This hasn't impacted me yet, but I think BMC created a lot of this mess by having CMDB = Asset Management for so long and now splitting it out further. Based on what you've said, it will be interesting to me as well to see what happens with ADDM because we're discovering the location based on

Good morning, I think we've identified our first defect with ITSM 8.1 in our user testing phase. It looks like the filter above isn't firing, so the customers are not being notified. The cause appears to be the Run If portion. Here's what we see in 8.1: ('Status' Resolved) AND ('z1D

Just to add my $0.02, we're close to moving to 8.1 in production, although we're past the technical team testing phase and about to go to UAT. We did already get to 8.1 ARS in Production with ITSM 7.6.4 with no new problems so I can vouch for that as well. There seem to be a few really good
