If you're talking about manual changes to the SQL Database then you'll be on your own as regards dealing with any HPSIM Issues. It is not a supported solution.

What are you trying to achieve?

Hi,

I need to add a field containing the warrenty number that was gave to the server by the HP local distributer.
So if I need to make a service call i'll know the servers warrenty number from the SIM 4.1.

Thanks in advance,
Roni Assa.

Not supported and very well could break the application. Best is to put your data in the free-form Server Role field.

Using the "Server Role" field is not an acceptable solution for tracking this kind of information. This IS just a database. All that is required is adding some rows to the DB and minor changes to the UI in order to enter that data. Please, hear us out devs! (and please, nobody reply saying â buy a dellâ or â buy ope
