-   **[Filter software results using an encoded query in TLM](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-portfolio-management/use-tpm-encoded-query.md)**  
Use an encoded query to control which software products appear in the **Lifecycle Timeline** view of a business application. By default, TLM tracks only licensable software. Set the encoded query system property to include non-licensable software and limit results.
-   **[Update TPM data for a business application or application service](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-portfolio-management/update-tpm-data.md)**  
Manually update the Technology Lifecycle Management \(TLM\) lifecycle data for software and hardware models in your business applications and application services.
-   **[Restart the Populate TPM Discovered Technologies and Lifecycles job](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-portfolio-management/eaw-restart-tpm-scheduled-job.md)**  
You can restart the **Populate TPM Discovered Technologies and Lifecycles** job if it encounters any interruptions or failures.
-   **[View technology lifecycle details](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-portfolio-management/eaw-view-tech-lifecycle.md)**  
View Technology Lifecycle Management \(TLM\) lifecycle timelines in Enterprise Architecture Workspace to track product’s lifecycle phases.
-   **[View TPM risk details](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-portfolio-management/eaw-view-tech-risk.md)**  
Use Technology Lifecycle Management \(TLM\) risk data for software products that are facing high and moderate technology risks.
-   **[Update the system property to gather software products from a CMDB table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-portfolio-management/eaw-update-system-property-gather-software-cmdb.md)**  
You can optionally customize the default values of the **sn\_apm\_tpm.configurationItemsWithSoftwareInstalls** system property, to capture the details of Technology Lifecycle Management \(TLM\) software products that aren’t stored in the default CMDB tables, Computer \(CMDB\_CI\_Computer\) and all similar instances of the table, Docker Container \(CMDB\_CI\_Docker\_Container\), and Serverless Hardwares \(CMDB\_CI\_Serverless\_Hardware\).
-   **[View technology portfolio audit risk details](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-portfolio-management/eaw-view-audit-risk-details.md)**  
Use the Enterprise Architecture Workspace to view audit risk details for your technology portfolio and identify items that require attention.
-   **[View TPM logs](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-portfolio-management/eaw-view-tpm-logs.md)**  
Track the progress of Technology Lifecycle Management \(TLM\) analysis by examining the TPM Discovered Technology Run Logs \[sn\_apm\_tpm\_discovered\_technology\_run\_log\] table. Each time the analysis is run, an entry is added to this table.
-   **[Run a scheduled job to populate Technology Lifecycle Management lifecycle record identifier](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-portfolio-management/eaw-run-job-to-populate-tpm-lifecycle-identifier.md)**  
Run the Populate Number field in TPM Discovered Technologies job to populate missing Technology Lifecycle Management \(TLM\) lifecycle record identifiers.
-   **[Run a scheduled job to generate TLM lifecycle data](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-portfolio-management/eaw-run-scheduled-job-update-tpm-data.md)**  
Run a scheduled job to fetch the technology lifecycle data for your technology portfolio.
-   **[Schedule a job to generate TLM technology risk](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-portfolio-management/eaw-schedule-job-generate-tpm-risk.md)**  
Run the **Populate Technology Lifecycle Risks** scheduled job to generate the Technology Lifecycle Management \(TLM\) technology lifecycle risks and populate the TPM Technology Lifecycle Risks \[sn\_apm\_tpm\_technology\_risk\] table.
