Where is the 9.1 version of BMC Atrium CMDB CDM 8.1.00 Help ?
Hi Yanick,
I have taken a note of your comment.
I have requested the concerned team to generate CDM help for 9.1.
I shall update this document as soon as I receive the updated files.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi ,
is there an updated version of the spreadsheet Mapping Your Data to BMC Atrium CMDB 8.1.00 Classes PDF for BMC Atrium CMDB 9.1? Do you have plans to create it?
Thank you,
Adam
The 9.1 common data model diagram v2 seems to have a drawing error. The relationship for BMC_AccountOnSystem takes an odd drawing path and seems to link the BMC_Account class to the BMC_AccessPoint class.
Hello Seth,
I will check with SME and will write back to you.

Anagha
Hello Seth,
The Common Data Model diagram is corrected.

Hi,
The documents "Mapping Your Data to BMC Atrium CMDB 9.1.00 Classes PDF" and "Mapping Your Data to BMC Atrium CMDB 9.1.00 Classes XLS" are not available for download (tried with Firefox, IE and Chrome).
Can you please fix it?
Thanks and regards,
Luciano
Hi Luciano,
I am able to download the files from the links mentioned in the topic. Request you to check if pop-ups are blocked on your browser. If yes, please allow them to open for these 2 links.
In case you are still unable to download, please reach out to BMC Support for further help.
Thanks!

Hi Deshpande, thanks for your response. It's working fine now. Regards,

In CMDB Help if you look at for example BMC_Cluster you can see inherited attributes from BaseElement and at the end these attributes are listed: z1D_Action, z1D_PermissionGroupID, z1D_PermissionGroupList, z1DtmpChar01, z1DtmpChar02, z1DtmpChar03. However clicking on the links take you to BaseElement but there is no description of them?
Hi Andreas,
Thank you for your feedback on the documentation. We are working with an SME to resolve this query and will respond as soon as possible. If you want to contact Customer Support to log a formal ticket on this issue, click here.

Maithili
Hi Andreas,
We do not recommend using or customizing these attributes. These attributes are used internally by the CMDB Engine. Thank you for your feedback on the documentation. We have updated this information in the relevant topics.
Regards,
Maithili
