Hi,
Does anyone know if there is any documentation from the new BigFix connector in SIM5.6? The only information I found is the update from Myrja about SIM 5.6.
It implies that there is only a CSV file generated from the connector now, so nothing will go through to SLM/Inventory?
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
Hi Dennis
There are technically two ways to get the ILMT data into SLM via the SIM. The direct API to the ILMT server, and the older manual CSV upload. Both provide the key PVU data to SLM to help you record your PVU sub capacity requirements.
As Mark states there has been a couple of small changes at the back end due to the ILMT API being updated by IBM to ensure we can capture the full required data set for SLM.
Everything should work as before without any need to make changes to your current configuration.
Hope that helps

Hi Dennis,
As far as I know, the release notes are the only documentation that details he changes made to the SIM, however we have been testing the BigFix/ILMT connector for some time prior to the release, and I can confirm that although Snow have changed the way they get data from BigFix, they do still import that data so it will go into SLM\Inventory as usual.
Hope that helps.
Mark.
