IBM Software Group CI Promotion Actual CIs Authorized CIs Promote Business Value: Improve time to value by making it quicker and easier to get the CIs needed for you business. CCMDB 7. 2: CI Promotion allows Authorized CIs to be created from Actual CIs and then linked to the corresponding Actual CI. Update promotion was added to allow customers to promote again CI's that have been previously been promoted. This includes: – Ability to sync existing authorized CIs with promotion. – Ability to sync attribute values and create related CIs that are newly discovered. – Expand the promotion scope and "re-promote" to create additional related CIs. – Add an attribute from a classification and all CI instances are affected. – Requires a RFC to update any CI that is in a protected state. 8
IBM Software Group | Tivoli Configuration Management
IBM Software Group View CI Topology Business Value: Improve service performance (reduce outages) and reduce costs (remove audit fines) by identifying the CIs that are critical to your business and understanding how they are related to each other. CCMDB 7. 2: A new graphic topology view was added to easily view and identify important CIs. Features include: § Available in CI application, Actual CI application, and Change application for viewing Impacted CIs. § Easy configuration to see exactly what is important for your business. § Icons that make it easy identify CIs, what state they are in, and can be configured if needed. 10
IBM Software Group CI Topology Viewer UI Generic Controls to pan, zoom, view overview, and select part of a diagram. Filters to display or highlight CI relationships, classifications and depth of topology. 2 views. Business view only shows CI classifications that are critical to the Business (these are configured when creating or updating the CI classifications). View CI status, descriptions and additional info on CIs. . 11
IBM Software Group CI Management Business Value: Provide accurate Authorized CIs to allow business processes to run successfully and efficiently. CCMDB 7. 2: § Improved CI Names. A new name field was added to all CI Applications. – The field uses improved logic to provide a more descriptive name. – This new name field can be edited by users. § Discovered CI's in TADDM that get deleted will get deleted in the Actual CI Space. – History will be kept of all deleted Actual CIs and can be viewed with a report. – Queries can be run to find Authorized CI's that are linked to a deleted Actual CI, so the user can handle appropriately. § Out of the box queries added to allow users to immediately get the information they need: – Actual CI's that are and are not link to an Authorized CI. – Authorized CI's that are and are not linked to an Actual CI. 12
IBM Software Group CI Auditing Business Value: Provide accurate Authorized CIs to allow business processes to run successfully and efficiently. CCMDB 7. 2: Immediately remediate an audit variance by updating an Authorized CI to reflect the Actual value. 13
IBM Software Group CI Auditing Cont. Business Value: Provide accurate Authorized CIs to allow business processes to run successfully and efficiently. CCMDB 7. 2: Determine exactly what remediation is needed from an audit variance: § Create a Change or Service Request to handle the remediation of an audit variance. § View approved Changes for a CI when viewing an audit variance to help determine if there was an approved change that caused the variance. § View CI attribute history while viewing an audit variance. § View the last audit results for the same CI. 14
IBM Software Group | Tivoli Change Management
IBM Software Group Simplified Change process Business Value: Reduce costs by making it quick and easy to process a change, and reduce risk and impacts by planning and communicating the change before it actually occurs. CCMDB 7. 2: New workflow based Change Process provided out of the box. § Invocation of automated impact analysis & scheduling § Approval enhancements § Multi-level Change authorization § Support for multiple approvers at each level (e. g. multiple CAB's) § Easy to additional adhoc approvers as needed § Enhanced job plans to capture impact assessment workflow assignments 16
IBM Software Group Simplified Change Cont. A new Progress Map provides a visual representation of the states that change record has to progress through for completion. . . 17 New tabs that align with each major phase in the Change process and contain the information relevant to that phase.
IBM Software Group Simplified Change Cont. Workplan Map is a visual representation of all activities and tasks. It exists on a new tab in a Change to provide a snapshot or visual indicator of all tasks. It includes the status for individual tasks, tasks in a hierarchy, and shows task dependencies. 18
IBM Software Group Impact Analysis Business Value: Reduce risk caused by a change by easily and accurately determining the impacts ahead of time. CCMDB 7. 2: Automated identification of possible service outages. Two techniques provided to determine impacts: § Calculated – Engine executes a set of (configurable) rules against the CMDB – Follows relationships to find all impacts § Database Historical Analysis – Data mining of previously identified impacts – Re-use work done previously Operating System Computer System 19 Web. Sphere E-Storefront Purchasing
