Inventory Pack for Servers version 7.0 expands the limited information that was captured in version 6.1. This add-on for Inventory Solution now provides a more robust set of data points targeting Server-related applications. As such the data class structure has grown exponentially. This is Part 1 of a 3 part article series detailing the data classes for Inventory Pack for Servers 7.0, providing administrators the knowledge they need to report on the newly expanded data set provided by this Solution.
Introduction
Documenting database schema is not an easy task. SQL can provide a table-column view of all selected tables, but this does not account for any interdependencies between tables in a normalized environment. In 7.0 for Inventory Pack for Servers, Normalization includes dependencies on base-class tables, or, in other words, subsequent tables are extensions of the base table. Association tables are also in use.
NOTE: The information in this document may change, though at the time of publication this is believed to be the accurate information for the release of Inventory Solution 7.0.
Database Schema
The following list reveals data classes and their structure. First, the name of the table is given, followed by a designation as a Base or Sub Class data class. The following label system is used:
- BASE Class - This is a data class that has no dependencies on other Inventory data classes
- SUB Class - This is a data class that has 1 dependency on a BASE data class
- STANDARD Class - This is a data class that contains no dependencies or sub classes
- ASSOCIATION Class - This data class associates two other data classes' rows together (not dependencies)
Note the following when reviewing the grids:
- Display Name represents how the column will be labeled when working within the Symantec Management Console, including reports, Resource Manager details, Pickers, etc.
- Not all values have descriptions, but the label of the table and column should provide data on what's stored therein.
- When a BASE Class is listed, all subsequent SUB classes are tied to that BASE Class, sequentially, below.
- Qualifiers per Column/Value are provided based on applicability.
For help in navigating dependent data classes, use the following guide:
