eight minor updates 12 new releases this week up from the past couple weeks and 12 release notes fails let's jump right into the episode and knock out those cattle compatibility updates I can't say the word um the compatibility update should show first if we Group by category here and let's take a look at those anomaly threat stream integration digital end user experience guard rails quality clouds field analysis service operations workspace core and up guard cyber risk all had updates moving them to Vancouver or Utah compatibility I did see some Utah compatibilities in there so you want to make note of those but that's what the compatibility ones were let's hold on to fix this for now let's go to the minor updates minor updates on this episode bit site for IT service management bit site for security Performance Management connector the kanban board component Network inventory Advanced Oracle E-Business Suite spoke dependencies screen meet TeamViewer Enterprise Integration and V brick video on demand all had minor updates since our last episode and then lastly on the the easy stuff to cover the release notes fails release notes fails if you haven't seen the show before is that there is no update or there's repeated release notes so I can't tell you what exactly changed other than that there's an update and I don't know if something changed and they didn't bother telling us so let's take a look at those um and yes servicenow is guilty of this too the search box combo box now this time series decision table Builder knowledge capabilities and UI Builder net and Rich connect Network inventory core open text CCM spoke or ECM and spoke process mining workspace components service operations workspace alert management service operations workspace itom apps service Channel facilities management and servicenow remote instance spokes all had or all were release notes fails and that brings us to the big category here the fixes let's go ahead and open that up and show you all these fixes now I'm just going to pull up this um just so you can see Amazon vpcs book I'm going to pull one of these up so you can see what I found when I was looking at these most of these fixes are from servicenow and they are related to Spokes and they all say fixed the license requirements so apparently there is a field on the application of record for these folks saying whether it's licensable or not and a lot of these folks got updated on September 7th or thereabouts with these notes and that's what makes up most of the fixes that you're going to see in this week's episode but let's go ahead and cover those right now access management automation Adobe science spoke AI search for next experience Amazon elastic container service spoke Amazon VPC spoke Asana

continuous process Improvement on the technical side create complex applications in weeks with pre-built nodes leverage machine learning artificial intelligence and robotic process out for automation or RPA they didn't abbreviate that one to drive efficient processes and maintain and evolve applications with low code development they did give us some screenshots we got a case study for the first screenshot what you can do with servicenow app engine for the second screenshot grouping by HR Finance government nonprofit retail Healthcare and then you can see the actual use cases there in the middle for each of those applications next and last screenshot I believe here is going to be the case study yeah so there's just two screenshots for this new application from Advanced Solutions core

Z systems and servicenow Via Kafka using the secured connection servicenow seem to be availability for configuration items Z systems discovered and produced in Kafka Integrations built using the capability of flow designer and servicenow platform from Kafka and transform into CIS I'd just like to highlight notice they built their integration with the flow designer one of my favorite apps uh secured connection using the Kafka Gateway service to generate token to retrieve records easy to use configuration tables and restricted access to ITIL users to avoid CI updation updation and service now I have never seen the word updation I don't know everything but I like it CI updation in servicenow will roll with it they do have some screenshots on this one let's take a look there's the menu for Z IBM Z Discovery uh easy to get to because it starts with z I like that here's the let's see IBM Mainframe zos lpars showing the models I guess for that or the servers or mainframes I don't know

take a look at these screenshots we've got a workspace um in procure to pay showing uh that impactor to pay this is the process mining workspace sorry um showing the procure to pay process I'm assuming there someone's created a process showing the goals and kpis paid invoices stuff like that here's the external data sets that they're bringing in uh since this is bringing in external data let's look at the fields for customer support looks like it's doing uh picking out the fields you want to import there's a procure to pay set of steps for importing that information and we're back to the workspace landing page for the summary and insights on the process mining it looks like this is by service now uh compatible with Vancouver only but process mining for external data all right next

don't know um this is uh uh this is not a new application actually I see right here there's other app versions uh oh no it came out okay this is interesting so um it came out on the seventh and it was drawn on the eighth inversion and they fixed uh updated the sap transport request files to allow integration blah blah blah okay so let's cover it since it's a new release let's cover what the new release is um I don't have uh the system key features so we will take a look here download and uh to fully advantage of the latest sap skill capabilities customers were required to import these dependency files into the system before using the spoke okay so this is the dependency files for the spoke I think there's another application um and so this is basically saying follow these
