    Key Features

    • Integration with Third-Party Discovery: Ensure that the scheduled jobs are enabled for effective integration with the Datasource Integration Framework.
    • Automated Population: The SAM - Software Asset Connections job identifies records without software installs and populates the Oracle Instance table accordingly.
    • Detailed Payload Structure: The payload includes details such as the Oracle database server name, edition, system ID, version, and its associated options.

    Key Outcomes

    By utilizing this payload, ServiceNow customers can efficiently manage Oracle software installations, ensuring accurate records in the Oracle Instance table. This directly supports inventory management and compliance tracking, enhancing overall asset management within your organization.

    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.
