One thing you could do is to disable many of the large chunks of the DSL that you don't support. That also reduces the number of Pcat entries in use. Rick _____
From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Savant, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 10:13 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Looking for advice on DSL and 7.x Product Categorizations ** Listers: It would seem that in loading the DSL data, we're forced to use the associated out-of-the-box Product Categorizations of 'Software/Application/Third Party' and 'Software/Operating System/Third Party'. Since Product is not available when configuring Assignment rules, such broad categorizations make it nearly impossible to single out support groups for routing without redundantly populating Operational Categorizations. We've thought about disabling all DSL entries, then reactivating and recategorizing only those we need, but that would seem to be an extremely time consuming task. We're also concerned that future DSL data patches would overwrite our updates. Perhaps populating the DSL ourselves is a better approach? For those of you using BMC's DSL data, how do you handle this?
