How to Configure a Configuration Manager Connector for an Extended SMS_def.mof File

 

Updated: May 13, 2016

Applies To: System Center 2012 SP1 - Service Manager, System Center 2012 R2 Service Manager, System Center 2012 - Service Manager

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 hardware inventory collects and then provides system information, such as available disk space, processor type, and operating system, about each computer in the Configuration Manager 2007 hierarchy. In Configuration Manager 2007, users can customize the default Configuration Manager 2007 SMS_def.mof file to extend the hardware inventory information that is collected.

When you create a Configuration Manager connector in Service Manager, you can select the default System Center Configuration Manager Connector Configuration management pack that must be used for that connector. By using the default management pack, the connector imports hardware, software, and desired configuration management information for the computers that are in the system.

If the Configuration Manager 2007 SMS_def.mof file has been extended to collect additional hardware inventory data, which you also want to import into Service Manager, you must create a new custom management pack that defines that additional data. Then, you have to create a new Configuration Manager connector and configure it to use the new custom management pack.

Importing Extended Hardware Inventory Data from Configuration Manager

To import extended hardware inventory data from Configuration Manager 2007, you must author a custom Configuration Manager 2007 connector management pack. There are two approaches to implementing a custom Configuration Manager connector:

  • Create a custom Configuration Manager connector management pack that defines the extended data that you want to import and then create two connectors. Configure one connector to use the default System Center Configuration Manager Connector Configuration management pack to import the data that is defined by default. Configure the second connector to use the custom management pack to import the additional extended data.

  • Customize the default System Center Configuration Manager Connector Configuration management pack to also include the additional extended data. Create a single connector that is configured to use the custom management pack to import all the information that you must have.

This topic provides the information that you must have to implement the first approach that is described earlier. It provides the details that you must have so that you can develop a custom Configuration Manager connector management pack that imports the extended hardware inventory from Configuration Manager 2007.

The high-level steps to importing extended hardware inventory data are as follows:

  1. Create a custom Configuration Manager Connector Configuration management pack with the definitions for the extended data.

  2. Import the custom management pack into Service Manager. After you import the management pack, Service Manager processes the directives in the management pack to create staging tables and to run any install Structured Query Language (SQL) scripts, as defined in the management pack.

  3. Create a Configuration Manager connector and configure it to use the custom management pack.

  4. The Configuration Manager connector imports the data.

Working with a Custom Configurations Manager Connector Management Pack

Consider the following tips when you are working with a custom Configurations Manager Connector management pack:

  • Semantic errors in the connector configuration templates in the management pack do not prevent the management pack from being imported, and they are logged to the event log. In this case, you must delete the management pack, correct the errors, and reimport the management pack.

  • After creating a Configuration Manager connector, you cannot modify its management pack selection. Instead, you must delete that connector and then create a new one with the desired management pack selection.

  • To ensure a successful deletion of a management pack, you must delete any connectors that are configured to use the management pack that you want to delete and then delete the management pack.

    When you delete a custom Configurations Manager Connector management pack, Service Manager tries to delete all related staging tables that were created during the management pack import. Then, Service Manager runs any scripts that are defined in the Uninstall section of the management pack.

  • Unlike other management packs, the custom Configuration Manager 2007 Connector management pack cannot be versioned. Importing a later version of the management pack will succeed. However, the connector configuration in the management pack will be ignored, or it might cause validation errors that are logged to the event log.

Creating a Custom Configuration Manager Connector Configuration Management Pack

A custom Configuration Manager Connector Configuration management pack is similar in structure to the default Configuration Manager Connector management pack. It must contain the two object templates DataProvider and DataConsumer that specify how the data should be imported and applied.

DataProvider Section

The DataProvider section provides information, such as which data to import, that you must have when you are importing data from Configuration Manager 2007 into the staging tables of LinkingFramework. The DataProvider section includes the queries that run on the Configuration Manager 2007 site database; directives for staging table creation; custom SQL scripts; and information that is relevant for incremental synchronization, such as watermarking and batching.

DataConsumer Section

The DataConsumer section provides information about reading the data from staging tables and writing it to the ServiceManager database’s instances space, such as Entities or Relationships. The DataConsumer section includes queries that run on the staging tables; mapping to the Service Manager type system; custom SQL scripts; and information that is relevant for incremental synchronization, such as watermarking and batching.

Structure of the DataProvider and DataConsumer Object Templates Sections

Basically, the DataProvider and the DataConsumer are object templates that are targeted to a projection type. The following code shows the general structure of the DataProvider and the DataConsumer sections:

<TypeProjection ID="System.LinkingFramework.DataConnector.Projection" Accessibility="Public" Type="System.LinkingFramework.DataConnector">  
          <Component Alias="DataTable" Path="$Context/Path[Relationship='System.LinkingFramework.ConnectorEmbedsTables' TypeConstraint='System.LinkingFramework.DataTable']$">  
            <Component Alias="Field" Path="$Context/Path[Relationship='System.LinkingFramework.TableEmbedsFields']$" />  
          </Component>  
          <Component Alias="DataCollection" Path="$Context/Path[Relationship='System.LinkingFramework.ConnectorEmbedsCollections' TypeConstraint='System.LinkingFramework.DataCollection']$" />  
 </TypeProjection>

In this code, DataTable, Field, and DataCollection are defined as follows:

  • DataTable. The smallest data unit that is defined for data transfer. It is a declaration of what data to retrieve from the external data source. It also defines dependencies between different data tables and when data batching, watermarking, and grooming have finished.

  • Field. A single column in a data table.

  • DataCollection. A set of data tables to be transferred in one data transfer job or session. It defines which data tables are included in this data collection.

Properties in the Custom Management Pack

The following table provides the details about each property in the custom Configuration Manager Connector Configuration management pack. Use these guidelines when you create the custom management pack.

Property Expected value Validation after import
ID For both DataProvider and DataConsumer templates—as indicated in the sample Yes
DataConnector Properties
DataConnectorName For both DataProvider and DataConsumer templates—identical to the values in the sample Yes
IsProvider In DataProvider template—True

In DataConsumer template—False		 Yes
SolutionName A comment. For example, it can indicate the type of the imported data. An attempt to import a management pack in which the solution name is already being used; it causes an error that is logged to the event log.
Entrypoint, EntryAssembly & WinformUIAssembly Identical to the value in the sample
InstallSQLScripts section SQL scripts that must run after the staging tables are set up. They are usually used in the DataConsumer template to configure views that display data from the staging tables.

Everything that is enclosed between the <Script></Script> tags is expected to be valid SQL script. Therefore, for comments, you must use the ‘/*’ and the ‘*/’ multi-line comment delimiters instead of the standard XML comment tags.		 Not validated. Use custom table names to ensure that this does not cause overwriting or changing any tables except the ones that are declared in the management pack.
UnInstallSQLScripts section SQL scripts that must run after you delete the Configuration Manager Connector management pack in the Service Manager console.

Everything that is enclosed between the <Script></Script> tags is expected to be valid SQL script. Therefore, for comments, you must use the ‘/*’ and the ‘*/’ multi-line comment delimiters instead of the standard XML comment tags.		 Not validated. Use custom table names to ensure that this does not cause overwriting or changing any tables except the tables that are declared in the management pack.
DisableParallelProcessing True
DataTable Properties
DataName The table from which to import data. It is used in the user interface (UI) and not used in queries.
StageTableName The name of the staging table. It must be unique. An attempt to import a management pack, in which the table name is already being used, causes an error to be logged to the event log.
WatermarkField The name of the rowversion column
WatermarkType Possible values are:

- 0—Indicates DateTime type
- 1—Indicates the Timestamp type
- (-1)—Indicates no watermarking, in which case WatermarkField becomes optional		 Other types of watermarking are not supported.
BatchIdField The name of the column that has good selectivity; used to separate incremental data into batches when importing to staging tables
BatchIdType Possible values are:

- 0—Int
- (-1)—No batching, in which case BatchIdField becomes optional		 Integer column
BatchIdSize The size of the batch, if batching is used. A high number indicates that much data is being read or written at the same time. The recommended value is 500. Integer column
UseCache True
GroomType Possible values are:

- 1—The data in staging tables can be groomed after it is transferred to the Service Manager database.
- 2—The data in staging tables is groomed only after it is marked as deleted in the Configuration Manager database and has also been deleted in the Service Manager database because of the Service Manager connector synchronization.
QueryString The actual query that Configuration Manager 2007 uses to retrieve the requested data. The query must be of the form:

 SELECT …

 FROM …

 WHERE …

 ORDER BY …

The WHERE clause can contain the “$COLLECTIONLIST” token. During synchronization, this token is replaced by the collections that are specified in the System Center Configuration Manager Connector Wizard.

The data that is exposed by Configuration Manager 2007 SCCM_Ext.* views is supported for import. This data can be extended by using standard sms_def.mof extensions or by using noidmifs. Other tables are not supported.

Notably, subqueries are not supported, but joins to other tables are supported.		 Not validated. All queries have an Lfx_Status column with value “U” or “D,” indicating whether the row represents an Update or a Delete operation.
CollectionName A name for a group of data tables; this name must be unique. Tables in the same collection cannot depend on each other. An attempt to import a management pack, in which the collection name is already being used, causes an error to be logged to the event log.
PrimaryKeyName A section that declares the unique primary key name for the staging table. An attempt to import a management pack, in which the key name is already being used, causes an error to be logged to the event log.
DependOnDataTable The name or names of DataTable that must be synchronized first before this one. Typically, this is used to synchronize the staging table before the system reads it in the Consumer view.

If you are using multiple collections, dependency should be expressed only between tables in different collections.		 Not validated
DataField Properties
Name, Type, AllowNull These are required fields for any column type. Supported types are int, nvarchar, datetime and xml. Not validated
PrimaryKeyACs, PrimaryKeyPosition If part of primary key, indicates the position from the left in the primary key. Lfx adds two internal use columns (Lfx_Status, Lfx_SourceId) to the PK at the end.
Collation DATABASE_DEFAULT Not validated
DataCollection Properties
DataCollectionName Must be identical to what is referenced by a DataTable property An attempt to import a management pack, in which the collection name is already being used, causes an error to be logged to the event log.
StagingName In DataProvider template—DefaultCache

In DataConsumer template—Not present		 Not validated
DataTables Comma-separated value (CSV) list of tables referencing this collection
Settings In DataProvider template—Not present

In DataConsumer template—Indicates type mapping		 Escaped XML with following syntax:

 <TypeName>Microsoft.Windows.Computer</TypeName>

 <MPName>Microsoft.Windows.Library</MPName>

 <MPVersion>version of MP</MPVersion>

 <MPToken>token for MP</MPToken>

Sample of Custom Configuration Manager Connector Configuration Management Packs

The following are schema definitions and Configuration Manager Connector management pack samples that import data from the Configuration Manager 2007 SCCM_Ext.vex_GS_PC_BIOS view.

Refer to the table earlier in this topic for more information about the properties of these management packs. Use an XML editor, such as the editor in Microsoft Visual Studio, to modify these samples to fit your import scenarios.

Importing Data from a Hosted Class

When you are specifying a class that is hosted, the view in the DataConsumer template should include columns for the key property of the parent class. In this sample, the class that contains the BIOS information is hosted under a computer.

In this example, the Configuration Manager Connector Configuration management pack has two collections in the DataProvider and in the DataConsumer sections, one for importing the computers data and the second to import the BIOS data.
