Remember that as of 7.5 when you create/ modify a CTM:People record a
new BMC_Person is created in the Sandbox then reconciled into
BMC_Person. We found out when we ran our People update job and ground
the system to a halt due to the reconciliation job running "inline"
instead of "scheduled".

Subject: Audit Log data

 

** 

We are in the process of testing the move of all necessary data from an
ITSM 7.0 system to an ITSM 7.6 system, which we will have to do again or
at least update prior to moving the 7.6 system into production.  Several
of the tables with data are the three aliased identically (by some
clueless BMC programmer(s)) as "HelpDesk System Audit Log" - they are
really CTM:AuditLogSystem, HPD:HelpDesk_AuditLogSystem, and
CHG:ChangeRequest_AuditLogSystem.  The HPD one has 193 K records, and
the CTM one has over 2 million records.  We don't use Change enough for
those records to matter (138 of them).

 

Does anyone have a feel for how abandon-able this data is???  We have
been studying it, and don't really see any utility in bringing it
forward.  We have never used it for anything, so I don't think we're
going to miss it - unless doing so breaks something in the plumbing.
The act of importing our CTM:People data generated one NEW
CTM:AuditLogSystem record for every person imported or updated (rrrchive
overwrite moved 214,966 records); bringing in the data from the source
server would overwrite that, but why bother at all??  At this point,
those 2 million-plus records look expendable to me.

 

Any thoughts from the list??
