While this document was originally written after the emergence of the CCMDB product set, all these concepts apply equally across all Maximo-based technologies. This includes the rest of the ISM product set: TAMIT, TSRM, TRPM, TSAM, etc. Because CCMDB contains the added complication of TADDM and SSO for TADDM, we elected to focus this document on CCMDB, but the concepts apply equally across the entire portfolio. This document gives an in-depth look at the process and procedure to integrate IBM Tivoli CCMDB

IBM® Tivoli® Application Dependency Discovery Manager (TADDM) is a powerful tool for discovering and classifying information about hardware and software assets, along with their relationships and dependencies. In spite of automatic discovery features, you may find yourself having to extract additional data from files, databases, and other sources, reformatting it and writing it out as Identity Markup Language (IDML) files that Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager can import. IDML is the Extensible Markup Language (XML) dialect used to describe Configuration Items (CIs) and their relationships according to the Common Data Model (CDM). Processes that create these IDML import files are called Discovery Library Adapters (DLA) and the fastest way to create a DLA is by using IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator (TDI). IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator is an integration toolkit that lets you visually assemble data flow rules (called AssemblyLines) that control how data moves and is transformed between any number of systems, transports, and data stores. Each AssemblyLine can perform data filtering and re-formatting to fit output schemas. The purpose of this IBM Redpapers publication is to show you how to create an AssemblyLine that produces IDML import files for Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager. Along the way you can gain some skills that help you meet other integration challenges as well.

This document describes how to configure TDS to use TDS pass-through authentication for CCMDB

The Common Data Model (CDM) is an information model that provides consistent definitions for managed resources, business systems and processes, and other data, and the relationships between those elements. CDM is based on the unified modeling language (UML). This IBM® Redpaper presents a set of example templates and scenarios that help users learn and apply the basics of the Common Data Model. Each scenario identifies the CDM classes that are used and defines the important relationships among these classes. This Redpaper can serve as a reference for IT specialists implementing the Common Data Model as part of a Tivoli® Systems Management Solution.
