Spoke actions
The SCCM Usage Metering spoke provides actions to retrieve software usage data from a Microsoft System Center Configuration Management Usage Metering server. Available actions include:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Get Software Last Used Data | Retrieves the last usage data of the required software from the Microsoft SCCM server. |
| Get Software Usage Data | Retrieves usage metering of the required software from the Microsoft SCCM server. |
The spoke actions support a maximum payload of 10 MB from the SCCM server for the JDBC step.
Connection and credential alias requirements
Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection. For more information, see Connections and Credentials.
For information about setting up the spoke, see Set up the SCCM Usage Metering spoke.
MID Server requirements
These actions use REST calls, which can run on an instance or MID Server. Use the connection record that is associated with the Microsoft SCCM Usage Metering alias to configure where actions run as well as to set MID Server selection attributes. For more information, see MID server.
