Can you provide an example of when you use the Asset Lifecycle Status in a reconciliation job. I have never had a customer include this in their request of fields used in the Identity or Merge jobs.

BMC, in its infinite wisdom, decided to disperse a lot of fields that were once on BMC.CORE:BMC_BaseElement to BMC.CORE:BMC_ComputerSystem and a new form AST:Atributes. Additionally, they renamed BMC.CORE:BMC_ComputerSystem AssetLifecycleStatus to simply Status. The AST:ComputerSystem form that once was backed up by BMC_ComputerSystem (BaseElement + BMC_ComputerSystem_) now has Status pointed to the new AST:Attributes form. So what now happens is that when you update the status of a CI on AST:ComputerSystem, it updates AST:Attrbutes, which is where Status comes from, but there seems to be no mechanism(AL, filters) to update the other forms’ Status, particularly BMC.CORE:BMC_ComputerSystem, hence BaseElement. From a CMDB perspective, this is a problem is you have Reconciliation jobs that depend on BMC.CORE:BMC_ComputerSystem.AssetLifecyclestatus(now called status), your jobs will not work because it never gets updated. Has anyone else run into this problem? Did BMC fix it for you? I opened a ticket with my support organization. So it will be few weeks before BMC gets back to us with requests for logs. Just when we had the CMDB tuned the way we want it in 7.6.04, they have to mess with it again. So much for the easy upgrade.
