Now supporting Utah release of ServiceNow
The latest version of ServiceNow was just released and with version 5.1.1, the Flexera Integration App for ServiceNow supports the Utah release to ensure compatibility with the latest ServiceNow updates.
Improved logging and details related to fix scripts
In this version, logging improvements have been made to show the start, end, and errors related to fix scripts in the Application Logs. This will help improve visibility and give you more insight into what’s occurring when these are ran.
Option to set the user for Flexera data imports
Now “Flexera Integration App for ServiceNow” administrators can optionally set the user for data imports.
Previously, records updated or created via the Flexera Integration App would use the default user as the user ID. Consequently, the Updated by, Created by, and Run as fields in the Flexera Integration App UI would display system as the user ID for those records. This is the default setting in ServiceNow, but it is not informative and could lead to confusion about what’s updating what and when. Now, you can customize the user ID to show a more meaningful user ID in the UI—for example Flexera Integration.
For instructions and a fix script that customize the user ID for data imports, see the following knowledge base article in the Flexera Community: Instructions to update the 'System' user to 'Integration' user for all the inserts/updates of records by the Flexera Scoped application".
Read access to Flexera custom tables
This version provides cross-scope read access to the following Flexera custom tables to help support business cases where that data is needed, such as for reporting or dashboarding.
- x_fls_flexera_fnms_flexera_hardware_model
- x_fls_flexera_fnms_flexera_software_model
