  • 1.  Importing part numbers

    Posted 11/23/21 07:55 PM

    New to managing this product, and attempting to gather as much info as I can on how to specifically identify if we are in compliance. So with that does it make it easier to indicate what we are licensed for importing part numbers?

    Also our dashboard indicates that we are under 5% on most reported items.

    Any other tips on managing this would be appreciated, thanks!

    Part numbers that represent software products can be used to increase the accuracy of automated bundling by narrowing down the number of possible products to which a discovered component can be assigned.

    You can find more information on preparing and importing part numbers here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=numbers-preparing-part-file

    I suggest you open a case to address

    "our dashboard indicates that we are under 5% on most reported items"

    Okay thanks for the update, I was under the assumption that showing under 5% for all of the reporting metrics on the dashboard was a good thing.


    Thanks again!
