2.0.0

Distribution Model Change: This version marks a significant milestone as the first release distributed exclusively through the ServiceNow Store and Application Manager (scoped application identifier x_nbl_cmdb, display name NetBox Labs CMDB Integration). All future updates will be delivered through ServiceNow's official distribution channels, ensuring better version control, automated updates, and improved compatibility verification.

Architectural Changes: Version 2.0.0 introduces fundamental changes to the application's data model and scope:

• Data Model Transformation:
  • v1.x stored NetBox-specific fields directly on base ServiceNow tables (cmdb_ci, cmn_location, cmdb_hardware_product_model, cmn_department, core_company)
  • v2.x centralizes all NetBox metadata in the new x_nbl_cmdb_netbox_attributes table using a 1:1 relationship model
  • Each ServiceNow record requiring NetBox integration has one corresponding row in the attributes table containing all NetBox-specific fields
  • This architecture provides better separation of concerns and eliminates the need to extend standard ServiceNow tables
• Application Scope Changes:
  • Updated application scope to align with ServiceNow Store requirements
  • Enhanced security and access controls
  • Improved namespace management

Migration Path:

• Back up your integration configuration and data before upgrading from v1.x to v2.x.
• During the v1.x to v2.x upgrade, the application migrates NetBox metadata from base-table fields to the x_nbl_cmdb_netbox_attributes table.
• See Upgrading Guide for upgrade steps and validation.

No New Features: This release focuses exclusively on architectural improvements and distribution model changes. All functionality from v1.4.0 is preserved and remains available in v2.0.0.
