Hi All,
We are working on creating an utility (engineering focused whitepaper
and some Def files) to allow customers who have invested in ITSM 6.0 to
leverage new enhancements in BMC Atrium CMDB 2.0.01 without having to
migrate to ITSM 7 right away.
This will allow a phased approach to eventual ITSM 7 rollout. This will
also give customers an opportunity to use the latest versions of BMC
Solutions such as Configuration Management and Configuration Discovery,
which support integration with BMC Atrium CMDB 2.x.
As you could see from emails earlier in this thread, a restricted
release of this is already available. We expect GA of this in next few
weeks. Meanwhile, please work with your sales/support contacts to get
more information.
Thanks
Anand Ahire,
Product Manager,
BMC Software,

We've let our reps know what we're trying to do, and they'll be working
with us as planning moves forward. Haven't tried the support site yet,
but I'll get there...
Thanks,
John

You should probably contact your Sales Representative or BMC
Support to find out if there is any further information regarding this.
Cheers,

** Dear John,
I guess you remember all those extensions for Telecom and J2EE
in CMDB 1.1 is now not available with CMDB 2.0, however it has been
organized in a much robust way. Its built to tie with the OOTB ITSM 7
application involving Product Categorization and Location information
with the base class (BMC_BaseElement). I guess BMC does say that CMDB
2.0 has a backward compatibility with ITSM 6.0, however you would have
to analyze the amount of effort it would take to customize an
application like CMDB with an additional cost of maintaining the
existing relationships with ITSM 6.0
Hope this helps
Regards,
Roney Samuel Varghese

It's not that it isn't compatible per se, it's just that you
probably don't want to go to the work it would take to map ITSM 6 to
CMDB 2.x, especially since you would be on the bleeding edge the whole
time. It would be far worse going the other way, BTW.

Hmm. That's what I was afraid of, although we were assured that
2.0 was compatible with HD 6... Thanks for the info, it gives me some
leverage to use with management.

As far as I know, CMDB 1.x is tied to ITSM 6, and CMDB
2.x is tied to ITSM 7. That's not a hard and fast requirement, as you
could map them the other way, but it would be a quite large and complex
task, because the 2.x CDM is about 40% smaller than the 1.x CDM, and
ITSM 6 isn't wired to talk to the correct classes in CMDB 2.x.
Remedy promised a white paper describing the mappings -
about 6 months ago - but I haven't seen it yet, and I really don't
expect to.
