December 2011 discussion details
SQL/Reports to find corrupt tuners • Craig/CSC: • Machines with no inf svc version reporting in, shown below in RC:
• No versions = potentially corrupt • Do not forget you may not be getting inventory at all from corrupt tuners. • Do not forget you may have more than 1 infra svc URL due to ports/etc
• Also see query listed on BMCDN

ISM RFE’s: Devendra will check rfe status • Blacklist certain Infra Items – Ignore Test/Personal TX’s/CMS/etc • Clear the history in ISM - ISM Schema manage
