All corrections relate to Snow for ServiceNow connectors (Catalog and CMDB):

Corrections

  • Software models are no longer uploaded to company CI but to the appropriate CI in the CMDB.

  • Proxy issues, even with valid settings, that were causing the connection to Snow License Manager and ServiceNow to fail have been resolved so that connection now succeeds.

  • Transfer of data does not occur while the Data Update Job is running, ensuring that changes made to a customer environment are correctly reflected in the Snow License Manager database.

  • Filtering has been updated to ensure that virtual machines running in VMware, Hyper-V, or other environments are correctly identified as such. Virtual machines identified as other are ignored.

  • Data input handling has been re-instated to prevent connection failure owing to a missing forward slash (/) at the end of ServiceNow URLs. When the slash character is missing, it is now automatically appended.

  • The Snow License Manager customer drop down now shows all available customers (for the signed-in user). If only one customer is available, it is automatically selected.

  • User interface logic has been updated so that checking include VM relationships automatically enables Include Servers.
