BMC_BaseElement data class

The root class of component classes is MC_SM_Component. The root class of Atrium CMDB component classes is BMC_BaseElement which is a subclass of MC_SM_Component.

The classes that immediately extend from BMC_BaseElement areas follows:

  • BMC_Collection
  • BMC_LogicalEntity
  • BMC_System
  • BMC_SystemComponent
  • BMC_SystemService

This topic provides the following information about the BMC_BaseElement class:

BMC_BaseElement data class definition

The following figure shows the BAROC definition of the BMC_BaseElement class, which is located in the mc_sm_object.baroc file.

When integrated with BMC Atrium CMDB, the classes in mc_sm_object.baroc are exported component and impact relationship classes from the BMC Atrium CMDB.
