このタスクについて

A software product must have a product process, which consists of a filename, that is required for SCCM Usage to pull data. When adding a software product to a reclamation rule, any product processes associated with the software product are shown in the Product Process related list. Product processes are stored in the Software Product Process [samp_sw_product_process] table.

If a product process doesn’t exist for a software product, you can create a custom one on the form. Product processes are stored in the Custom Product Process [samp_custom_product_process] table.

Some software products may not include a product process, but new product processes are added twice every week through the content library updates.
