Title: Correcting inconsistencies within Technopedia for wildfly/apache-tomcat/liberty/nginx sub packages/components installer evidence

Class 3

Customers should be prepared and take the necessary actions.

Summary

We had an inconsistency in the recognition of the “wildfly/apache-tomcat/liberty/nginx sub packages/components”; now we are going to unmap this discovery in Technopedia. 

Currently, installer evidence “wildfly/apache-tomcat/liberty/nginx sub packages/components” was recognized for the product and the releases by capturing the distinct products. Since it is a component/library/sub packages used by their primary product ecosystem functionality, it does not have a distinct installation that can be independently identified. Now we are going to mark this as irrelevant in our Technopedia.

Along with ignoring this discovery data, we are also implementing the following changes:

WildFly, Apache-Tomcat, Liberty, and NGINX will remain as the primary products. The associated sub-packages, components, and libraries that were previously captured as separate products with individual Product IDs will be removed from the primary product hierarchy. Only the primary products will be retained for recognition and mapping purposes.

Impact

This change will impact customers who rely on Technopedia Product ID/Release ID & Names, or previously discovered data mapped to the old manufacturer will be mapped to the new manufacturer. The change requires the customer to manage downstream processes and reporting in their organization.

The evidences that will have an impact are listed in the spreadsheet.

Timeframe

Expected Time to Implementation (ETA): September 22nd – 24th
