SAM Discovery Maps

Hello all!

 

I have got a question about the Discovery Maps in Software Asset Management.

The Discovery Maps are used to map (connect) the Software Discovery Models to the Software Models. Upon import of a Software Entitlement, if the PPN for the the given Entitlement is available in the Content Service, the relevant Software Model is automatically created, and the Discovery Map used is referenced in the Software Model record.

 

What confuses me is - how is that Discovery Map record interacting/is related to the Software Discovery Model? I am not able to find any relationship or reference between the two type of records. I thought it might be in the the scripts that runs for normalization, but but could not find anything in there about the Discovery Map records (samp_sw_entitlement_definition)

 

Thanks & Regards! 🙂
