Absolutely correct, there are so may current and future uses of these associations, ITSM apps really are only utilizing them currently for archive purposes (plus it gives customer a way to see the data model without having to investigate lots of code)

I setup some simple POC archiving for one of our custom apps. You are right, this feature is likely going to be huge. BMC already has some ideas around where they want to utilize this feature. The ITSM archiving doesn't even use it to its full potential (but does what it needs to). The out of the box ITSM archiving in 9.0 is just the tip of the iceberg.

I've only read the docs (haven't played with it yet), but this seem like a huge new feature, with possibilities way beyond just archiving (which is what the docs say its being used for). https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/ars9000/Associations+overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4v0X2SimKY Just curious what others thought, or if I'm nerd-ing out too much.
