Overview

Universal CMDB (UCMDB) is based on three key elements: a rich data model, visualization, and federation to additional data repositories. UCMDB provides impact analysis, change tracking, and reporting capabilities to transform UCMDB data into comprehensible, actionable information that helps answer critical questions and solve business problems. UCMDB can provide valuable information about services, and their operational status.

The purpose of the integration of UCMDB as a data source is to bring quality management information into the Data Warehouse.

You use the UCMDB push adapter to access data links and nodes from UCMDB, which are then pushed into the Data Warehouse. You must deploy the push adapter package when the UCMDB Content Pack is activated in the Data Source Management UI, and before the first run of the ETL in order to get the Node, Application and Services topology from UCMDB.
