Re: CMDB Class Delete

2009-11-25 Thread Tomasiewicz, Mike (Information Technology)
Been there ... done that!  When I called BMC they were very helpful in 
resolving the problem.  The "fix" is to obtain a known-good .xml of the 
BMC_BaseElement class definition and, using the cmdbdriver utility, import the 
class to repair the damage.

Do you have another instance running where you can export the BaseElement class 
from?  If so, using cmdbdriver export the def as an xml file.  Try just 
exporting and importing the BMC_BaseElement Class, and overwriting on the 
import.

Contact me directly if you need assistance.

I've done something similar -- mine was related to version mismatch though and 
classes stuck in pending.  BMC had me check some of the backend data, and use 
cmdbdriver to clean stuff up.  I don't have the specifics though.  I'll let 
someone more technically astute in the inner workings of the CMDB to advise.

I accidentally deleted the Base Element class definition from the
Class Manager Console, not the actual form from the Admin tool.

I was adding a field to BaseElement and there were two entries on the
Class Manager Console, one Active and one Change Pending. The change I
was trying to make failed and in my tired state I highlighted the line
that was Active and deleted it! Fortunately the one that says Change
Pending is still there and from what I can tell looks just like the
one that was Active.

Everything appears to be OK but am now wondering if I can change the
status of the current Change Pending class definition record to Active
or have I caused more damage than I'm seeing?

Thank you

Frank
