Re: Patch 004 for AR CMDB now available (Read if you want to install ITSM 7.0 on ARS 7.1)

I thought the EXACT same thing.  BMC recommends having separate
development/test/production environments for their customers - I hope
they would hold themselves to a similar standard.
 
In the Linux world, even-numbered major kernel revisions are considered
stable - odd-numbered revisions are considered
test/development/unstable.  Those of us who like to run on the bleeding
edge know we're playing with fire, but we are at least AWARE of this
fact due to the numbering system.  It would be nice if BMC had a similar
system.  Or do they and I am not aware?

Hi. The last 2 weeks I have been e-mailing with BMC Support. I
was trying to install ITSM 7.0.2 on ARS 7.1 but the CMDB Extension
Loader always crashed ARS 7.1 on me.


After a few mails to BMC Support .. they now mailed me back an
e-mail, sorta saying "oh, what, you did not install patch 004 of CMDB?
.. ohh no wonder it does not work" 



I checked the patch site and there was no patch 004 for CMDB ...
three hours later, I checked again, and magically patch 004 for CMDB
appeared (wearing todays date) 



So I am just letting anyone know .. incase you tried to install
ARS 7.1 and ITSM 7.0.2 ontop of it .. and your Incident Management
installation hangs (because in the background, the CMDB Extension loader
crashed your ARS 7.1 server) .. use this patch.


Regards,

2007-09-17 Thread strauss
The CMDB 2.1.0 installer also has a defect when attempting to upgrade
2.0.1.003 on ARS 7.1 - it actually tries to install 2.0.1.004 during the
2.1.0 upgrade process, but hangs before completion.  I am waiting on a
fix for the 2.1.0 installer now.
