Just as a note the following doc is quite useful when it comes to mapping your data to CMDB classes:
* Mapping your data to BMC Atrium CMDB 2.1.00 Classes.pdf (it comes as part of the CMDB installation) Also this link is quite helpful in describing the purpose of the classes etc, http://www.javasystemsolutions.com/documentation/thirdparty/cdm/schema.h tml From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thad K Esser Sent: 11 September 2008 03:02 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Modeling ITSM 7.0.3 in the CMDB 2.1 CDM ** Hi, I've been to CMDB training and am still wrapping my head around which classes get used for what. Some are obvious, some not so much. I figured it would be good to see how something I'm familiar with (i.e. Remedy) would fit into the common data model. Has anyone seen any white papers or other documentation that specifically shows how BMC would classify their own products into the CMDB? What I envision is a picture (I like pictures) of everything starting at sample hardware, going to ARS, through the ITSM apps, and on up to an appropriate sample Business Service. I'm still digging through the online docs and BMCDN, but figured someone here might have had the same thought and already found it.
