Answer 1

Discovery Pattern

Question 2

Software installed in your environment that discovery identifies and automatically populates into the Software Installation [cmdb_sam_sw_install] table.

Answer 2

Software Installation

Question 3

Automatically created during discovery or import process to identify and normalize the software installed in an environment.

Answer 3

Software Discovery Model

Question 4

A predefined set of conditions that determine which software discovery models get mapped to which software models.

Answer 4

Software Discovery Map

Question 5

Used to normalize specific software products within an environment based on a common pattern.

Answer 5

Pattern Normalization Rule

Question 6

Identifies the level of normalization match based on publisher, product, and version.

Answer 6

Normalization Status

Question 7

Manual update of software discovery model data.

Answer 7

Manual Normalization

Question 8

Answer 8

Normalization Suggestion

Question 9

Used to generate accurate license positions from raw discovery data.

Answer 9

Question 10

What are Software Entitlements?

Answer 10

Software entitlements provide software license details that define user rights. They play a part in determining your compliance position (i.e. whether a user using a given software application has been correctly licensed to use the application).

Question 11

What table stores the entitlement import records?

Answer 11

Entitlement import [samp_bulk_import]

Question 12

Answer 12

1. Software Asset Management Professional (com.sn_samp_master)
2. Software Asset Workspace (com.sn_sam_workspace)

Question 13

When Discovery finds a software installation, what table is automatically populated with this information?

Answer 13

Software Installations table [cmdb_sam_sw_install]

Question 14

Software installations are discovered using ____________ _______________.

Answer 14

Discovery Patterns

Question 15

What are the four phases of Discovery?

Answer 15

1. Scanning: “Are you there? How will I classify you?”
2. Classification: “How should I classify you specifically?”
3. Identification: “Have I seen you before?”
4. Exploration: “What else can you tell me about yourself?”

Question 16

What is the difference between Software Discovery Models and Software Models?

Answer 16

Software Models are created when a specific version or edition of software is purchased and/or available to users.

Software Discovery Maps map the Software Discovery Model (installations) to the appropriate Software Model (purchased rights to use).

Question 17

_______ _______ ______ are used to identify and normalize software installed in an environment.

Answer 17

Software Discovery Models

Question 18

How are software installations matched with a software discovery model?

Answer 18

Primary key from the Software Installation [cmdb_sam_sw_install] table.

Question 19

What happens if a software discovery model is not found that matches the primary key?

Answer 19

A new software discovery model is automatically created.

Question 20

Where are Software discovery models are stored?

Answer 20

Software Discovery Model [cmdb_sam_sw_discovery_model]

Question 21

________ _______ are used to connect purchased software rights with discovered software installations.

Answer 21

Software models

Question 22

What roles have the ability to refresh the processor definitions?

Answer 22

sam_admin & sys_admin

Question 23

Automatically created during discovery to identify and normalize the software installed.

Answer 23

Software discovery model

Question 24

A predefined set of conditions that determine which software discovery models get mapped.

Answer 24

Software discovery map

Question 25

Identifies the level of normalization match based on publisher, product, and version.

Answer 25
