Sample payload for Citrix software install records

A sample payload for the Citrix publisher pack that populates the Software Installation [cmdb_sam_sw__install] table with software install records from third-party discovery sources.

The Citrix publisher pack supports two products: virtual applications and virtual desktop. For these products, Citrix supports concurrent licensing and user/device licensing.

Note:

For information on license metrics, see Software License Metrics

The IRE API relies on two CI identifier rules for creating Citrix software install records. The Citrix License server [cmdb_ci_appl_license_server] identifier populates the CAL entries and the Citrix Delivery Controller [cmdb_ci_appl_delivery_controler] identifier creates the software install records.

The CAL entries are used during reconciliation to compare against the purchased rights in entitlements to get the correct license position for Citrix products​. The Citrix License server identifier provides information on the samp_concurrent_license_consumption and the samp_user_device_license_consumption tables. Based on your licensing entitlements, you need to populate either of these two tables.

Send a payload to populate the samp_concurrent_license_consumption or the samp_user_device_license_consumption table. Ensure that you mention the key attributes for the tables in the payload:

• samp_concurrent_license_consumption: product_code and number
• samp_user_device_license_consumption: product_code, consumer, and consumer_type

Note:

The two tables are passed in one payload since both are related entries of the parent CI table, cmdb_ci_appl_license_server. In the payload, specify the relationship between the tables and the CI parent table.

Once you send the payload, entries are created in the samp_concurrent_license_consumption and the samp_user_device_license_consumption tables. Now execute the scheduled job, SAM- Create Citrix CAL entries, to update the Client Access [samp_sw_client_access] table. Client access records are created for each product with user/device count. ​

Note:

Ensure that you configure the schedule job, SAM- Create Citrix CAL entries to execute after processing the payload successfully.

Using the Citrix Delivery Controller [cmdb_ci_appl_delivery_controler] identifier, send a payload to populate all the 7 Citrix tables. Make sure that you mention the key attributes for the 7 tables in the payload.

Note:

Click Related Entries in the Citrix Delivery Controller identifier to look up the key attributes (Criterion attributes) for the Citrix tables.

Once the entries are created in the tables, execute the scheduled job, SAM- Create Citrix Software installs. The Citrix sofware install records are created in the Software Installation [cmdb_sam_sw_install] table.
