Precisely Ironstream z/OS Software Discovery extends ServiceNow’s abilities to include mission-critical IBM Z (mainframe) environments. Using Ironstream z/OS Software Discovery, you can quickly configure and launch secure, automated discovery of z/OS software installed via SMP/E across your mainframe landscape.
The solution collects detailed inventory of installed software products and components, then auto-populates and maintains the ServiceNow Configuration Management Database (CMDB) for complete and up-to-date visibility.
This enables ServiceNow administrators and mainframe platform owners to ensure accurate software records for compliance, audit readiness, and operational efficiency by reducing manual effort and improving data quality for IT and asset management teams.
The Ironstream z/OS Software Discovery solution is a paid application. It requires the purchase of the ServiceNow Discovery for IBM Z client and agent to enable secure and comprehensive mainframe software discovery.
- Scheduled z/OS Software Discovery: Detect and inventory installed software across IBM™ Z LPARs automatically.
- SMP/E Data Source Support: Collect software information from SMP/E, with future expansion to additional z/OS sources.
- Integration with Software Asset Management (SAM)
