Description: Adding custom data forms that are scanning in or custom data being pulled from clients registry through the LDAppl3 are blocked from being added to the database.
Cause: This is caused by a feature that is added to version 9.0 designed to protect the inventory tree in the database. You can allow custom data to be entered into the database.
Resolution: The attached Document shows when and how to use the Unknown Inventory section of the Inventory service for LDMS 9. Here are some quick steps to allow the data.
*NOTE* If this document does not resolve your issue please follow the steps in Custom Data Registry Scan Not Working: How To Pull Registry Information Using The Manage Software List to confirm your custom data is set up correctly.
On the Core Server
1) Open the 32 bit console
2) Go to Configure | Services
3) Click on the Inventory tab
4) Click on the button labeled Unknown Items
5) Select an item on the list and click Allow
NOTE: Please do not disable blocking unknown inventory items. This feature is very important to protecting the inventory tree from corruption. Allowing the unknown item allows it for all computers. This is not something that is has to be done when each computer scans in.
