Manage the TRM technical debts that are created for the products that aren't approved for the usage.  
A scheduled job Populate TRM technical debts in the EA Workspace runs and creates an entry in the TRM Technical Debt \[sn_apm_trm_standards_technical_debt\] table for EA Workspace. The table shows a reference to the software in any business application that is not aligned with the TRM software phases. The table shows a reference to the software in any business application that either isn't defined in TRM or has TRM product lifecycles that restrict the usage of the software. To know how the technical debts are calculated, see [TRM Technical Debt calculation in Enterprise Architecture Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/c5qBciaAERIO8YnkEiQOmw "A TRM technical debt indicates the unapproved usage of a software. The technical debts table [sn_apm_trm_standards_technical_debt], displays the TRM products and associated business applications details, and the reason for the technical debt.").  
Note:  
The Populate TRM technical debts in the EA Workspace scheduled job is available only when the Software Asset Management (SAM) Foundation or Software Asset Management (SAM) Professional plugin is installed.
