  • 所要時間：3分

    • The ServiceNow Discovery and Service Mapping applications can find and map the Informix Dynamic Server. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

    Request apps on the Store

    Visit the ServiceNow Store to view all the available apps, and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the ServiceNow Store version history release notes.

    Prerequisites

    User
    Provide a user with permissions to run the following commands without elevated rights:

    • $install_directory/bin/onstat -g dis

      This command gets the status and configuration of Informix Dynamic server.

    • $install_directory/bin/dbaccess sysmaster

      This command runs an sql query against the master schema.

    The same user must have read permission for the following directories:
    • install_directory + "/etc/sqlhosts

      Access to this directory is necessary to get information about the port, host, and service definition of the Informix Dynamic server.

    • /etc/services

      Access to this directory is required to get information about the host service definition.

    Credentials
    Configure SSH credentials in the Credentials module of the ServiceNow platform for accessing the server hosting the Informix Dynamic server.
