CMDB Access

The CMDB Access section of the Configuration Manager page allows you to open the CMDB homepage or view the details of a CMDB. The CMDB homepage is for using and administering an individual CMDB, as opposed to performing system-wide CMDB administrative functions. The CMDB details show the attribute names, attribute types, and field choices for each CI Type in the CMDB.

To access a CMDB from the CMDB Access section:

  1. From the BMC FootPrints Service Core Toolbar, select Administration | System and then select the Configuration Manager link towards the top of the main frame. The Configuration Manager page is displayed.
  2. In the CMDB Access section, select the CMDB you wish to access from the drop-down field. If you wish to review the details for the selected CMDB, click the Details button. The attribute names, attribute types, and field choices for each CI Type in the CMDB are displayed.
  3. Click the Open CMDB button. The CMDB homepage for the selected CMDB is displayed.

Refer to Configuration Manager Database Home for details on working with the CMDB homepage.
