How can I view the License Metric Calculation script for Oracle Per Processor License Metric?

[Steve H2]

We need to create a custom license metric for an Oracle license metric that is based on 2 core per processor, instead of the single core per processor that is part of the Oracle Publisher Pack. To create this custom license metric we need to look at the Calculation script that is part of the Oracle Publisher Pack Per Processor License Metric. We want to use that script as a model for our custom license metric calculation.
When we view the Oracle Per Processor license metric record the calculation script is not viewable, even when we add the script field to the form layout. So how can we see the calculation script?

Hi Steve,

Did you create your software model manually or via entry of a Publisher part number on the software entitlement record?  If use did the latter, check the Metric Attributes related list on the Software Model.  You may be able to simply mark the number of cores to count there, which would result in the system calculating 2 cores per one license using the out of box metric.

If you choose the Common Metric group and specify Per Core as the license metric, you'll note a Metric Attribute is added to the Software Model, metric attribute related list that allows you to specify two cores, or even more to consume a license. 

Hope this is helpful and precludes you from needing to create a custom license metric.

Regards.

Actually it is a matter of incorrect information. I was mistaken in thinking this was an Oracle product. It is actually a Microsoft product. In my reply to your other comment, I indicated that your suggestion worked when I tried it for the Microsoft product. But I also had a question about adding a Metric Attribute to a Model we created.

Thanks for your helpful suggestions and information!

Looks like my reply to your other comment didn't get saved!

Glad I could help Steve,

I actually deleted my comment, to preclude confusion among Community members.  Very glad it worked for you with a Microsoft product.  Metric attributes cannot be added manually.  They are added by ServiceNow based on the license metric chosen on the related software entitlement records.
