What's new

CMS UI version 2018.05 includes the following enhancements:

Starting with version 2018.05, the UCMDB Browser with new UI modules is officially renamed to CMS UI.

  • Administration and Supportability

    • Improves the data quality of your CMS by enabling you to analyze data-in using the Reconciliation Analyzer

      This release improves the data quality of your CMS by enabling you to analyze data-in using the Reconciliation Analyzer. The Reconciliation Analyzer helps you understand how the reconciliation process works. With this capability, you can find what happened with a CI that may have merged with another CI, and view the following information:

      • All the changes made to the searched CI (create, update, or remove CI), listed in chronological order, grouped by reconciliation Operations
      • The reasons why the CI was changed, including a list of identification candidates, and the reasons for matching the searched CI with them.

      For details, see Working with the Reconciliation Analyzer in CMS UI Help.

    • Added support for SAML authentication on CMS UI

      This release added support for SAML authentication on CMS UI. Now users can also access CMS UI based on the authentication assertion received from the Identity Provider (IdP). It passes the authentication responsibility to IdP and the users automatically log in to the CMS UI when a successful response is received from IdP.

      Additionally, SAML logout is enabled on UCMDB Server and on CMS UI. For more information, see Enable SAML Authentication on CMS UI in CMS UI Help.

    • New capabilities with the Integration Studio module

      The Integration Studio module in CMS UI introduces the following functionality:

      • Delete multiple integration jobs at the same time

      • Disable all integration points

      For more information, see Working with integration points in CMS UI Help.

  • Improvements to the CMS UI landing page

    • Expanded search capability to include basic reports

      • Users can now search basic reports from the top search bar.
      • When searching for a resource, basic reports can also show up in the auto-suggestion list.
    • Added 3 out-of-the-box (OOTB) reports: Network Devices, Storage Devices, and AWS CLOUD
    • Capability of hiding out-of-the-box (OOTB) widgets: You can use the new Settings icon on the landing page to hide OOTB widgets.
    • Capability of editing widget header: The Tile Settings icon available on each widget allows you to edit the widget header.
