Greetings List!
We're trying to decide the best way for modeling applications and relationships. My manager has been trying to get questions answered by BMC for some time now, but isn't getting very far. Background: We are starting from scratch here - This is a new installation using AR 7.5 patch 4 and CMDB 7.6 patch 1, and ADDM 8.2, all running on Redhat RHEL 5. Ultimately, two of the components we'd like to use SIM and ProactiveNet - SIM for service impact management, and ProactiveNet for predictive analytics, and probable cause analysis. Initially, we have two questions: Question #1. My manager was told that SIM and ProactiveNet could be used to create application models, and relationships within the CMDB. I've not heard that before in any of the classes I've attended. (The options I've read/learned about are either doing application modeling and defining relationships within ADDM using TPL -before- the discovered data is exported to BMC.ADDM, or by using Atrium Core Console after the discovered data has been exported to BMC.ADDM, but before promoting it into BMC.ASSET. What is the consensus for the best way to go about this, and is it a true statement that SIM or ProactiveNet can create these models and relationships, or are they mere consumers? Question #2. Are there any of you who are actually using ProactiveNet or SIM in your production environment? Thanks, and happy Friday to you all!
