Procédure

1. From your ServiceNow instance, navigate to Workspaces > Software Asset Workspace.
   The Software Asset Workspace launches in a new tab.
2. Open the License operations view.
3. From the left navigation menu of the License operations view, navigate to IBM ASP Integration > Device settings.
4. Verify the meta data for all available hosts.
5. If any of the following meta data is incorrect, update it.
   • IBM PVUs per core
   • Region
     Remarque :

     If the Region meta data is empty for any of your physical hosts, the Default Region for IBM Devices (sn_samp_ibm_lic.default_region) Software Asset Management property automatically associates those hosts with a default region. By default, this system property is set to North America and South America. However, you can also set this system property to Europe and Africa or Asia and Australia. License usage can be calculated only for physical hosts that are associated with a region. See Software Asset Management properties for more information on this property.
   • Usage type

   Remarque :

   You cannot update the Device, PVU Comment, and IBM PVU mapping meta data.
   1. Double-click the value in the incorrect meta data field.
   2. When prompted, enter or select the correct value and then select the Save icon ().
      The meta data field updates with the correct value.
