The BMC_Person is created automatically when a CTM:People record is created and not the reverse.
In any event, the BMC_Person class is more or less a dummy containing very few attributes (including critically, the CTM:Person Request ID and Instance ID) and is there so that (Dependency) relationships may be created between people and CIs (rather than "only" associations (in AST:AssetPeople). So, if your integration creates CTM:People records, the BMC_Person records will be created - albeit in the SANDBOX dataset. Ensure that you have a proper recon job configured to move it to the BMC.ASSET Dataset. The BMC_Person will most likely be expanded and really used in a (very) future release.

For 7.0.3, I built an integration where some escalations run and dump the People data into a staging form that then goes into CTM:People. However, now that I have the BMC_People class in the CMDB, I'm considering if it would be better to put the data there instead, and use that to update the People data. I'd like to know what your thoughts are on this. It's obviously easier for me to take my pre-existing code and migrate it to my 7.6.4 servers, but if there is an advantage to loading it into BMC_People first, I'm open to going that route instead.
