Is there any table in the SCCM database that returns all applications located in a subfolder ?
This table returns all application and packages: "v_Package"
but i need to filter only applications and only the ones in a specific subfolder.
i also found the table "v_Applications" in my SQL server that returns only the applications but it is not present in the microsoft docs:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/develop/core/understand/sqlviews/application-management-views-configuration-manager
is that normal ?
Could someone point me in the right direction ?
Thank you very much
The best "trick" if you want to do something that is possible in the SCCM Console via SQL is to do it and then watch SMSProv.log on your siteserver which will tell you what SQL and WQL command was used to produce your result. That is always a good point towards the direction you should take.
In this case you will see that the query takes the applications info from a function call fn_ListApplicationCIs_List(1031) which features a Column ObjectPath that is your folder so a quick
select DisplayName, ObjectPath from fn_ListApplicationCIs_List(1031)
should probably give you what you want.
The real info if you wanna go deeper is as far as I understand it in a view called vFolderMembers (which weirdly only contains those that are not in root) but going from there you would have to join some internal IDs to get to a readable name.
To also answer your other question: Yes v_Applications is a normal table but it does not contain the object Path (which is only relevant within the context of the console and not deployment) and yes it is (sadly) normal that Microsofts documentation is not always the best and never really complete in regards to SCCM matters.
wow that's great.
what a relief. i've been struggling with that for a while .
thank you so much for your help. it works exacly as i need.

I'm working on a couple of million records, as soon as I try to run an advanced find, and put as a criteria a linked entity, the advanced find goes in timeout.
Create custom views on this allows me to filter properly? Anyone knows the proper way of using the advanced find this way? Are there limitations on the out of the box CRM that i should be aware of?
In CRM 2013 - it is possible to add indexes for specific fields by adding the columns to the quick find view for the entity.
You will need to wait for the Indexing Management Job to run (which is run every 24 hours by default) - see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/darrenliu/archive/2014/04/02/crm-2013-maintenance-jobs.aspx.
In previous version of CRM, it was necessary to add the indexes directly to the database - this may be necessary for more complex queries.
was too early to post an answer. The problem that I encountered was related to the OOB advanced find. Looking for example for an account with some related contacts (a really plain search with a linked entity) i had a SQL timeout. Everything was OOB so I was a little bit clueless and I opened a case to Microsoft. They found a bug, if i was changing the sorting the advanced find started to work again. They are still investigating. So wasn't a setting problem but a crm bug.
I am trying to get a list of the programs (RPG/CL/SQL) and files a service account on the iSeries has touched. The idea is that having this list we can tie specific permissions (I know this will really complicate things) to the user account in order to achieve a more secure application specific service account. Is there any way to do this and maybe get a report by running a command. Maybe there is a SQL statement?
Please excuse me if my terms are not appropriate, I am still new to the iSeries.

So though Charles' answer might be the one one should set up to get a thorough report. I wound up doing the following as suggested by one of my peers.
Please note that my goal though not properly explained as so, was to create an application specific user/service account for a program. This is to avoid using one with many privileges and thus gain some security.
1.Go through the source code (in my case classic ASP) and jot down all the names of the procedures used by that program.
2.Create a CL program that outputs the program references to a display file. Then export the file's contents onto Excel and massage where necessary.
PGM
DSPPGMREF PGM(MYLIB/PGM001) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(MYLIB/DSPPGMREF) OUTMBR(*FIRST *REPLACE)
DSPPGMREF PGM(MYLIB/PGM002) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(MYLIB/DSPPGMREF) OUTMBR(*FIRST *ADD)
ENDPGM
I was told however that service programs references cannot be displayed with DSPPGMREF. So the following was done for those.
PGM
ADDLIBLE LIB(ABSTRACT) POSITION(*LAST)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000)
WRKOBJR OBJ(SRVPGM01) OBJTYPE(*SRVPGM) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(MYLIB/WRKOBJR) MBROPT(*REPLACE)
WRKOBJR OBJ(SRVPGM02) OBJTYPE(*SRVPGM) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(MYLIB/WRKOBJR) MBROPT(*ADD)
WRKOBJR OBJ(SRVPGM03) OBJTYPE(*SRVPGM) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(MYLIB/WRKOBJR) MBROPT(*ADD)
ENDPGM
Thank you for all your help. I apologize that my answer is a little more specific than my question but in the end this was what I wanted to achieve, I had to generalize to ask the question. I'd thought i'd post post my answer anyways in case it helps someone in the future.
I'm trying to amend our content management system so it'll handle SQL database failures more gracefully. It's a bunch of ASMX pages, and a Helpers.vb file in which I've written a SQL connection tester function.
Each of the ASMX pages call the same function.
I need to create a variable I can check that's persistent and performant, otherwise I'm going to have fall back on something disasterously slow like reading a text file every time I set up a sql connection string.
I've tried using application caching, but either it doesn't work in the context of my helpers.vb file, or I've made a mess of the syntax. One problem that's already stymied some of the approaches I've found via google - I can't use 'Import System.Web.Caching' - IntelliSense doesn't show the 'Caching' part.
Has anyone got any example code that might get me up and running? Or an alternative approach?
#Mike,
Many thanks, now I'm using HttpRuntime.Cache correctly... it works!
Thanks everyone for taking the time to post :)
This may very well be a silly question, but I cannot find any documentation on this or where anyone has really asked this question except here NServiceBus Yahoo Groups. I want to rename my NServiceBus.Host.exe, even though they have different names in the services group when I install the service, in task management all the services are NServiceBus.Host.exe. I have tried renaming the exe, but of course this has issues with deployment, and it simply will not run as per the url I had posted, encountering an endpoint config error.
I've looked through the configuration options and I do not see anything that looks as such an option, if anyone knows a good way to do this, that would be great. Thanks!
That sounds like not a very good idea. That road is bound to be riddled with potholes.
In order to tell the processes apart in Task Manager, there's a pretty simple solution.
Go to View -> Select Columns, and add "Command Line" which is just a few up from the bottom.
This will show you the full path to the specific NServiceBus.Host.exe instance, along with the command line arguments, which can give you valuable information like the Profiles that were used.
Every week I access server logs processed by WebTrends (for about 7 profiles) and copy ad clickthrough and visitor information into Excel spreadsheets. A lot of it is just accessing certain sections and finding the right title and then copying the unique visitor information.
I tried using WebTrends' built-in query tool but that is really poorly done (only uses a drag-and-drop system instead of text-based) and it has a maximum number of parameters and maximum length of queries to query with. As far as I know, the tools in WebTrends are not suitable to my purpose of automating the entire web metrics gathering process.
I've gotten access to the raw server logs, but it seems redundant to parse that given that they are already being processed by WebTrends.
To me it seems very scriptable, but how would I go about doing that? Is screen-scraping an option?
I use ODBC for querying metrics and numbers out of webtrends. We even fill a scorecard with all key performance metrics..
Its in German, but maybe the idea helps you: http://www.web-scorecard.net/

Which version of WebTrends are you using? Unless this is a very old install, there should be options to schedule these reports to be emailed to you, and also to bookmark queries. Let me know which version it is and I can make some recommendations.
