# Release Notes for Version 10.1 (Beta)

Product: Open iT Software
Release Date: 2024-May-03

# Introduction

The Open iT Software Suite is further improved in this beta release, including new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

# New Features

#36635

The Open iT Shared Software Assets Directory (SSAD) is a central repository for software information and its normalized format. It plays a crucial role in Open iT’s ServiceNow integration by automatically distributing a standard software catalog for data normalization that ensures report accuracy in the ServiceNow for Engineering Dashboard.

SSAD is hosted in the Open iT Customer Portal. An SSAD connector application in the Core Server facilitates communication between the Customer Portal and the Core Server.

First, the Core Server extracts and transfers inventory data to query the SSAD database. This query information is created as an inventory data type, (142) Software Catalog Query Info. SSAD uses this data type to get the necessary files to produce the following data types with normalized data:

  • (143) Normalized License Total Concurrency
  • (144) Normalized License User Host Concurrency
  • (145) Normalized License Maxed Out

These data types are loaded to the Analysis Server, by default. The ServiceNow Adapter (an Analysis Server plug-in) will fetch and process data from the SQL database, then send the processed data to the ServiceNow instance.
