Bi-directional relationships are simple enough. Just create two records with the source and target fields interchanged. You can do this in workflow or with other tools depending on how you want to create these relationships. The Tideway discovery tool no doubt does exactly that. /Ben w <http://www.softwaretoolhouse.com> ww.softwaretoolhouse.com

I am in between of a Proof of Concept regarding the same and am able to establish it but there are few "tweaks" which I need to do and need help around the same. I searched almost every where but didn't get any help manuals - if somebody can share some pointers or informative stuff that will be really good. Why I am prompted to believe that bi-directional relationships are possible without any hassles because "Tideway" discovery tool has the capability of populating BMC Atrium 2.1.0 with "Bi directional relationship" Thanks Naveen (ARS 7.1.0, Atrium CMDB 2.1.0) _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) on behalf of strauss Sent: Wed 6/25/2008 8:59 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Patch 9002 ** The release notes text file says: Task Template version 3 Installer Release Notes Date: May 8, 2008 I was not aware of a version 2. They also list a half dozen outstanding defects in the patch, or with its effect on Change Management templates. There is an updated Installation Guide in the zip file. It does look like they finally have it setup to be run as a hotfix AFTER you run one of the full ITSM patches (004 to 007). I had to manually reinstall it after patch 007 for production, where it had been added to a new install of patch 006. BTW, they have already logged several defects, provided workarounds, or attempted to explain away issues with patch 9004 that I reported at the end of May. We'll see how long it takes to get THAT patch ready for prime time.

I would not have known unless you told me, because the issue I logged against it in February 2007 was closed as a defect in August 2007 with "no known eta on the updated patch 9002" provided. With the issue closed, they have no mechanism to let you know when a fix has been released, and they have not mentioned an update in any of the BMC Software Customer Support Notices (and I just went back and looked at the 3 from May and 6 from June).

I expect to see it sometime after they fix the bugs in patch 9002 (and now 9004), so we are already talking years, not just months. So far, we have had to use the manual method that you described.
