Data transformation for the patch orchestration integration with HCL BigFix
Data is retrieved from the Vulnerability Response patch orchestration with HCL BigFix integration, processed through a set of data sources, and transformed in your ServiceNow AI Platform® instance.
BigFix Collection import
The data from the imported assets (computers and computer groups) are loaded into the BigFix Collection Import [sn_vul_bigfix_collection_import] table. The BigFix Computer and Computer Groups Import TM (transform map?) is used to transform the imported information.
Note: Changes to this transform map alter how data from the BigFix Collection import is processed.
To access this transform map, navigate to System Import Sets > Transform Maps and locate BigFix Computer and Computer Groups Import TM. The following table lists the transform map fields by integration.
|
Script |
Description |
|---|---|
|
OnStart (when an import set has created transformation). |
Script used to initialize the values in the scope variable [sn_vul_bigfix] for the integration process. This script is for internal use and should not be modified or deleted. |
|
onBefore (before an import set has completed transformation). |
Script used to create and update CIs based on CI Lookup Rules and collections as well as relation between them. Based on the results, this script modifies the values in the scope variable [sn_vul_bigfix]. This script is for internal use and should not be modified or deleted. |
|
onComplete (when an import set has completed transformation). |
Script that is used to set the number of CIs created, updated, and ignored. This script is for internal use and should not be modified or deleted. |
