Hi Rick,

  Either scenario may be possible.  White papers are released under a different process than products.  Thus they can be released independently of each other.

Thanks, but that wasn't my question.  My question was whether the ITSM 6 integration white paper will be released as part of the CMDB 2.0.1 release, or at some time subsequent to it.

Correct.  The white paper would expect a customer to be upgrading from CMDB 1.1 to CMDB 2.0.01 and provide information on how to do so.

Hmmm...seems as though I may have assumed something that may not be true.  A clarification question, if you please.

 

The promised white paper on integrating CMDB with ITSM 6.0 has always been advertised as being predicated on the CMDB 2.0.1 release, not specifically as part of that release.  Can you say whether it is planned that the white paper itself will or will not be part of the 2.0.1 release?  If it is not, can you speculate on the time window in which we can expect it?

ITSM 6.0 supported on CMDB 2.0 was informally announced at BMC UserWorld
(if not before).  The white paper that will announce it officially and
describe how to do it is still under development.  Such compatibility or
support should apply to 2.0.x (i.e. it would apply to CMDB 2.0.01).

Hi David,

Is there any official (as official as you can be pre-release) about CMDB
2.0.01 compatibility with version 6 of Asset, Help Desk and Change
Management? I just did a fresh install for what will be production
environment but I may dump it and wait for CMDB 2.0.01 if there is a
light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks,
Jason

Speaking with folks internally, the current expectations are that CMDB
2.0.01 will be available electronically (i.e. what we call "Web
Generally
Available") on Upgrade Central by end of next week.  This is based on a
whole bunch of variables and may change, but that's the approximate
answer right now.

As I'm keen to say, I can give you the exact date it ships the day after
it ships. ;-)

I heard it was supposed to be released early November, but no solid
date.

Additionally, if you have the BMC Discovery Suite or plan on
implementing it, for some reason it needs CMDB 2.0.1.

** Still haven't heard anything solid - can David or anyone else tell us
an approximate/planned/soft release date for 2.0.1?  Not trying to push,
but knowing when we can expect it will help us with some release
planning.
