Will .exe get added to SCCM Software Last Used statement after reclamation rule created?

[Cairns]

Hi all,

We recently enabled SCCM data imports for both SAMP Usage and Software Last Used. We created a new reclamation rule for a product and ran the SAMP Usage job. The .exe for the product specified in the reclamation rule was successfully added to the SQL statement of the SAMP Usage job, and the corresponding records were added to the Software Usage table.

However, after running the Software Last Used job, we noticed that this new .exe was not included in its SQL statement.

Should the .exe associated with a new reclamation rule be automatically added to the SQL statement for the Software Last Used job, or does it need to be added manually?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Cairns ,

as you rightly described, the SQL statements are updated with the associated product processes / files for the software usage import.

The SCCM job "Software Last Used" has a condition by default that it is only executed on the 2nd day of the month. Could you please check if this is the case in your instance?

Best, Christian

Hi @christianseppDL ,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, in our instance, the Software Last Used job meets this condition. The SAMP Usage job behaves the same way.

To run both jobs, however, I commented out the line in the script that creates this condition. This allowed us to execute them as needed during testing. From reading another forum post, this was enough to enable both jobs—but am I missing something?
