Adding Asset Information
Chargeback Manager provides a handy way for you to keep track of your asset information for an
element. You can easily store warranty and licensing information, as well as contact information for
the element. For example, assume a switch on the network is having some problems, and you want
to contact the person in charge of that switch. You can use the element's asset record to not only find
the contact information for that switch, but also the location of that switch.
IMPORTANT: After you add information about all of your assets, back up the database. Backing
up the database saves your chargeback information. If the database fails, your asset information is
restored when you restore the database. See ” Performing an RMAN Hot Backup ” on page 204 for
more information.
You can view and add asset information by doing the following:
1. Access Chargeback Manager, as described in ” Accessing Chargeback Manager ” on
page 555.
2. Do one of the following:
• Click the icon corresponding to the element.
• Click the link for the element in the right pane.
3. To access the different types of asset information, click the Asset Record node or the nodes under
it. To view general information about an element, click the Asset Record node in the tree. To view
specific asset information such as ownership, click the Staff node.
You can also access the tree from Application Viewer and System Manager:
• To access the tree from Application Viewer, click the name of an application in the
Application Viewer tree. In the right pane, click the Asset Management tab.
• To access the tree from System Manager, double-click an element in the topology. In the right
pane, click the Asset Management tab.
