BMC Atrium Discovery Technology Knowledge Update 2014-May-1 is a deliverable for BMC Atrium Discovery 8.3, 9.0 and 10.0series.
The May 2014 TKU includes changes to the CMDB Sync mapping (introduced between TKU Jan 2014 and TKU Mar 2014)
- When you synchronize with the CMDB the first time, the
BMC_ComputerSystemCIs mapped from partition Host nodes are updated and their PartitionIds are set. - During data synchronization to the CMDB,
FunctionalComponentnodes representing CAM Functional Components are mapped toBMC_ConcreteCollectionCIs. - When you synchronize with the CMDB the first time, the
BMC_ComputerSystemCIs mapped from HostContainer nodes are updated and their TokenIds are set. - When you synchronize with the CMDB the first time, all
BMC_ApplicationServiceCIs are updated and their TokenIds are set.

TKU 2014-May-1 is released in three streams:
- Release compatible with BMC Atrium Discovery 8.3 series
