Manage Workspace Links to a CMDB

When you create a CMDB, you associate it with a workspace or workspaces. This enables you to link CMDB to Issues in the workspace. Once a CMDB has been created, you can add additional workspace links or disassociate a workspace from the CMDB.

To change the workspace links to a CMDB:

  1. Select Administration | System from the BMC FootPrints Service Core toolbar and then select Configuration Manager Database from the main frame. The Configuration Manager administration page is displayed.
  2. In the Manage Workspace Links to a CMDB section of the page, select a CMDB from the Existing CMDBs drop-down field. Two fields are displayed: the Available Workspaces field lists workspaces that are not linked to a CMDB and the Linked Workspaces field lists workspaces associated with the selected CMDB.
  3. To:
  4. Add a workspace link, click on the workspace name in the Available Workspaces list and then click the Add button. You can add multiple workspace links if you wish.
  5. Remove a workspace link, click on the workspace name in the Linked Workspaces list and then click the Delete button. Only the link is deleted. The workspace itself remains intact in BMC FootPrints Service Core. You can delete multiple workspace links if you wish. You can even delete all workspace links; doing so does not delete the CMDB.
  6. When you finish altering workspace relationships, click the Save button.
