The following table lists the changes in the product behavior:

Update

Product behavior in versions earlier than 25.1

Product behavior in version 25.1

Updates to the following attributes:

  • PrimaryCapability attribute under BMC_ComputerSystem class
  • ProcessorFamily under BMC_Processor class

 

The PrimaryCapability and the ProcessorFamily attributes were not customizable, and the out-of-the-box list of options for these attributes was insufficient to map the values captured by BMC Helix Discovery.

The PrimaryCapability and the ProcessorFamily attributes are customizable. The exact values can be selected from the updated list of options and mapped according to the information captured in BMC Helix Discovery. 

For more information, see Summary of changes to the Common Data Model.
