Oracle renames GLAS
IT Asset Management version 2020 R2.1
Oracle has renamed its former License Management Service (LMS) as its Global Licensing
and Advisory Services (GLAS). Most references in IT Asset Management and its
documentation have been updated to reflect this change: for example, you now download
the OracleGLASEvidence.zip archive, automatically regenerated with
each overnight license compliance calculation, when you need to submit evidence for an
audit.
Tip: The output of the renamed archive relies on the download and
import of the appropriate InventorySettings.xml updates
provided through the ARL downloads (provided that you have licensed the FlexNet Manager for Datacenters product). You can check your current version of
InventorySettings.xml by inspecting the first line of the
file, and seeing the value of the
RevisionNumber
attribute. The
updates to the GLAS naming convention rely on at least version 56 or
later.However, some more deeply embedded cases of "LMS" remain visible. For example, if you examine the properties of an Oracle Database instance, several attributes required for the OracleGLASEvidence.zip archive still start with "LMS_", and there are other database objects and attributes where previous names have been maintained to avoid disruption.
