SMS_G_System_Current is an abstract class from which inventory objects are derived. It contains multiple subclasses named SMS_G_System_<resource>, such as SMS_G_System_CDROM.
An inventory object can be updated, creating a group of delta versions of the same object differing (at least) by incremental changes in RevisionID. SMS_G_System_Current contains the most up-to-date deltas only.
Table B.59 Current Inventory (SMS_G_System_Current)
| Property | Data type | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| GroupID | uint32 | Key. Within one ResourceID (one SMS client), GroupID distinguishes one instance of a class from another. Objects with the same ResourceID and GroupID are “deltas” of one another, describing the same hardware inventory instance at different points in time. | |
| ResourceID | uint32 | 3 | Key. Indicates an identifier for the resource that is unique to this site. System Resource Type inventory items with the same ResourceID were all discovered on the same SMS client. A ResourceID is an integer generated for the sake of SQL. It is not unique outside the site and should be used only for short-term querying purposes. |
| RevisionID | uint32 | Objects with the same ResourceID and GroupID are deltas, differentiated from one another by RevisionID number. The highest number is the most recent update. | |
| TimeStamp | datetime | See “Date and Time Formats” at the beginning of this appendix. | Indicates the creation time (revision time) of this delta. |
