Configure third-party discovery sources for Software Asset Management

[Community Alums]

Hi All

Could someone please help me to understand the purpose of this property in SAM Pro?

My client is asking for a justification to enable it as they already have third party integrations in place and the property is not enabled.so how is it going to make a difference ?

Thanks

Found this,

Com.snc.samp.ire.datasource.integration:  This property works in conjunction with the SAM – Deduplicate Install Table scheduled job to remove duplicate software installation records.  When a single device is discovered by multiple discovery sources, multiple software installations for the same software can be created. Using this system property and executing the scheduled job will identify and remove duplicate software installations created against a single CI. The scheduled job will update the “Active” value on the software installations table to True for one of the duplicates and False for the remaining duplicates.
