This topic lists new features and changes introduced in each release of the Service Graph Connector for HCL BigFix.

Version 1.9.1

Bug Fixes

  • Software Usage Import Job imports no data from BFI 11.0.8 and later

    Issue: In Service Graph Connector for BigFix (SGC) 1.9.0 with HCL BigFix Inventory (BFI) 11.0.8 or later, the Software Usage Import Job completes without processing any records.

    BFI 11.0.8 changed the format of the usage_data payload in the Software Usage API response from an object to an array of objects. SGC 1.9.0 does not support the new format.

    Resolution: SGC 1.9.1 supports the new usage_data format. The Software Usage Import Job now processes usage data from BFI 11.0.8 and later.

    If you use SGC 1.9.0 with BFI 11.0.8 or later:

    1. Upgrade to SGC 1.9.1.
    2. Re-run the Software Usage Import Job to import the missed usage data.

    SGC 1.9.1 supports BFI 11.0.8 and later. If you use BFI 11.0.7, continue to use SGC 1.9.0. If you upgrade BFI to 11.0.8 or later, upgrade SGC to 1.9.1 as well.

Version 1.9.0

Version 1.9.0 is now compliant with ServiceNow's latest SGC Central framework.

New Features

  • Software Usage import from BigFix Inventory

    You can now import Software Usage data directly from HCL BigFix Inventory into ServiceNow. The imported data populates Software Usage records in ServiceNow automatically.

    A dedicated job also runs automatically to remove Software Usage details for inactive, uninstalled, or decommissioned software inventories.

    For more details, see Software Usage.

Bug Fixes

  • Script error no longer blocks the Software Removal job

    A script error that caused the Software Removal job to fail has been fixed. The error appeared in the updateTransformHistory function of the BigFixRemoveSoftwareSetCompareUtil script include and prevented the job from completing. The fix ensures the job runs without errors.
