SERVER

New modules

• Snmp.pm : is used for SNMP integration in OCS Inventory NG. This module comes with Snmp/Data.pm and Snmp/Inventory.pm.
• Useragent.pm : is used to control agents and their versions to solve versions incompatibilty problems between OCS agents and OCS server.
• Datafiler.pm : This module add availibity to filter data from HARDWARE section (data filtered won't be stored in database)

Improvements and changes

setup.sh

• can now install missing perl modules for you using yum or apt-get (Philippe Beaumont)

Map.pm

• new parameter for tables in Map.pm: mandatory. This parameter force database feeding even if inventory section is not in XML
• use the new "capacities" Map.pm parameter to don't take care of tables that have this parameter when feeding %SECTIONS and @SECTIONS (with OCS agents)
• control if inventory section is in XML before writing it in database to avoid bugs.

Data.pm

• debug and enhance to use the availability to explode database structure using type tables
• correct a misprint about the use of 'OCS_OPT_UNICODE_SUPPORT' in Data.pm (from sisfb_tech)

Config.pm

• add a new configuration option for activate/deactivate SNMP feature

Database

• add new tables for SNMP
• add new fields in softwares table: GUID, LANGUAGE, LASTDATE and BITSWIDTH

Divers
