Re: Tier 3 for the product catalog
Thank you Peter. Do you know if there is a source of data that we can utilize in order to manually alter most used applications?

Re: Tier 3 for the product catalog
Sorry Mike, I'm not aware of one. I can't see a way of getting the Tier 3 values for each of the software patterns from ADDM otherwise this could be a good start. Maybe there's an ADDM expert lurking out there that could do this? I was hoping that the new BMC product catalog data would help with this but it continues to keep Tier 3 the same for all entries. The more interesting attribute is 'Market Version' that allows software to be grouped for license management purposes. I'm guessing that this will need to be set per customer as license agreements are often customer specific. Cheers Peter Thank you Peter.
