Hi All, We are working on creating an utility (engineering focused whitepaper and some Def files) to allow customers who have invested in ITSM 6.0 to leverage new enhancements in BMC Atrium CMDB 2.0.01 without having to migrate to ITSM 7 right away.
This will allow a phased approach to eventual ITSM 7 rollout. This will also give customers an opportunity to use the latest versions of BMC Solutions such as Configuration Management and Configuration Discovery, which support integration with BMC Atrium CMDB 2.x. As you could see from emails earlier in this thread, a restricted release of this is already available. We expect GA of this in next few weeks. Meanwhile, please work with your sales/support contacts to get more information. Thanks Anand Ahire, Product Manager, BMC Software, ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Hanson Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 2:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Upgrading to CMDB 2.0 We've let our reps know what we're trying to do, and they'll be working with us as planning moves forward.

Its built to tie with the OOTB ITSM 7 application involving Product Categorization and Location information with the base class (BMC_BaseElement). I guess BMC does say that CMDB 2.0 has a backward compatibility with ITSM 6.0, however you would have to analyze the amount of effort it would take to customize an application like CMDB with an additional cost of maintaining the existing relationships with ITSM 6.0 Hope this helps Regards, Roney Samuel Varghese On 5/24/07, Rick Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: ** It's not that it isn't compatible per se, it's just that you probably don't want to go to the work it would take to map ITSM 6 to CMDB 2.x, especially since you would be on the bleeding edge the whole time. It would be far worse going the other way, BTW.

That's what I was afraid of, although we were assured that 2.0 was compatible with HD 6... Thanks for the info, it gives me some leverage to use with management.

That's not a hard and fast requirement, as you could map them the other way, but it would be a quite large and complex task, because the 2.x CDM is about 40% smaller than the 1.x CDM, and ITSM 6 isn't wired to talk to the correct classes in CMDB 2.x. Remedy promised a white paper describing the mappings - about 6 months ago - but I haven't seen it yet, and I really don't expect to.

Management has asked me to get more information about how to go from CMDB 1.1 to 2.0. Is there a white paper available, or does anyone have any tips, pitfalls, suggestions, warnings, or other information they would send my way on how to make the jump to 2.0? We do not want to jump to ARS 7 or Help Desk 7 at this time, we only want to upgrade the CMDB installation.
