automation scripts and improved file management as well as enhancements for deploying software to
your IT assets.
Enhanced integration with IBM Endpoint Manager to deploy software
automatically
This release includes integration enhancements that let you integrate with
IBM Endpoint Manager to automatically
deploy software to your users. Users can request software in the offering catalog or enterprise app
store in the Self Service Center in
IBM® Control
Desk.
IBM Endpoint Manager then deploys the software
directly to the user's computer,
Control Desk allocates the appropriate license,
and updates your software license inventory. You no longer have to download content from the ISM
Library to implement this integration.

integration for software deploymentAutomation scripts for integration simplify the customization of integration
processing
You can use automation scripts in place of Java™ classes to apply custom logic at various points during the processing of
object structures, publish channels, enterprise services, and invocation channels. Automation
scripts are available for use immediately, without a requirement to rebuild and redeploy Java classes, and are easier to upgrade.

integration
In complex installations, the use of a global directory for integration-related
files can be difficult to manage. You can continue to use the global directory, or you can configure
other directories to suit your requirements. For more information about upgrading, see
Upgrade Resources in the
IBM Control
Desk wiki.
