CMDB Query - Creating Statuses for Software CI's

  • 1.  CMDB Query - Creating Statuses for Software CI's

    Posted Feb 18, 2012 10:15 AM

    Hi,

    I've done some work around classes,status etc on Configuration Items for my CMDB (which Altiris feeds the Desktop and Laptop CI's into). It's all pretty straight forward with the Hardware statuses (Stock, Production decommissioned etc) but i'm struggling on the software side of things.

    I've kept the Class at a high level - Software, and Type examples include Patch, Application and Component. I'm struggling with the status lifecycle though for Software. I'm thinking along the lines of Install pending, installed, license expiring, expired but not sure. 

    Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

    All feedback greatly apperciated.

    Regards,

    GOC
