Changing datasets

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

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

  • BMC Asset — Default production dataset.
  • BMC.ASSET.SANDBOX — Default sandbox dataset. For information about the sandbox dataset, see Configuration-items.
  • 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.
