ILMT integration sampro

[servicenow begi]

I need to implement ILMT integration for my client to track and optimize licensing for the IBM software products.

The servicenow documents are quite confusing and I need some help to understand where to begin with.

Doc link: Integrating with the IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) or BigFix Inventory using v2 APIs

As per my understanding the below steps need to be completed by the the client(Or IBM vendor)

• Install, set up, and run ILMT or BigFix Inventory on a physical host or virtual machine (VM).
• Install ILMT version 9.2.24 or later.
• Configure your IBM ILMT agents to scan your physical hosts or VMs in compliance with IBM usage measurement guidelines.
• Enable ILMT or BigFix Inventory to discover the configurations of both physical hosts and VMs as well as the relationships between them.
• Classify and bundle IBM components into IBM products through ILMT or BigFix Inventory.

And the remaining  below steps need to be completed in Servivcenow

• Request and install the IBM License Compliance for Software Asset Management application from the ServiceNow® Store. 
• Set the Connect to ILMT using (sn_samp_ibm_lic.ilmt_api_version) Software Asset Management property to v2 API's.
• Setting up an IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) or BigFix Inventory integration for HTTPS
• Create a connection to ILMT or BigFix Inventory

Kindly confirm
