Guided setup
The guided setup for the Service Graph Connector for Microsoft SCCM
provides an organized sequence of tasks to configure the integration on
your instance. To access the guided setup, see Configure Service Graph
Connector for Microsoft SCCM.
Note: When you install and configure the Service Graph Connector
for Microsoft SCCM, only active SG-SCCM data sources will be
configured with credentials or MID configuration during the guided
setup. If a Software Asset Management plugin is enabled after
the connector has been installed, any additional SAM-related data
sources will not be configured with credentials and will not function
correctly. In this scenario, in order for these new SAM-related
data sources to function correctly, you must go back into the
guided setup for SG-SCCM and re-enter the credentials and MID
configuration.
The Integration Commons for CMDB store app provides a dashboard with
a central view of the status, processing results, and processing errors of all
installed integrations. You can see metrics for all integration runs. You can
filter the view to a specific CMDB integration, a specific time duration,
or a specific integration run. For more details about monitoring Microsoft
SCCM integrations in the CMDB Integrations Dashboard, see Using the
CMDB Integrations Dashboard.
Data mapping
Data from the SCCM data sources is mapped and transformed into
the ServiceNow CMDB Configuration Item (CI) class definitions using the
Robust Transform Engine (RTE). Data is inserted into the ServiceNow®
CMDB using the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE).
• Asset Tag. If the Asset Tag data is available, the mapping can be
optionally enabled via the guided setup.

If you are upgrading to the Service Graph connector for Microsoft SCCM,
the following steps are mandatory. The steps must be executed in any
instance with an existing install of the Microsoft SCCM 2016 plugin or with

Procedure
1. (Optional) If you are migrating from the SCCM 2016 plugin, then run
the Migration Readiness Tool for Service Graph connector for SCCM.
The tool does not migrate any changes, but runs a series of ATF tests
to identify any customizations that were done to the legacy SCCM
2016 plugin compared to the OOB SCCM 2016 plugin. It will not
migrate the changes between the two plugins, but serves to alert
any customizations.
2. After the tool has finished running, review the tests that were failed.
A failed test means that a customization was made in the plugin.
The customization could be a transform map. For example, if a
transform map was modified, then it needs to be reimplemented in
the connector.
