Non-Duplicate Serial Number

[Daniel Ferrari]

Hi..!! I need to prevent the serial number for a CI (like PC/Laptop) to be duplicated and can not find where to configure this feature.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks, Daniel

Hi,

There is still no parameter for this. It requires the development of a DoCheckToWrite procedure. Such a handler should be injected by the mean of a custom module, so as to preserve the capability to upgrade iTop when a new version becomes available.

Here is an example of such a handler, found into core/userrights.class.inc.php:


public function DoCheckToWrite()
{
parent::DoCheckToWrite();

$aChanges = $this->ListChanges();
if (array_key_exists('login', $aChanges))
{
    if (strcasecmp($this->Get('login'), $this->GetOriginal('login')) !== 0)
    {
        $sNewLogin = $aChanges['login'];
        $oSearch = DBObjectSearch::FromOQL_AllData("SELECT User WHERE login = :newlogin");
        if (!$this->IsNew())
        {
            $oSearch->AddCondition('id', $this->GetKey(), '!=');
        }
        $oSet = new DBObjectSet($oSearch, array(), array('newlogin' => $sNewLogin));
        if ($oSet->Count() > 0)
        {
            $this->m_aCheckIssues[] = Dict::Format('Class:User/Error:LoginMustBeUnique', $sNewLogin);
        }
    }
}

}

Romain

Hi i am also facing the same issue can anybody help me how should i restrict Duplicate Serial number

[Jeffrey Bostoen]

Nowadays you'd need to create an extension which puts a uniqueness rule on the class, so serial number has to be unique.

Thank you for replying....can you please share any sample files which are working.

As i am new to the system not getting exactly in which files i have to do the changes.

Hello,

Wassim please next time open a dedicated thread instead of adding a reply in an old one !

Jeffrey : yes exactly !

See this wiki page to learn everything about uniqueness rules : Prevent duplicates [iTop Documentation]
