BMC Discovery 11.3 ... Developing Node lifecycle Inferred nodes

Database Detail node

A Database Detail node is a multipurpose node kind that, as its name suggests, is used to store additional details of databases. Typically it would be used when there is a need to add table and schema information for existing database Software Instance nodes.

Logical databases no longer modeled by Database Detail nodes in BMC Discovery 11.2 and later

In versions of BMC Discovery before 11.2, Database Detail nodes were alo used to represent logical databases. In BMC Discovery 11.2, they are now modeled using Database nodes which simplifies the separation of databases from other database details.

Database Detail node lifecycle

The following section describes the scenarios in which a Database Detail node is created, updated or removed.

Creation/update

This is under the full control of patterns and as a result there is no default Database Detail node behavior.

Setting the key for a Database Detail node

The key for a Database Detail node is entirely dependent on the pattern that creates the Database Detail node. It is advised therefore that you take extra care when constructing the key attribute, as it will need to be unique amongst all Database Detail nodes. Achieving this uniqueness would typically be done by including the following information in the key:

  • The type attribute
  • The parent node's key attribute

Removal

  • Manual removal: find the necessary Detail node, select it in the list and pick Destroy from the Actions list.
  • Authoritative removal by the pattern that creates/updates the Database Detail node should be considered. The pattern not only needs to create the correct Database Detail structure, it also needs to maintain it as the configuration changes.
  • Built in removal rules will remove all the contained Database Detail nodes if an SI/BAI/Host is removed.
  • Built in removal rules will remove all the child Database Detail nodes (over both Containment and List) to allow simple deletion of part structures.
