    ServiceNow Role required: sam_integrator

    重要:
    You must select the Jira Spoke check box for this integration while installing optional features on the Application Manager page. For more information about choosing the required SaaS applications, see Request SaaS License Management.

      Profile type Jira Subscription. This field is automatically populated.
    3. Review the required user roles or API permissions specified in the Vendor configuration field for each process to minimize security risks and optimize SaaS licenses.
      注:
      For more information, see the Minimal user permissions table.
      1. In the Download Subscription Subflow section, verify that the Subflow field is set to Jira Download Subscriptions.
        注:
        The Download subscriptions check box is selected by default and you can't clear it.
      2. In the Calculate Activity Subflow section, verify that the Subflow field is set to Jira Update User Activity.
        注:
        The Download Activity check box is selected by default. If you clear it, the activity scheduled job SAM - Refresh <displayname> Activity isn't created.
        In the Analyze user activity field, you can also select the date and time starting from when you want to analyze the user activity. By default, you can analyze user activity up to 60 days prior to the current date and view events performed by individual users from the time you create this profile.
        注:
        Software Asset Management pulls the events from the time that you start analyzing user activity irrespective of the profile creation date.
        You can modify this value in the Last activity threshold field of your software reclamation rules. For more information, see Review a software reclamation rule.
      3. In the Reclaim Subscription Subflow section, verify that the Subflow field is set to Jira Reclaim Subscription.
        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_jira_spoke.jira_subscription_activity_reclaim.

      注:
      The automatically populated value in the Connection & credential field changes based on the selection in the Download activity and Reclaim subscriptions check boxes.
      表 : 3. Automatically populated Connection & credential values based on the selection
      Selection Connection & credential value
      Both Download activity and Reclaim subscriptions are selected. sn_jira_spoke.jira_subscription_activity_reclaim

    8. Select Create and Get OAuth Token.
    9. On your ServiceNow instance, specify the groups that have access to Jira products.
      By specifying these groups on your ServiceNow instance, you can retrieve data and manage licenses for only the users within these groups.
      1. In a new tab, open the Atlassian Administration portal.
      2. Log in to your site admin account.
      3. Select the Select button against the required organization.
      4. Select the Products tab.
      5. On the Products page, select Manage product on the Jira product row.
      6. View the list of groups that have access to Jira Software.

      10. Select the right arrow button to move the groups from the Available list to the Selected list.
      11. Select OK.
    10. On the integration profile form, select Validate Connection to verify the connection and credential details of this integration.

      Validating the connection verifies the Download Subscriptions and Calculate Activity APIs, but not the Reclaim Subscriptions APIs.

    11. After the connection is verified, select Publish.
    12. In the Publish Confirmation dialog box, select OK.
      注:
      If you clear the Download Activity check box after the integration profile is published, you must revalidate the connections and then republish the integration profile because the following events occur:
      • The Status field on the integration profile form changes to Draft.
      • The Validate connection button shows up on the form.
      • The current SAM - Refresh <displayname> Activity job gets deleted.

    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 Jira 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.
