Fix: Allow users with the cmdb_read role to view SDLC Component CIs The **itil** role is required to access SDLC Components. The APM **sn_apm.apm_user** role includes the **cmdb_read** role but not the **itil** role. As a result, users with the APM role could not search for and link **SDLC Components** in the APM relationship table at the Digital Interface level. Previously, if an APM user lacks read access to SDLC Components, the related list for linking SDLC Components and interfaces is not displayed. In this release the **cmdb_read** role is added to the access control layers of the SDLC Component. As a result, APM users with read access to SDLC Components can link interfaces with SDLC Components.

Operational Technology notes
- New:
  - New class: 'OT System Service' [cmdb_ci_ot_system_service] extending the Calculated Application Service [cmdb_ci_service_calculated] table.
  - Description: OT is a category of technology and systems used to manage, control, and monitor physical processes, machinery, and industrial operations. Operational Technology (OT) systems are specialized computing systems used in industrial and critical infrastructure settings to monitor, control, and automate physical processes. The systems encompass a wide range of devices, including industrial control systems (ICS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other components tailored to specific industries such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, and utilities.
  - OT systems are essential for ensuring the efficient and safe operation of industrial processes, enabling organizations to manage production lines, power grids, and so on. OT systems facilitate real-time monitoring of equipment, data collection from sensors, control of machinery, and automation of tasks. OT systems enhancing productivity, safety, and reliability in industrial operations. OT systems (logical groupings of devices) also supervise production processes. OT systems become the central element of consideration for OT engineers.
  - Examples:
    - Distributed Control system (DCS)
    - Building management system (BMS)
    - Manufacturing execution system (MES)
- Improvements:
  - Added suggested relationships between the OT System Service class and the Equipment Model Entity, Hardware, Technical Service, and Business Service classes.
  - You can now view an OT dependency map on the OT system service form both in the platform and in the Industrial workspace.
  - You can now bulk-validate NIDS records from the list view.
  - Improvements to sync IP addresses of OT CIs from the [cmdb_ci_ip_address] table to the 'IP Address' field on the CI. You can therefore now use IP address to add devices to an equipment model entity.
  - You can now map ISA entities to OT System Services using a scheduled job.
  - Added a related entry in the backup storage information [cmdb_backup_storage_information] table for the 'Operational Technology (OT)' and 'OT control module' identification rules.
  - Created the Operational Technology (OT) view on the Industrial workspace. The OT view is available to users with the OT role (cmdb_ot_*). Created OT views for the forms of
    - Request [sc_request]
    - Request Item [sc_req_item] list with columns that are used in the Industrial Workspace list.
    - Related lists of Request Item [sc_req_item] and Catalog Task [sc_task], including all fields required for OT use cases.
    - The OT view displays CI forms with columns and related lists that reflect the OT context.
    - The OT view includes backup storage information [cmdb_backup_storage_information] as a related list for CI forms.
  - Removed the Opened date column from OT Incident [sn_ot_incident] lists for the Operational Technology (OT) view in the Industrial workspace.
- Fixed:
  - Removed a duplicate "Read only fields" UI policy from the [cmdb_ci_nids] table.

    - Deprecated obsolete fields
      - Deprecated the 'Topology' field from logical connection and physical connection entities. The change simplifies the data model structure by removing fields that no longer serve a purpose.
  - Fixed:
    - Access control
      - Put all necessary ACLs in place for network topology nodes. The change strengthens the security and integrity of the system.
    - Data integration and consistency
      - Ensured that all related entry IRE rules are correctly applied to connection elements and physical connection elements tables. The change ensures proper data relationships, consistency, and integration.
    - Organizational improvements for sys_choice definitions
      - Moved 'sys_choice' definitions from the update folder to the dictionary folder. The correction improves overall system organization and maintainability.
    - Format of domain values
      - Added scripts to ensure that domain values are consistently and accurately converted from string format to domain_id. The action addresses prior inconsistencies and improves the reliability of domain-related data.
    - Removed deprecated fields from UI
      - Removed deprecated fields (such as 'Topology') from forms where they were previously still visible. The update ensures that the UI accurately reflects the current data model.

Fixed: Updating Auth API from '/uapi/auth/tokens' to '/api/v1/auth/token' for JAMF Pro 10.35 or higher.

- Transmission Control Unit (TCU) [cmdb_ci_transmission_control_unit] - In a 2G radio network the transmission control unit (TCU) encodes and decodes speech and handles data rate adaptation. Because the air interface requires that all speech be digitized at certain rates, the transmission rate is 13 kbits/s. Since the accepted rate is usually 64 kbits/s within the network the signal must be translated. This translation is performed by the TCU.
- Voice Switch [cmdb_ci_voice_switch] - Represents a large-scale computer system that is used to switch Time Division Multiplexer (TDM)-based, circuit-switched telephone calls.

- Mobile Switching Center (MSC) Category
Fixed: The following bugs are fixed in this release:
- Added missing TNI-related IRE rules to the cmdb_ci_cloud_service_account and cmdb_ci_hyper_v_cluster classes. They were missed in the last December release.
- Updated UI alignment for Site, Equipment, Card, Interface, and Connection forms, and added class descriptions for Cable, Strands, and other TNI classes. Also added missing ACLs for cmdb_network_topology_root_node.
- Realigned the UI for cmdb_ci_ni_interface CI classes. This removes extra white spaces from the UI by realigning the widgets.
- Fixed the 'Configuration Item' label on the Configuration Item (cmdb_ci) table. The label had been incorrectly translated with the local word for 'Asset'.

New:
- Added a new hosting rule to Kubernetes Component [cmdb_ci_kubernetes_component] that enables you to use the CMDB to model Kubernetes resources that don't have a class of their own.
- Added arelated entity IRE rule to the tables in the non-CMDB TNI CI Attributes [tni_entity] table used by the Network Inventory application when the application is installed.
- New CMDB CI tables:
  - Database Catalog [cmdb_ci_db_catalog]
  - SAP Hana Catalog [cmdb_ci_db_hana_catalog]

- KML route

Fixed:
- Long Vancouver upgrade times caused by unnecessary indexes in Unmatched API Endpoint [cmdb_ci_unmatched_api_endpoint] and API [cmdb_ci_api].
- CMDB CI field not getting populated in Cloud Cost Management due to reconciliation of Kubernetes cluster records with the same name. This fix adds a new IRE rule to the Kubernetes cluster that checks both the name and cluster resouce ID.

- The Network Topologies IRE rule on the Network Topology [cmdb_ci_network_topology] class no longer shows with errors when you only install the CMDB CI Class Models app without the TNI store app. The rule now only appears when TNI is also installed on your ServiceNow application.

This identifier includes a string value that identifies the unique Network Partition for the IP address. By extending the model and associated Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE) rules, overlapping IP addresses existing in different network partitions can be identified and maintained as separate CIs. Ensure you are running Orlando Patch 10 (or later) or Paris Patch 6 (or later) to include this fix.
