CMDB 2.1 console still available with 7.5
For the pioneers out there trying out the new CMDB 7.5 console and having or running into issues (like me): You can still use the previous 2.1 cmdb console. You just need top open the CMDB:Console form directly. According to BMC support, this is fully supported. The configuration data forms have apparently not changed in 7.5, that's why you can use the 2.1 console. The 7.5 CMDB console is essentially a new GUI (very snazzy BTW). The cmdb product manager deserves much praise for this: it's already a fair learning curve to know and use the 2.x cmdb console functions effectively, so thankfully that knowledge and know-how is not thrown away with the 7.5 cmdb manager. It is very smart and forward looking to decouple the functional and presentation layers, so kudos to whoever it was. -Guillaume ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: Where the Answers Are

There are menus selections to access the legacy CMDB and recon consoles in the ITSM 7.5 Application Administration Console so I would hope that BMC supports them!! _ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Guillaume Rheault Sent: 09 March 2009 18:36 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: CMDB 2.1 console still available with 7.5 For the pioneers out there trying out the new CMDB 7.5 console and having or running into issues (like me): You can still use the previous 2.1 cmdb console.

Re: CMDB 2.1 console still available with 7.5
IMHO, this are left overs (bugs) that did not get upgraded with the new links of the 7.5 cmdb console. I don't think BMC planned to leave the old links there in the Application Administration Console, it would not make sense -Guillaume -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) on behalf of P Romain ARSlist Sent: Mon 03/09/09 3:40 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: CMDB 2.1 console still available with 7.5 There are menus selections to access the legacy CMDB and recon consoles in the ITSM 7.5 Application Administration Console so I would hope that BMC supports them!! _ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Guillaume Rheault Sent: 09 March 2009 18:36 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: CMDB 2.1 console still available with 7.5 For the pioneers out there trying out the new CMDB 7.5 console and having or running into issues (like me): You can still use the previous 2.1 cmdb console.
