This was a fairly hot topic at BUW, it seems a lot of people would like to use the CI Viewer from CMDB 2.0 without having to upgrade to ITSM 7.
However, nothing was promised at all by BMC, there was no "official" announcement that I'm aware of. It was merely a discussion topic. It may be something that BMC are now working on based on the BUW feedback, but that's about all I took away from it. As far as the effort goes, it will obviously vary but CMDB 1.1 - CMDB 2.0 will be a lot simpler than ITSM 6 - ITSM 7.

I know that works. So let's proceed to the real unknown: The CMDB 2.0/ITSM 6 relationship. The word I heard was that there was no *official* integration between the two, though they may offer a way to do that sometime. But consider the architecture - what's different about CMDB 1.x and 2.0? The CDM. It seems to me that if you're willing to modify (if necessary) your mapping from your ITSM 6 apps to the CMDB 2.0 CDM, and update your interfaces to the CMDB, specifically from the Asset console, I can't think of a reason it could not work. Is it potentially labor intensive? Yes. Is it impossible? I think not. Is it worth the effort? That's up to you. The only potential glitches I see are potential ones with some executables, but I think that could be dealt with. The problem is that I don't know anyone who's actually done it.

Is it correct? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Response from "You-Know-Who": Unfortunately I do not have any documentation which verifies that ITSM 6 will work with CMDB 2.0. I have checked the compatibility matrix and we have no official compatibilty for ITSM 6.0 and CMDB 2.0. If and when we receive a statement of compatibility and a whitepaper we will be able to assist with this configuration. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Regards, ii ________________________________________________________________________ ____ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org ________________________________________________________________________ _______ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org ********************************************************************** The information in this e-mail is confidential and may be legally privileged.
