# Manage certification policies

# Manage certification policies {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026

You can configure certification policies to keep your business applications inventory up to date. Keeping your business application data current helps you to assess your business applications precisely as there are indicators
that are dependent on these business applications.

If you have directly installed version 4.0.0 of the EA Workspace store application, the certifications data is saved to the CMDB Data Management Task (cmdb_data_management_task) table. The data is also fetched from this table.

If you upgraded your EA Workspace from a previous version to version 4.0.0, your certification data is still fetched from the Certification Schedules (cert_schedule) table. You
must migrate your certification policies to the CMDB Data Management Certification Policies (sn_cmdb_ws_dm_certification_policy) table.

## Convert certification schedules to certification policies {#eaw-config-cert-schedules__section_n1x_nlw_1fc}

To convert the existing certification schedules to certification policies, you must import the certification schedules into Data Manager. This process converts the certification schedules into draft certification policies and you can
then publish these policies to activate them. For more information, see [Import certification schedules in to Data Manager](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/exoRBcjVr2v7yGmefLD20w "Import the certification schedules into Data Manager to convert the existing certification schedules to certification policies.") and [Publish a draft Data Manager policy](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/SEQcuwB49Akg_2HU4tan2g "Publish the draft policies to activate them.").
