SAM - Number of Oracle required licenses (per Processor)

[GianluNow]

Hi guys,

i'm trying to calculate the number of required license for any Oracle Installations with License metric = Per Processor.

I've installed Oracle Publisher Pack plugin and now I can define an entitlement with Metric group = Oracle and License Metric = Per Processor.

This entitlement is associated to an Oracle Software Model (Oracle DB Server Enterprire Edition).

Discovery process found this software installed to a configuration item that has theese parameters:

- Processor XEON (oracle_product_factor = 0.5)

- CPU Count = 2

-  CPU Core Count = 4

I've run reconciliation process and i've try to calculate the number of required licenses for Oracle in this way:

My question is : where can i find this information? I can't see this in entitlement definition and in license workbench.

I've attach ServiceNow documentation for more informations!

Thanks for your support.

Gianluca, yes it belongs to ITOM.

but, you can find out Oracle Infrastructure Report in the SAM Prof. as following navigation in Rome version.

Software Asset > Software Asset Workspace on your ServiceNow instance. After the Software Asset Workspace launches, navigate to License usage > Reports > Oracle infrastructure report.

There would be following information.

the column for "license required" would be helpful to you.
