Actual and authorized configuration item classifications
You can define associations between actual configuration
item (CI) classifications and authorized CI classifications.
Actual configuration items
An actual configuration item is an item that is loaded
into the Actual Configuration Items application from the discovery
engine using the IBM® Tivoli® Integration
Composer. You can load configuration items into the database
from a discovery engine or an asset management database. First load
your configuration item data into the discovery engine using the bulk
loader interface.
Authorized configuration items
An authorized configuration item is an item that conforms
to rules and relationships that you define in the Configuration Items
application. These configuration items are items that you want to
maintain under configuration management and change control.
Actual configuration item classifications and authorized configuration item classifications
You use the Classifications application to define associations
between actual configuration item (CI) classifications and authorized
CI classifications. You can create an authorized CI from an actual
CI record when you define these associations. You can include the
number of attributes that you need for configuration management and
change control.
