Since these attributes need to apply to all further subclasses I
don't think creating a custom class is a good idea. I have added a few
attributes myself to Base Element without any issues. The time needed
for the attributes to propagate to all existing subclasses depends on
your system and the number of subclasses you have. You still need to
modify the AST forms for the new attributes to be available in the
required classes.

John,
Thanks for your recommendation. That custom class you mention should
be a subclass of Base Element (BE), right?
I´m asking that because I don’t see how a custom subclass of Base
Element can propagate attributes to all existing subclasses in CDM.
I was thinking creating a custom namespace and adding attributes in
BE but stored in custom namespace.
Alejandro.

Alejandro,
I'd recommend you do not add them to Base Element. Instead create
your own custom Class and add those attributes to that class.
Otherwise, your next upgrade will be a nightmare.

SUBJECT: Adding Custom Attributes to Base Element
**
Listers,
ARS 7.6.04 SP1
CMDB 7.6.04
ITSM 7.6.04
I need to add about ten (10) attributes (common to all kind of CIs)
to BaseElement.
I’ve read some threads (dated about 2009) recommending to NOT ADD
attributes in Base Element Class, because of known errors in Asset –
CMDB Sync process.
What’s your experience about that? Understanding CDM Model is
based in CIM Model I think there shouldn’t be problems in adding
fields to Base Element class.
Believe me if I’m telling you I’ve reviewed all BaseElement
attributes from BMC.CORE and BMC.AM namespaces and I have no match for
these 10 attributes required.
I guess a known issue could be extense time you may have to wait
after saving changes in CDM, because custom attributes in Base Element
must be propagated to all subclasses.
Regards,
Alejandro
