This component is used to retrieve the status of an asset from the SMP using a complex data type (Asset) input.
The input for this component is on the Configuration tab. This value must be the "AltirisOutput7.Asset" data type. This input should be introduced upstream and can be created by using a mapping component, or by using a component such as the "Get Asset By Ids Component" or the "Get Resource for SMP" component configured to use the "Asset" resource type.
The output for this component is configured on the General tab.
The SMP connection information for this component is also configured on the General tab. By default, this component populates these 3 fields with the global SMP connection values. These default values must be initialized upstream with a "Create SMP Credentials" component if the global values are to be used.
"Method Can Return Null" determines whether this component may return a null value.

A technician portal has been created to allow a tech to change the status on an asset in the SMP. This component can be used to get the present status and allow the tech to review the current versus new status before submitting changes.
[Describe the use case. Insert screen shots or package files. Insert a description of how the settings are configured. Insert additional information about the use case that you are submitting.]
