Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to perform an integration between ITAM with SmartTrack directly instead of a SAM installation?

Environment

Release : 4.3

Component : CA SOFTWARE ASSET MANAGER

Resolution

SAM is a derivative product based on Aspera SmartTrack.  However SAM introduces additional web services updates that are included on top of SmartTrack which allow the data transfer functionality to work. Without the web services additions that are supplied in a SAM installation, it is not possible for ITAM/APM to transfer its data content over to a purely SmartTrack implementation.
