release notes for Snow License Manager 8.3.2 Oracle orders visible directly The Oracle orders tab has been moved up to the Oracle overview page. Functionally, this page hasn't changed, displaying a grid of all Oracle orders which can be filtered on column headers such as Order date and Organisation. The tab has been moved higher up in the information hierarchy to reduce the number of clicks needed to obtain Oracle order information. If no orders have been entered in the system, this tab will show a zero-order count. The Add Oracle order function is available in the header menu on the Orders tab, beside the Column selector function and the options menu, which provides export and refresh choices. Security best practices HTML headers have been updated to align with OWASP best practices, to protect against attacks such as clickjacking and MIME-sniffing. Grid filtering added to search results The list of hits resulting from a Search for computers or Search for applications can be filtered on column header to quickly refine the number of search hits. Role-based views for Oracle What Oracle data is visible in Snow License Manager depends on the role of the user currently logged in and whether you have a license for the Oracle Management Option extension. It is now possible to configure and edit the object security and report access in Snow Management and Configuration Center (Snow MACC) to control access to Oracle data. It is possible to configure the visibility of the Enterprise menu and Oracle overview tab according to users' roles in Snow. Additional views and reports, such Oracle orders and databases are configurable for customers with the Oracle Management Option (OMO) extension. First discovery of an application on a computer and when it was last seen To better interpret when an application was first seen on a computer, Snow is developing a concept based on the date an application was discovered by our software recognition. This has proven a more reliable method than using the installation date provided by different operating systems. To support the discovered concept, the column First discovered, has been added to the views, Application details/Computers tab, and Computer details/Applications tab. The column Installed has been removed from Application details/Computers tab. The Firstdiscovered column has also been included in reports Blacklisted applications per computer and Blacklisted applications per user along with a new column heading Last discovered- which shows the date when the application was last recognized on a computer by software recognition. Corrections in Snow License Manager 8.3.2 • The Database editions view under Oracle overview now loads all inventoried and discovered databases correctly for large organizations (PRB0041819). • Sorting auto-connect rules in Snow Management and Configuration Center, now displays rules correctly in alphanumeric order. When deleting or editing a rule following sort, the correct rule is deleted/edited (PRB0040269). • When adding a license for an application, the dropdown list of Stock-keeping units (SKUs) now only shows SKUs for licenses (PRB0040581). • Cosmetic issues with custom reports have been resolved to ensure that columns do not expand beyond the limits of the browser window (PRB0040639). • When changing the assignment type to User for licenses based on the metric Installations, the warning to delete the license no longer occurs. However, this action requires you to assign the license to a user. By clinking the link Assignment > following the text This assignment type requires you to assign users to the right of the assignment type dropdown, a new pane will appear enabling you to search for users (PRB0040054). • The number of Underlicensed applications shown in the alert list on the default Snowboard now aligns correctly with the number shown in the Underlicensed applications report (PRB0041335). • Adding compliance widgets to a Snowboard with other types of widget no longer causes a timeout in large environment. (PRB0041360). • The search hits resulting from a Search for computers and Search for applications with no additional search criteria and Organisation set to the root, now populates correctly, scrolling down through the search list no longer results in blank content (PRB0041798). • It is now possible to Search for Computers and Search for applications on organizational nodes that are not checked as Legal organisation node in the Snow Management and Configuration Center (Snow MACC) (PRB0041744). • The communication timeout setting for the SQL server to import files and update existing computers with metadata for custom fields can now be configured in Snow License Manager - Web Configurator. The default value is set to 5 minutes (PRB0040625). • The List all devices feature has been overhauled to ensure that the results grid is displayed correctly (PRB0040686). • Multiple IPs detected by the Hyper-V SIM connector, which was causing incorrect mapping of VMs to the inventoried computers has been corrected to ensure that VMs and computers are now correctly matched (PRB0041641).
