Description
Adds a persistent CustomInventory row to the database, meaning that the data will not be flushed out the next time that the CustomInventory package is run.
Please note
Please note, that this is an expensive call, seen from the Frontend/database perspective. Calling this function repeatedly from a package could result in overall slower performance. This function should be used with care.
Syntax
CMS_AddCustomInventory(category, entry, value, valuetype)
Parameters
category (String)
Category name
entry (String)
variable name
value (string)
value (string)
If you are inserting a Time (valuetype: "T") it must be set in epoch-time, meaning seconds since January 1. 1970. The scripting library has a function called GetEpochTime, which will convert a date to seconds from 1-1-1970.
If you want to use 'now' as the value, you can either insert;
- an empty string ("")
- or the value ("0")
valuetype (string)
The type of the value
Valid valuetypes are;
- "S" for string
- "I" for integer
- "T" for time
Example
If bStatus Then bStatus = CMS_AddCustomInventory("Customer Inventory", "Install time packages", "112", "I")
If bStatus Then bStatus = CMS_AddCustomInventory("Bitlocker", "TPM Chip - Enabled", "True", "S")
If bStatus Then bStatus = CMS_AddCustomInventory("Bitlocker", "TPM Chip - Manufactured", "1694973146", "T")
