Changing datasets

A dataset is a collection of CIs that are identified by a unique name.

CIs can be discovered by a discovery tool or can be manually entered. In either situation, the CIs are likely to be put into one of the following datasets in BMC Helix CMDB:

  • BMC Asset — The default production dataset
  • BMC.ASSET.SANDBOX — The default sandbox dataset. For information about the sandbox dataset, see The-sandbox-dataset-for-CI-data.
  • BMC Configuration Import — Data from BMC Configuration Automation for Clients
  • BMC.SIM — Data that is modeled in BMC Service Impact Manager
  • BMC.ADDM — Data from BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping
  • Third-party dataset — Other datasets from third parties
