Enterprise Asset Management normalization

The Enterprise Asset Management normalization process enables you to normalize your manufacturer, model name, model number, and model type data of your enterprise models.

Normalization overview

The normalization process compares the discovered manufacturer, discovered model, discovered model type, and the discovered model number values against the ServiceNow repository of normalized equivalents in the Enterprise Asset Management Content Service.

To standardize your enterprise models, the data must be normalized. You can manually update the model records with the normalization content, or you can compare your data against the Enterprise Asset Management Content Service.

Scheduled jobs for Normalization

The following are the scheduled jobs that run during the normalization process.

Scheduled job	Description
EAM - Daily Job	Sets the time when data is pulled by the Enterprise Asset Management Content Service. This job runs only once, when the normalization process is started for the first time. If a model has gone beyond its end of its lifecycle date, this job enables the Content lifecycle phase check box in the Enterprise Model Lifecycle tab in a model record.
EAM - Content Upload	A daily job that uploads any content to the Enterprise Asset Management Content Service that you have added in the following custom tables: Custom Enterprise Model Type [sn_eam_cd_custom_model_type] Custom Enterprise Manufacturer [sn_eam_cd_custom_manufacturer Custom Enterprise Product Model [sn_eam_cd_custom_product_model] Custom Enterprise Model Library [sn_eam_cd_custom_model_library] Note: This job only runs if you have opted in to the Enterprise Asset Management Content Service.
EAM - Enterprise Lifecycles	Updates the model record with information about newly created or deleted life cycles.
EAM - Normalization	Normalizes all the models that haven't been normalized.
EAM - Apply latest content changes	Updates any changes in the content tables to the Enterprise Asset Management Content Service.
