Simulating the impact of changes to CIs

Use the BMC CMDB Impact Simulator to determine how a change to a CI affects other CIs in a service model. For example, you might want to simulate the impact of restarting a database server before applying the latest patch on the database server.

You can run an impact simulation, save a simulation, load a saved simulation, compare two simulations and relate a simulation to a change request.
