    Summary of Sample Payload for Oracle Software Install Records

    This document provides a sample payload for populating the Oracle Instance table (cmdbcidborainstance) with software install records from third-party discovery sources. It outlines the necessary steps for sending a payload after discovering Oracle software installs, ensuring effective integration with the ServiceNow platform.

    Key Features

    • Payload Structure: The payload consists of items representing Oracle instances and associated options, which include specific details about the Oracle database server.
    • Automatic Population: By enabling scheduled jobs in the Properties page, the system automatically populates records with null software installs when the SAM - Software Asset Connections job runs.
    • Integration with Discovery Sources: The payload facilitates integration with third-party discovery sources, ensuring that all relevant Oracle software install data is captured accurately.

    Key Outcomes

    By implementing this sample payload, ServiceNow customers can:

    • Efficiently track and manage Oracle software installations within the CMDB.
    • Automatically associate Oracle options with the corresponding instances, enhancing visibility into software utilization.
    • Streamline discovery processes and ensure accurate data representation in the system.

    A sample payload for Oracle publisher pack that populates the Oracle Instance [cmdb_ci_db_ora_instance] table with software install records from third-party discovery sources.

    After you discover Oracle software installs via your discovery source, send a payload that contains the Oracle Instance and the Oracle options associated with the Oracle Instance.
    Note:
    In the Properties page, make sure to select the Enable scheduled jobs when using third party Datasource Integration Framework [com.snc.samp.ire.datasource.integration] property.

    When the schedule job, SAM- Software Asset Connections, runs, it looks for records with null software installs, populates the software install field in the Oracle Instance table and creates the software install record associated to the instance.

    The following is a sample payload to create software install records for Oracle in the Oracle Instance [cmdb_ci_db_ora_instance] table. The sample input contains a list of CIs and relationships that exist between these CIs. The payload states that there is an Oracle database server, Dev development 1969 with a standard edition. The Oracle database server has many Oracle options enabled such as Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins and runs on a Linux server.
