review the documentation for cmdbdriver. Also remeber you are going from CMDB 2.1 to Atrium Core 7.6. There are a lot of new features you want to review prior to extending the model.

CMDB Customizations seem to be the biggest challenge. Our CMDB has 23 highly customized classes. Of those... roughly eight of them are totally Custom Classes created for our company. Other than the below plan, I am at a loss for the best/fastest way to port our 7.1 CMDB forms/data over to 7.6 CMDB. For OOTB CMDB Classes: 1) Ensure all custom fields from 7.1 CMDB forms exist on 7.6 OOTB CMDB forms. 2) Export custom workflow via .def import from 7.1 to 7.6 respective CMDB form once fields exist. 3) Data move 4) Test functionality For Custom created classes: 1) Create new custom class on 7.6., add custom fields. 2) Export custom workflow via .def import from 7.1 to 7.6 respective custom CMDB form. 3) Data move 4) Test functionality I am planning to do this manually since we have had issues in the past using the 7.1 cmdbdriver.exe to move forms from server to server. (mainly that it didn't work) :-) What best practices have the listers used for this excercise? Any advice is appreciated. This looks like a lengthy process - I am estimating 5 days for each of the 23 forms. My goal is to find a faster/better way than spending 123 days of manual creation/verification.
