Affected instance(s):
OOTB Instance with plugin "Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns" 1.0.65

The OOTB pre-sensor script is put in non-existing domain and in wrong Application "Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns"

Workaround
> Regarding Application Scope of the pre post sensor:
The pre-sensor is using Script Include named MakeAndModelJS, which is in global and is accessible only from it's own scope.
This is the reason for failure of pre-sensor execution as it resides in different scope.
In latest releases MakeAndModelJS is changed to "Accessible from all application scope". This change is present Orlando and is going to be pushed in NP-10.
After this change from NP-10, the change of application scope is not required, as this script is part of store family. Hence as part of this PRB, only Domain will be corrected.
> Regarding Domain of the pre post sensor:
This should be set to global. This issue is fixed in this PRB
