Marcelo, I hope this image of my layout helps. Basically, I think you are using the correct classes, but I don't know that I would put everything you are putting there. For example, do you really need to list the Exchange Server and Domain Controller? They are sort of implied, and you may not want to list it and risk making either the Remedy view or the Domain Controller's views too full.
Also, if you look at my layout, I built dependencies between the Remedy Application with the database, and the database with the SQL Server, but I did not relate the Remedy Application with the DB Server. Thanks, Shawn Pierson -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Martinez, Marcelo A Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 3:27 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: CMDB mapping question: dependency vs. component I'm mapping out a few "critical systems" in my CMDB and wanted some input. Remedy System: BMC_ApplicaitonSystem Rem001 Server: BMC_ComputerSystem - Component of Remedy System SQL0001 Server: BMC_ComputerSystem - Component of Remedy System (or is this a Dependency??) ARSystem database: BMC_Database - Component of Remedy System Exchange Server: BMC_ComputerSystem - Dependency of Remedy System DomainController: BMC_ComputerSystem - Dependency of Remedy System Does this make sense? Or am I mapping it all wrong? Also what is a good naming convention for relationships: RemSysComp01, RemSysDepen01?? I am doing this manually because I do not know how/where to mass relate these items. I have about 2000 CIs in Computer systems form. Specs: CMDB: 2.1.00 ARS: 7.1.00 ITSM 7.0.03 Thanks,, Marcelo Martinez _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" Private and confidential as detailed here: http://www.sug.com/disclaimers/default.htm#Mail .
