Enhancements

The following table lists the enhancements that were implemented in CMS 2018.08.

Global ID Module Enhancement request Solution

QCCR1H122036

QCCR1Hxxxxxxxxx

Integration - Integration Adapters

This is a request for improving UCMDB to UCMDB data push for reconciliation when auto-deletion is enabled. When a CI is deleted from a TQL on the source UCMDB (for example, the Node CI in the following TQL), the UCMDB to UCMDB data push only deletes the target Node CI when Allow Deletion is enabled, instead of deleting the entire TQL query from the target UCMDB.

Implemented the enhancement by applying a code change to the UCMDB to UCMDB data push logic. Now when Allow Deletion is enabled, only target CI is deleted during UCMDB to UCMDB data push if the CI in the TQL is deleted from the source UCMDB.
QCCR1H121649 CMS UI - Assisted Modeling It is difficult to navigate complex models. Added the possibility to group the CIs in a module by CI Type.
QCCR1H112257 CMS UI - Assisted Modeling This is a request to have the possibility to drill down to the related CIs in the Assisted Modeling module, and also to have the ability to edit an existing model in a user friendly way.

Added the possibility to view in the model only the CIs directly related to a selected CI (as defined by the selected template).

QCCR1H121039 CMS UI - LDAP Manager This is a request for adding chunking to support object limit retrieval in LDAP Manager. When the LDAP server has a size limit configured for the search results, the two newly added LDAP server settings allow you to properly configure the LDAP sever so that all the LDAP entries can be successfully retrieved. For more information, see Number of users requested from the LDAP server in CMS UI Help.
QCCR1H120951 CMS UI - LDAP Manager This is a request for adding the ability for Search elements under LDAP Manager to look up objects not only by the 'CN' attribute but also by the 'UID' attribute. Added the capability to search for an LDAP user by its user unique ID (UID).
QCCR1H119100 CMS UI - Reports This is a request for the possibility to view a scheduled report status in CMS UI. Added the possibility to view the execution status, last execution time, and next execution time for a scheduled report.

QCCR1H102618

CMS Idea Exchange

Universal Discovery - Probe Framework

This is a request for having the LastDiscoveryTime or LastScanTime attribute which represents the last time a CI got discovered.

Added the following new attributes that will be assigned to any discovered CI: LastDiscoveredBy, LastDiscoveredByProbe, and LastDiscoveredTime. With these attributes you can know exactly when each device in your system was last detected by our discovery, and how it was detected, ensuring you are always compliant with your discovered data. For details, see Configuration Item Properties Dialog Box.
QCCR1E119548 CM - SM Integration CI relationship deletion is not been populated to UCMDB. In the Adapter Mapping file (for example, SM Adapter), the relationshipuniquename label must be added for relationship attribute. In upper case the value of relationshipuniquename will uniquely identify this relationship. The format is <Upstream_CI_ID>_<RelationType>_<Downstream_CI_ID>, for example, CI1000313_Containment_CI10000316.
QCCR1H117931 Enterprise Readiness - Installation This is a request to avoid additional steps while installing new Inventory Discovery Knowledge packages and base SAI is required from most recent Content Pack. The one required file should be downloadable in conjunction with the package. The full master SAIs are now provided with the Inventory Discovery Knowledge Packs starting from the July 2018 release.
