Deploying an Appropriate Adapter

To use a Service Management 9.41 adapter, all of your Service Management server, clients, and applications must be version 9.41 or later. You need to verify your Service Manager applications version and then find the correct adapter.

To to this, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to Service Management as a system administrator.
  2. Enter db in the command line, and press Enter.
  3. Enter scversion in the Table field, and then click Search.
  4. Click Search again.
  5. Check the Application Version value that is displayed.
  6. If your applications version is earlier than 9.41, use an old adapter appropriate for your Service Manager applications version. For details, see the Service Manager Universal CMDB Integration Guide for your specific Service Manager applications version.
  7. If you are running Service Manager applications 9.41 or later, your UCMDB system must have an appropriate Service Manager adapter deployed. You can do this by applying an appropriate content pack (CP) on top of the UCMDB server or deploying an appropriate adapter from the HPE Live Network website.
