IBM Endpoint Manager for Software Use Analysis 2.x database information to schema information

To retrieve complete information about your environment, first use the IBM® Endpoint Manager adapter to retrieve your hardware inventory, and then the Software Use Analysis adapter to retrieve your software inventory.

Hardware inventory

To import data for your hardware inventory, use the IBM Endpoint Manager 9.0 adapter to import data directly from IBM Endpoint Manager. To retrieve complete data, ensure that all action sites listed in the IBM Endpoint Manager mapping table are enabled and that the corresponding analyses are activated. For more information, see IBM Endpoint Manager 9.0 db information to schema information.

Software inventory

To import data for your software inventory from Software Use Analysis, use the IBM Endpoint Manager for Software Use Analysis 2.x/9.0 adapters.

The application requires additional configuration of computer properties and session settings so that all relevant data can be retrieved:
  • In the Session Settings of Software Use Analysis, increase the session timeout value. For large amounts of data, you might need to increase the value to 8 hours.
  • For each property listed in the following table, a computer property must be created in the Software Use Analysis web user interface.
  • If you want to retrieve any additional computer properties, retrieve them directly from IBM Endpoint Manager.
