Missing SAM Workspace Plugin in PDI: Xanadu Release of ServiceNow

Hi Folks, 

Hope we all are doing well.

 

After successfully spending a wonderful time with other releases of ServiceNow, I tried to look at the new and latest  release (Xanadu) of ServiceNow for Software Asset Management. But unfortunately, I found that the Heart of SAM Pro is missing in the latest release of ServiceNow in PDIs. Yeah, you guessed it correct, I am talking about SAM Workspace for which I am unable to find the Software Asset Management Playbooks and Guided Setups Plugin (sn_sam_playbook) in an Application Manager or Plugin Store in PDIs.

I would like to Request ServiceNow Community's Folks to have a look at this challenge/issue once and propose their solutions to get it resolved.

Hi @AakashG3443,

 

I've found a way to install the missing workspace with the help of a background script!

Solved: Re: Activate plugin via script / automatically - Page 2 - ServiceNow Community

 

//Partial Version
//you can check following URL to see if the work is finished. 
//It is finished when the completion time is set and the percent complete is 100.
//<instance>/sys_execution_tracker_list.do?sysparm_query=name%3DPlugin%20Installer

var plugins = [];
plugins.push('com.sn_sam_workspace');
var main = new GlideMultiPluginManagerWorker();
main.setPluginIds(plugins);
main.setProgressName("Plugin Installer");
main.setBackground(true);
main.start();

So - Will the actual Plug-in load option be available in my PDI Instance.  I am not a script writing user.  BUT i am doing research for SAMPro knowledge.

 

Hi @gitamninja,

the workspace is still missing and you need to execute the provided script to start the plugin installation.

Doesn't look like its been fixed....been driving me nuts all day checking the documentation and trying to figure out what plugin i'd missed.  This made it clear it wasn't me 🙂 
Ran the script and i now see it.
