Oracle and Vmware publisher pack in sam

[snow57]

Hi Team,

Did anyone configure Oracle and VMware publisher packs in SAMPRO? If yes, what are the steps after completing discovery of oracle and VMware?

Thanks,

Hi @snow57,

same as for all other publishers. The next step should be the entitlement on-boarding to get a first ELP and insights into gaps (unlicensed installs, installs requiring actions, ITAM health check results)

Hi,

Thanks for the response. Is there any automation to pull the entitlements apart from creating manually with PPN or bulk import of entitlements ? or is there any way to onboard the first ELP ?

Thanks

Hi @snow57,

To fully automate the process, your data must be available in the same quality as you need it for the bulk template upload. Even then, there may still be missing data (user, cost center) and you have to establish an appropriate error handling. Do you already have a source that provides you with the same amount of dataquality as for the bulk upload?

My experience with the first ELPs was always mixed, there were far too many queries and adjustments that needed to be made for automation not to be worthwhile. I would take this step first for daily SAM operations in order to automate the data transfer in conjunction with procurement.

Hi @dreinhardt ,

Thaks for the resposne. I have the details of software entitlements, model details . The discovery is looking good . But i am unable to get the "rights consumed" data related to oracle. Is there any way to ge those?

Thanks
