Hello,

I need to migrate data from cmdb_software_instance table to cmdb_sam_sw_install table . For this I went to module "Migrate software install" and  run that/toggled that. First time data is exactly the same in install table from instance table but the count seems to go down when I checked cmdb_sam_sw_install after some time. I need to know that, why this happened ,Whether there is any scheduled job or anything that is running

 

Thanks in advance.

When SAM is installed installations are written to the cmdb_sam_sw_install table. 

Records in this table are removed by the SCCM Service Graf integration when software is uninstalled from a device. Similarly, records are removed by the ServiceNow Discovery integration when software is uninstalled from a device. Records are also removed when a CI is updated to Retired, Lost, or Stolen.
