  • 1.  Report to show software and the last time is was used

    Posted May 29, 2012 12:16 PM

    My manager has asked me to create a report that he can run with settings for the start and end dates.  It needs to show the Software Manufacture, the Product name, Product Version, Machine Name and last accessed date.

    Can someone help me with this?

     

    Thanks

    What dates are you talking about for start date and end date -- do you mean InstallDate for the software?  What is the last accessed date -- when the software was last accessed?  This is not gathered by Altiris inventory and would need to be custom.  Or, to do this properly, you would use Application Metering to get start and stop events for licensed software so that you could combine this data with license information in asset management suite to do license harvesting.

    Without this date parameter (what date?) I am assuming you have a report like

     

    SELECT vc.Name,arp.Publisher,arp.DisplayName,arp.DisplayVersion,arp.InstallDate
    FROM vComputer vc
    JOIN Inv_AddRemoveProgram arp ON arp._ResourceGuid=vc.[Guid]

    Thanks for the reply Mike..  He wanted to be able to see what computers are using the applications by a date range.. say 1/1/2012 - 5/29/2012..  

    So here's a couple of my assumptions.. 1. They have to be metered and 2. Right now the metering is set to 90 days so I can only assume that it will only have the last 90 days.  That report worked well but instead of the install date I need a count of the times accessed in that time frame.

    Is your report based on vAMMonthlySummary?  This view includes run time and run count.

    Hi

    I am also looking for  this kind of report where the filed are to be like

    Application Name

    Version

    Installed Date

    Last used date

    Percentage user etc.

    We have enabled application metering policy to meter some application in our environment and are able to check the above mentioned fields in "Manage-Software-Usage Tracking" screen only. But i wish to get those fields in the form of a report. Is there any default report exists? Can i get an idea how can i get this report.

    Thanks for a quick response.
