How to - Load/Enter Mainframe Software Entitlements into SN SAM Pro

[Lisa66]

We have not used SN SAM or SAM Pro, yet.   It will be implemented, soon.  I am preparing information for input into SAM Pro and am not sure how to "code" the mainframe software license metrics, i.e., MSU, MIPS, VU, etc.   I have searched through the SN website and cannot find any references that help.  I did find one for Flexera, https://community.flexera.com/xtqzp85664/attachments/xtqzp85664/FNMS-Discussion/1251/1/IBM%20Practice%20Guide.pdf  Page 58.   Does anyone know of anything similar for ServiceNow SAM Pro?

David,

So,  if I read the link correctly, I am to create custom metrics for each of the mainframe license metrics?  

[David Waldner · Accepted solution]

Yes, for all license metrics which are currently not available as part of the publisher packs or the common ones.
