Migration Issues

Per default, Alfabet 11.8 includes out-of-the-box integration to IT-Pedia® from Eracent. IT-Pedia is a comprehensive IT product library that provides an up-to-date source of data about IT products of all types including, for example, hardware, software, and network devices. For customers migrating to Alfabet 11.8.1 who have not licensed IT-Pedia® from Eracent, the IT-Pedia functionalities should be disabled.

A new variable is available to add to the Variables tab in the server alias definition. The Variable Name must be set to Enable_ITPedia and the Variable Value must be set to false. In this case, all functionalities to import and synchronize IT-Pedia products with components in the Alfabet repository will be disabled and not displayed in the user interface.
