IsManaged = 1
                        AND (@ComputerName = '%%' OR LOWER(vc.Name) LIKE @ComputerName)
                        ORDER BY vc.Name ASC 
                    End
                  Else
                    Begin
                      SELECT  vc.[Guid] AS [ResourceGuid] 
                         , vc.[Name] 
                         , vc.[OS Name]
                         , ISNULL(usage.RunCount,0) AS UsedCount 
                         , '' As DeliveryStatus 
                         , prod.Guid As SoftwareComponentGuid 
                         , prod.[Name] As SoftwareName 
                         , usage.LastStart 
                         , usage.InstallDate            
                        FROM [fnAC_SWProductUsed](@SoftwareComponentGuids) usage
                        JOIN vRM_Software_Product_Item prod 
                           ON prod.Guid = usage.SoftwareProductGuid
                        JOIN vComputer vc
                         ON vc.Guid = usage._ResourceGuid
                        WHERE vc.Guid IN (Select ResourceGuid From [fnGetTrusteeScopedResources](@Trustee))
                          AND vc.IsManaged = 1
                          AND (@ComputerName = '%%' OR LOWER(vc.Name) LIKE @ComputerName)
                          ORDER BY vc.Name ASC 
                    End
               End

     

    and this is the SP that work:

    SE [Symantec_CMDB]
    GO
    /****** Object:  StoredProcedure [dbo].[spAC_GetComputersBySoftwareProduct]    Script Date: 12/27/2011 15:10:01 ******/
    SET ANSI_NULLS ON
    GO
    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
    GO

        @SelectTop bit,                 
                 @Trustee varchar(max)        
              )             
                As             
                Set NoCount On

                         ON prod.Guid = usage.SoftwareProductGuid
                      JOIN vRM_Computer_Item vc
                         ON vc.Guid = usage._ResourceGuid

                   End
                 Else
                   Begin
                   SELECT  vc.[Guid] AS [ResourceGuid] 
                         , vc.[Name] 
                         , ident.[OS Name]

                          AND LOWER(vc.Name) LIKE @ComputerName
                          ORDER BY vc.Name ASC 
                   End
                End

    I don't understand why are different.... and now my dubt is: are these the only differents?

    With a tool I have compared the CMDB in production environment with the one in my development environment and I have seen that were some differences.

    With the support we have seen that for inexplicable reason the SP2 is not correctly applied on all my product. We have re-applied the SP2 for the products not upgraded and now the issue is gone.
