BMC Discovery Technology Knowledge Update 2019-Dec-1 is a deliverable for BMC Discovery 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 series.
TKU December 2019 enhances the model for Cloud Regions and Cloud Services to be segregated by account. If you discover more than one AWS Account, more than one Azure Subscription or more than one GCP Project, all the data from Cloud Region through to individual nodes within services will be clearly separated, where before it was intermingled.
As a result, the keys of all CloudRegion and CloudService nodes, and many contained nodes will change, even if you only discover a single account. If you synchronize to a CMDB, the identities of the corresponding CIs will also change.
The existing nodes are not deleted automatically with the application of the TKU. To remove the old nodes from the BMC Discovery model, you can delete the patterns that were deactivated by the new patterns in the TKU. However, the old CIs in the CMDB will not be deleted automatically. The simplest way to remove them is to perform a resynchronization.
Please refer Cloud Region and Cloud Service pages for node views of the updates and some additional information.
Please be aware that in TKU 2019-Dec-1 release the key attribute has been changed for HP Business Process Monitor pattern. (DRDC1-13887)
