BMC Discovery (ADDM) adapter schema change
- The same inventory information is imported as with the previous version of the adapter
- The same versions of BMC Discovery are supported
- The new adapter is backward-compatible with previous versions of FlexNet Beacon, so that there is no need to update the inventory beacon that manages these imports if you decide the upgrade the adapter.
However, the new schema does require an update to the staging database used with the adapter, and also requires the changed Compliance Reader supplied with the 2020 R2 release of your central application server(s) to manage the changed imports (which means that the new adapter cannot be used with any previous releases of FlexNet Manager Suite).
The relevant section of the FlexNet Manager Suite Inventory Adapters and Connectors
Reference (available as PDF through the title page of online help, and as PDF or
HTML from https://docs.flexera.com/) has
been updated to reflect the new schema. If you decide to upgrade your BMC Discovery
adapter, it is available within the Adapter Tools for FlexNet Manager
Suite
archive, downloadable through Flexera
Community.
