Exam CIS-SAM topic 2 question 35 discussion

Discovery models are compared to ServiceNow's Software Content Library As part of the software normalization process, software discovery models are normalized: • Business Rule Create a Software Normalization executes before insert/update and normalizes (Publisher, Product, and Version ) discovery model using the exact match rules (samp_package_map, samp_product_map, cds_client_name). Pattern based rules are not run during execution of the business rule. • Scheduled job Discovery Model Normalization (sysauto_script) runs daily. ○ Processes all discovery models that are not normalized or manually normalized. § First attempts to normalize based on the exact match rules (package, product, publisher). § Then applies the pattern based rules in batch across the remaining discovery models.

8. Normalization of software discovery models: a. Business Rule Create a Software Normalization executes before insert/update and normalizes discovery model using the exact match rules (samp_package_map, samp_product_map, cds_client_name). Pattern based rules are not run during execution of the business rule b. Scheduled job Discovery Model Normalization (sysauto_script) runs daily. i. Processes all discovery models that are not normalized or manually normalized. 1. First attempts to normalize based on the exact match rules (package, product, publisher). 2. Then applies the pattern based rules in batch across the remaining discovery models.

Discovery models are compared to ServiceNow’s Software Content Library: - Business rule ‘Create a Software Normalization’ executes and normalizes discovery model using the exact match rules. - Scheduled job ‘Discovery Model Normalization (sysauto_script) runs daily. o Processes all Discovery models that are not normalized or manually normalized. o First attempts on exact match rules (package, product, publisher), then applies pattern based rules.
