Sentinel Vendor License Identification with SMT Versions

Introduction​

Configure sentinel-products.map to identify which Sentinel vendor licenses contain features with SMT Versions. The Feature Version "SMT" is the sum of all feature versions.

warning

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT Core Server.

Configuring sentinel-products.map​

  1. Open sentinel-products.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

    Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.

  2. Specify the Sentinel vendor licenses with the following syntax:

    Mapping Syntax
    MAP: <SENTINEL_VENDORLICENSE>
    *;sentinel

    Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-whitespace character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported, allowing you to use several globbing patterns; however, remember that they are slower than exact matches. To make your mapping files more effective and efficient, refer to the Optimizing Rules to Speed Up Rename or Mapping page.

    In the mapping file, entries are case-insensitive, meaning that capitalization variations, such as 'VendorLicense' and 'vendorlicense', will be recognized as identical. Also, note that leading and trailing spaces are removed from entries.

    Example
    MAP: SentinelVendorLicense1    
    *;sentinel

    You can also include custom configurations in this mapping file, such as default mapping, setting date limits on specific mapping entries, or creating nested maps.

  3. Save the changes.

This mapping may affect the following data types:
