Ray, I'm with you : CMDB is a multi-headed, fire breathing beast.
I am currently taking the Web Based Training class: "Welcome to BMC Atrium CMDB 7.5: Administering - Part 1". It is 8 hours long. I have to say it is helping me learn the basics. If you take it: 1) Don't even think of completing it in one day. 2) Plan to view modules more than once (there are 8) & 3) If you don't like the pace, turn off the sound, select the Transcripts tab & read rather than listen. A PDF of the CMDB CDM 7.5.00 diagram is also provided. I ordered every BMC manual with the words "CDMB" or "Atrium" in the title. Remember, the first copy of every book is free. I use these in conjunction with the digital versions. Finally, I plan to just keep reading, poking around Atrium & talking with others until I get it. I may need to be reincarnated.

This is one beast unique in the Remedy platform that I am yet to conquer. As far as I am concerned, i'ts like a tumor that I didn't pay attention to when it was small and now it feels it has progressed beyond control. Suggestions on learning path? Sequence of books from BMC support site, trainings? I can do Web Based Training, would prefer not to do class-based trainings for now now. The objective is to start with basic understanding, some administration. Would eventually like to progress to architecture/design. Thanks in advance. ________________________________________________________________________ _______ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
