Hi Jason,
The class manager adds ur field to the BMC:BMC_ComputerSystem_ form. To show it on ur BMC:BMC_ComputerSystem and AST:ComputerSystem forms, you can
right click these 2 join forms and select the field you want to include.
Once it shows up on the AST form, just position it wherever you
want.
Avoid using the cmdb2asset utility unless you are
creating a new class altogether.
Regards,
Murtuza.

Subject: Asset 6 customizations and CMDB
I have CMDB 1.1 and ITSM 6 with Asset Management. I haven't had a chance to go to CMDB training yet so I am learning as I go. Since asset management sits on top of the CMDB are there any issues or gotchas modifying the AST forms directly?
For instance I added a new attribute to the Computer System class (Char field) using the class manager (not bad, the only custom data field we needed from AM 4). Now I need the new field to show up on AST:ComputerSystem.
Since it is an AM form can I just add it to the AST join form in the admin tool without any problems?
Is there any metadata that goes along with the AM module or just CMDB?
Is making changes to the AST forms and workflow just like modifying a join form and workflow in the good old days?
Deleting the AST form and using the CMDB2Asset utility to recreate it just doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. As far as I have see so far the AM module is just added functionality to the CMDB but does not affect the CMDB itself (other then the data being stored in the CMDB).
Thanks,
Jason
