6. How does the integration work
After importing the configuration item, it
may be used in Work Orders and
displayed in management Reports.
The accumulated
data by the OCS are
imported periodically
for a Supravizio
routine.
7. Processes for Configuration Management
During the import of hardware and software of the OCS
database Supravizio identifies events (new hardware, remove the
memory, etc.) and notifies the process engine. The process analyst can then
model a workflow for configuration management and handle these events.
New hardware
New software
New component
New component printer
New component network card
New component controller
New software installation
New software installation on blacklist
New memory
Removal of memory
Removal of component
Removal of monitor
Removal of controller
Removal of sound card
Uninstalling software...
Others
8. Processes for Configuration Management
In the picture below we can see a Work Order generated by the importer after
detecting a software installation on blacklist.
9. Inventory details
In the work order screen there is
a button that makes
the online query of the
OCS Inventory.
All data collected for the
station are presented in this
report including existing software
installations.
11. Pivot Tables
