GrahamWSH Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hi Guys, just wondering if it was possible to script an asset scan/upload in hornbill at all ? just trying to find a quicker/simplier way to get our assets uploaded and listed rather than having a manual entry, or having to do a mass upload every X period.. is it possible to do a script to scan an AD OU for anything "new" and interogate the WMI Data to fill in the required fields before upload into Hornbill ?

James Ainsworth Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hi @GrahamWSH Thanks for your post. We do have an Asset Import which is documented here. This allows for imports from other database sources or CSV files. It can also be scheduled to run as often as you like. This will add new assets and update existing. Let us know if this is what you are looking for. Regards, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamWSH Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thanks James. another idea i had was creating an Asset as part of a call.. We have a "New Server" request process in Hornbill which asks questions about a new server build, is it possible that the data entered could be used to build the server, so that a server is requested, and the asset is built at that stage ? obviously if the build request is denied we will need to delete the asset, but that can be part of the process ? is this possible ??

Another discussion on this top can be see here... This change is in our backlog and I'll update this post with any updates of progress Regards, James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Ainsworth Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 As of the Service Manager build 2126 we have added a number of new Hornbill Automations in the BPM for Assets. For a full list of automations, please see the documentation Hope this helps, Regards, James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
