> In reading the document, I'm pretty sure that the 7.2.01 refers to the version of the integration, not the version of CMDB. Correct. The name of the product is "BMC Configuration Management Configuration Discovery Integration for CMDB". The version is 7.2.01. Standard BMC naming policy is to give the product a name that describes what it does... rather than something "markety" (Like "Blackberry" or "U-verse", etc.). BMC Configuration Management is the business unit, Configuration Discovery is the product and it integrates to CMDB, so that's where the "Integration for CMDB" comes in. On a related note, Atrium products (including CMDB) will most likely be synching up with the rest of the 7.x products in terms of numbering. Thus, do not be surprised if someone refers to Atrium CMDB 7.5.00. 7.5.00 is the expected version that will come out after CMDB 2.1.00 (which is the current version). -David J.

I recently ran across document #88219 (http://documents.bmc.com/supportu/documents/82/19/88219/88219.pdf ), titled "BMC Configuration Management Configuration Discovery Integration for CMDB 7.2.01". CMDB 7.2.01? I was thinking "Atrium is at 2.1... maybe they added the "7." to make the numbering more uniform (like the Java versions)." In reading the document, I'm pretty sure that the 7.2.01 refers to the version of the integration, not the version of CMDB. But still, its a little confusing.

They changed the numbering mechanism starting with v5/1.5. Sort of like Solaris did when they went from 2.6 to 7.0 (which was really 2.7). Anyway, like Chris said, any 1.5 version above _12 will probably work, and there's probably no reason to not get the most current one of those. But unless you like a challenge and the occasional surprise, you might avoid Java 6 for now.

"Your best bet is to load the 1.5.0_14+ JDK on both the mid-tier server (which requires it) and the AR Server (which can get by with the JRE) since some of the functions that can reside on the AR Server also need the JDK. Avoid 1.6 unless you take pleasure in obscure java errors." "AR System (Server and Mid-Tier) 7.1.00 requires Java 5.0 or higher."
