This update introduces significant coverage changes that could adversely affect some customers. If these changes aren't reviewed in advance, they could affect customer environments. Please be aware and make any necessary adjustments.
Summary
Based on our analysis, the Manufacturer needs to be updated from DataStax to IBM
We have also consulted with the ARL team; the changes will be made from their end too. We will post an update on the community page.
Flexera will also migrate all associated products, releases, and mappings from the old product DataStax to IBM.
Impact
This change will impact on customers who rely on Technopedia Product ID/Release ID & Names or previously discovered data mapped to the old manufacturer will be mapped to the new manufacturer. The change needs the customer to manage downstream processes and reporting in their organization.
