Transferring data to a dataset in BMC Atrium CMDB
Data must be transferred from the discovery database to a dataset in BMC Atrium CMDB. Data is moved from the discovery database to the CMDB dataset. It is then normalized and reconciled to production dataset.
For example, BMC BladeLogic Client Automation uses the Atrium Integration Engine (AIE) service to transfer discovered data between the Inventory database and BMC Atrium CMDB. BMC Atrium Discovery stores data in the discovery datastore, after which you create the BMC.ADDM dataset that enables data to be reconciled with data in the BMC.ASSET dataset in BMC Atrium CMDB. Data is then transferred into the appropriate classes in the Common Data Model.
For example, BMC BladeLogic Client Automation uses the Atrium Integration Engine (AIE) service to transfer discovered data between its Inventory database and BMC Atrium CMDB. Similarly, BMC Atrium Discovery stores data in its database and then moves it to the BMC.ADDM dataset in Atrium CMDB. The data is then normalized and reconciled with existing data in the BMC.ASSET dataset or promoted to BMC.ASSET dataset in BMC Atrium CMDB.
