In PDI v7.x (and possibly in IDD v6 as well - I don't recall), you can work around the issue if you do a little bit of work. First load all of your scan files into AW - hardware-only is just fine, so it should be super-fast, particularly if you load .FSF files. Then do an export of the...

The Listener is shared with Desktop Administration and is indeed shipped as part of Network Discovery v5.1 and later in order to schedule distribution of PDI scanners. When used with PDI, PND can take over the role of scan schedule administrator and can also consolidate the data discovered by...

Saving in xml.gz format is no problem, whether the scanner is distributed using DA or other means. Note however that loading and processing of FSF files is faster and it is normally recommended that you use the FSF format. Once the scan file has been processed by the XML Enricher, it will be...

Hi, In PDI v7, the step where the application data is added to the scan file is now called XML Enrichment - it performs application recognition and stores an updated scan file in XML format. The tool to do this is the XML Enricher, which runs as a Windows service. Simply start the Enricher...

Hi Sladan, Is the system an English system? Configuring the scanner to save FSF files instead of xml.gz will almost certainly solve the problem. You can still get xml.gz files from the XML Enricher - and these should be encoded correctly. The mechanism used in the UNIX scanners of PDI 7.1.1...

I am involved with developing this software; if you have a specific question, I'll be happy to provide you with an answer. Which version of PDI are you using? Allan Mertner

You can define the Asset Number field as a File Extract field. This allows you to specify any file in the system as the source of the asset number. Other options include using an environment variable, a registry key, pointing to the BIOS' asset tag (usually stored in SMBIOS), etc. I hope this...

I can help you with one of the items at least: In the new v7.0 of Desktop Inventory (replacing IDD), the scanners automatically detect monitor characteristics, including serial numbers - as well as a long list of other new hardware fields. Allan
