BMC Asset Management and BMC Atrium CMDB

BMC Asset Management provides views of CIs that focus on the attributes applicable to managing your assets. BMC Asset Management extends the BMC Atrium CMDB common data model with CI types for Bulk Inventory and for Location.

The following fields and tabs on all CI forms are BMC Asset Management extensions:

• Company field
• Financials tab (present only in 60 CI forms)
• Outage tab (present only in 9 CI forms)
• Impacted Areas tab

  Note

  The Financials, Outage, and Impacted Areas tabs are available only if BMC Asset Management is installed. If BMC Change Management or BMC Service Desk is installed without BMC Asset Management, the asset inventory module provides access to CIs and to the other asset extensions.

Typically, discovery products automatically populate BMC Atrium CMDB. You can manually update CI data from BMC Asset Management.
