This article provides data on all hidden items within the Symantec Management Platform and Solutions. It can be used as a reference when you are looking for items that are hidden from the Symantec Management Console. Typically hidden items are purposefully hidden, but I have found many instances where finding hidden items is useful both as a troubleshooting need, and when a sub-query, report, or other hidden items (such as Software Portal items) need to be found. Note that it is not recommended to simple go in and edit these without understanding how they are used.
This section covers Products Activity Center to Altiris Console Language Pack (alphabetically)
Use the following guide when utilizing this article:
NOTE: The table contents are attached in the PDF
This screenshot shows what the table looks like:
Symantec Endpoint Management Hidden Items - Part 2: Altiris Deployment Solution 7.6 to Altiris Reporting Symantec Endpoint Management Hidden Items - Part 3: Altiris Resource Management to Discovery Tasks Symantec Endpoint Management Hidden Items - Part 4: Event Console to Monitor Solution 7.6 Symantec Endpoint Management Hidden Items - Part 5: Notification Server to Workflow Language Pack
Thank you Joel! These are great to have listed.
To add to this... here is a way to view the hidden items without the SQL changes - but only on a temporary basis.
First, go to All Reports.
Then select any normal report and right click. Select Open in New Window from the right click menu.
The report will open in a new window, with a URL similar to this:
http://YOURSERVER/Altiris/console/?mainUrl=%2faltiris%2fconsole%2fItemPage.aspx%3fItemGuid%3d036ec039-e523-4667-aa5b-3ed85bb80100
Now use one of Joel's PDF documents and COPY the GUID from his chart for the hidden item you want to open. Let's way you want to open the "Contracts expiring in the next 90 days datasource" item. You would copy the GUID: 1FFC4F35-58F0-4A50-B83A-563925FBC3C3
Now alter your URL for the report, keeping everything up to ItemGuid%3d but replacing the GUID at the end with the copied GUID from the PDF:
http://YOURSERVER/Altiris/console/?mainUrl=%2faltiris%2fconsole%2fItemPage.aspx%3fItemGuid%3d1FFC4F35-58F0-4A50-B83A-563925FBC3C3
Refresh the page and you can view the item as needed. Remember this is NOT permenant, but you can always create a shortcut if you wish.
Great article Joel!
