Let's see: 1. Cut back on the number of BMC applications you buy and install, with a goal of keeping your object count down. 2. Buy someone else's application that does the same things with far less code. 3. Build your own custom apps and keep the code tighter than a tick. I think the custom shops are the ones most likely to suffer a severe degradation of their work environment if they lose the ability to see related workflow. Those of us on ITSM just have to suffer, and put the monkey back on BMC's back to fix all of the broken stuff for us. We found something really stupid broken in Incident just last week (it's been released code for HOW long???), and rather than try to troubleshoot it myself without a search db, I dumped it on them immediately; they had a fix for it the following day - one that isn't in any patch through 006. I guess that is the new model for packaged apps.

I wish I could see "related workflow" it would make it easier to trace things. So is there no way around this?
