Resource Manager Overview

The web-based Resource Manager module is designed to allow users to quickly search and consume various UCMDB resources in one central place. You can search for a specific UCMDB resource that is supported to be consumed in the web-based modules accessible in CMS UI.

Compared to the traditional UCMDB UI, there is no longer the need for you to switch between Views and Query tree in the Modeling > Modeling Studio module to search for a view and a query.

You can consider the Resource Manager module as a search engine for UCMDB resources. The search scope for different roles is determined by the privileges each role has. If you are an ADMIN, you can search for any UCMDB resource; If you are a consumer, you can search only the resources that you have rights for.

The Resource Manager is easily accessible anywhere in the CMS UI through the top search bar with dedicated filters available for each supported resource type for accurate results.

This release supports the following resources types:

  • Queries. Including Views, Integrations, Discovery, Templates, Perspectives, Impact Analysis, Enrichments.
  • Views. Including Pattern Views, Templates, Perspectives, Perspective Based Views, Template Based Views, Dynamic Widgets, Automation Flow Mapping, and Basic Reports.
  • Models. CI Types with the SERVICE_MODEL qualifier. By default, the following CITs can be searched: BusinessApplication, BusinessService, InfrastructureService.

Users can only focus on the resources they have permissions.

After locating a resource, if the resource is a view or a query, users can open it in topology map; if a model, then users can open it in the Service Modeling model if users have the required permissions for the corresponding modules.
