A sample payload for Oracle publisher pack that populates the Oracle Instance [cmdb_ci_db_ora_instance] table with software install records from third-party discovery sources.
When the schedule job, SAM- Software Asset Connections, runs, it looks for records with null software installs, populates the software install field in the Oracle Instance table and creates the software install record associated to the instance.
The following is a sample payload to create software install records for Oracle in the Oracle Instance [cmdb_ci_db_ora_instance] table. The sample input contains a list of CIs and relationships that exist between these CIs. The payload states that there is an Oracle database server, Dev development 1969 with a standard edition.
