        注:
        The Reclaim subscriptions check box is selected by default. If you don't want to reclaim subscriptions, you can clear this check box. If you clear it, the removal candidates are created but the reclaim subscription subflow isn't triggered or the reclamation process isn't initiated.
    4. Select Save.
      A draft integration profile is created.

      The Connection & Credential field appears and is automatically set to sn_looker_spoke.Looker.

    次のタスク

    After the integration connects, your ServiceNow instance automatically creates software models, reclamation rules, and software subscriptions that are refreshed daily.

    After creating an integration profile, view information about the profile in the Software Asset Workspace by navigating to License operations > User subscription > Direct integration profiles. You can select an integration profile to view the following related lists. If all of the following related lists aren't visible for an integration profile in the default view, you can select the custom integration view from the Details tab:
    • Software Models
    • Unrecognized Subscription Identifiers
    • Scheduled Jobs
    • Scheduled Job Results
    • Software Subscriptions
    • Subscription Identifier Exclusion Rule
    • Subscription User Exclusion Rule

    After creating an integration profile, you can define subscription exclusion rules to keep certain subscriptions from license cost calculations. For more information, see Subscription exclusions for SaaS and SSO applications.

    If you want to set up multiple integration profiles with unique connections, create child aliases to manage different configurations and settings for each integration profile. For more information, see Create a child alias to set up multiple integration profiles.

    Review all automatically generated reclamation rules to reclaim user subscriptions. For more information, see Review a software reclamation rule.

    Create software entitlements for the automatically generated software models to track used software against owned software.
    Reconciliation also runs on your subscriptions as a scheduled job or on-demand. You can view your reconciliation results in the License Workbench (Software Asset Management classic application) or the License usage view (Software Asset Workspace). Use these results to determine your license compliance position and to remediate any non-compliance.
