Forgot to mention that I downloaded the one with JRE bundle so I don't have to install anything just click and runt it.

Re: RFC: CMDB Data Dictionary Creator
I don't know others are using it but I use it in our production environment mainly to verify our service model and print out some nice graphs to show to my manager. One thing I found is it doesn't work with CMDB1.x.

Re: RFC: CMDB Data Dictionary Creator
sbr, I had stumbled into that before, however I had forgotten about it already. :( A few key snips from their website: " CMDB Analyzer is available absolutely free for personal and commercial use. You are required to install JRE 1.6.0 or above. License: http://www.bluelineg.com/cmdbAnz-free-license.htm " That might be something to go look at closer... Has anyone used it already? Any pros/cons to it? Are there any things that it can not do that you think it should do? -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap Pick two.

Re: RFC: CMDB Data Dictionary Creator
There is a tool called CMDB Analyzer from www.bluelineG.com, which draws CMDB class hierarchy in a colored graph. From there you can browse all the classes and their attributes. It doesn't generate any docs but could be useful if you just want to browse the data model definition. It also can import class definition files, so you can compare your current CDM with any model you exported.

Re: RFC: CMDB Data Dictionary Creator
Tell me if I'm wrong, but the CDM document hasn't been changed in a while, and it has inaccuracies to begin with. I would be very interested in this. Drew On Fri, 9 Nov 2007, Axton wrote: What would the interest be in a tool that generates some type of documentation (html, pdf, and/or doc) generator for the CMDB class/attribute structures? This tool would generate something comparable to the html class documentation files bundled with the CMDB. This would be useful to generate documentation for altered cdm data models within the cmdb, which I am assume, to varying degrees, is most users of the cmdb. Please post responses back to the list.
