What's New in Content Pack 19

This section provides information about new features and enhancements to Content Pack 19.

Discovered Applications

Added support for discovering the following applications:

• Apache Tomcat 9.0
• IBM WebSphere Liberty Core Server 8.x

• JBoss Application Server 8.x, 9.x, 10.x

  Note (Only for JBoss 7.x versions) Due to different management modes, you need to add two folders 7.0 and 7.1 under the following directory:

  C:\hp\UCMDB\DataFlowProbe\runtime\probeManager
  \discoveryResources\j2ee\jboss

  After upgrading CP version to CP 19, replace the folder 7.x with the real JBoss version. For example, if you have 7.0.x JBoss Application Server in your environment, change the folder name 7.x to 7.0. If you have both 7.0.x and 7.1.x in your environment, make sure that there are two folders 7.0 and 7.1 in the preceding directory.

• Microsoft Exchange Server 2016

New Discoveries and Jobs

Added support for the following discoveries and jobs:

• Brocade Storage Switch discovery

  Added support for the new namespace root/brocade1 under the SMI-S discovery jobs, which is for the Brocade optical switches. The SMI-S discovery jobs can discover the model including the Storage Fabric, Switch, Host, FC Port CI types and their relationships.

• SAP HanaDB by SQL discovery

  Added the HanaDb Connection by SQL job to connect to the SAP HANA Database.

  Added the HanaDb Topology by SQL job to discover the topology of the SAP HANA Database using the SQL protocol.

• SAP MaxDB by SQL discovery

  Added the MaxDb Connection by SQL job to connect to the SAP MaxDB database.

  Added the MaxDb Topology by SQL job to discover the topology of the SAP MaxDB database using the SQL protocol.

• Oracle Connection by Shell discovery

  Oracle instances running in the standby mode cannot be connected with the SQL credentials. This means the Oracle CI can be discovered by the Host Applications by Shell job; however, the Oracle Database Connection by SQL job fails to connect to the instances with all available protocols. Therefore, the auditing data are missing in their Oracle LMS report. To fix this issue, the Oracle Connection by Shell job is added to discover all Oracle database servers using the Shell protocol.

  Note  

  • Oracle Connection by Shell discovery requires UCMDB 10.22 CUP1 or later.
  • The account using to connect to Oracle should have the privilege to run SQL*Plus as SYSDBA.

• WebSphere Liberty Core Server discovery

  Added the JEE WebSphere Liberty Core by Shell job to discover the full topology of WebSphere Liberty Core.

• Added the NetApp Filer Connection by WebServices job to connect to NetApp Filers.

  If you want to discover the newly provisioned NetApp devices, enable the NetApp Filer Connection by WebServices job. An IP address can no longer trigger the NetApp Filer by WebServices job; thus this job cannot discover newly added NetApp devices.

For more details, see Discovery Modules.

Integrations

• Added support for integrating the following applications:

  • BMC Atrium CMDB (Atrium) 9.x

    Note: Support for Atrium 9.x requires UCMDB 10.22 or later.

  • HPE SIM 7.5
• Added the multi-process parallel push mode in the AM Push Adapter and AM Generic Adapter.

• The HPE NA integration adapter can report Power Supplies, Fans, and other device modules as Hardware Boards.

  Added a new parameter reportDeviceModules for the Pull Topology from HP NA adapter to report device modules. The default value of this parameter is false.

• Added a new parameter Fail Bulk for the Service-Now Push adapter to control whether to discard the whole bulk when there is inconsistent data. The default value of this parameter is true.

Others

• Universal Discovery agent no longer requires the reference to the SSH credential to be available in the UDA CI when sudo is configured with NOPASSWD.
• The Host Resources by PowerShell/Shell/WMI and Host Applications by PowerShell/Shell/WMI jobs can discover Disk Device CIs with their serial numbers.

• The Host Resources by PowerShell/Shell/WMI and Host Applications by PowerShell/Shell/WMI jobs can report Windows device drivers.

  Added a new parameter discoverDrivers for the Host Resources by PowerShell/Shell/WMI and Host Applications by PowerShell/Shell/WMI jobs to discover Windows device drivers. The default value of this parameter is false.

  The Inventory Discovery by Scanner job can also report Windows device drivers. However, this feature is disabled by default. The discovery of the Windows device drivers needs to be enabled in the scanner configuration. For details, see How to Discover Windows Device Drivers using the Inventory Discovery by Scanner Job.

• The Windows storage topology can be discovered by the Inventory Discovery by Scanner, Host Resources by PowerShell/Shell/WMI, and Host Applications by PowerShell/Shell/WMI jobs.

  The Inventory Discovery by Scanner job reports the storage topology automatically if it exists.

  Added a new parameter discoveriSCSIInfo for the Host Resources by PowerShell/Shell/WMI and Host Applications by PowerShell/Shell/WMI jobs to discover the iSCSI information, including iSCSI adapters (initiators, targets) and related disks. The default value of this parameter is false.

  Note  

  • The discovery of iSCSI adapters using the Inventory Discovery by Scanner job requires UCMDB 10.22 CUP1 or later.
  • Only Windows servers (2008 and later versions) support this feature.
  • If the namespace root\microsoft\winodows\storage does not exist on devices, this feature cannot work.

• Added a new PowerCmd Protocol for Windows.

  The PowerCmd protocol provides a shell protocol based on the cmd.exe shell (similarly to NTCMD and UDA), only this protocol works via the PowerShell remoting capabilities of Windows. It allows the jobs designed to run under NTCMD or UDA to work via the PowerShell remoting Windows feature (also used by the PowerShell protocol).

• Added support for Oracle certificate-based authentication.

  Added the following settings in Generic DB Protocol (SQL):

  • Key Store File
  • Key Store Format Type
  • Key Store Password
  • Oracle Authentication Services
  • Trust Store Format Type
• Scanner version: 10.22.000.219
• Universal Discovery Agent version: 10.22.000.219
