Figure 64. Schedule SW Inventory
You can also use other functions such as Software Inventory or File Transfer
service. You always have to define the event name, service and frequency.
Depending on the defined service you may have to give more details. See
Figure 64 for a software inventory example. With software inventory you can
create outputs that do the following:
•
Export to a database.
•
Generate system reports that show a complete software inventory sorted by
systems.
•
Generate summary reports by product name, which gives you a file that
includes all installed software sorted by the name of the product. This
means that you only get information about each product such as product
name, manufacturer, version and number of licenses installed.
•
Generate summary reports by product version, which gives you a file that
includes all installed software sorted by the version of the product, which
means, that you only get information about each product such as product
name, manufacturer, version and number of licenses installed.
•
Generate summary reports by product revision, which is the same report as
mentioned above only it is sorted by the revision level of the products.
•
Update NetView DM inventory database (self-explanatory).
