This section explains how to start the configuration management windows and the layout of the windows.
There are several different types of configuration management windows, as follows:
CI View
This window shows a tree display of the relationship between configuration items as well as detailed displays of configuration items. This window is used to search for configuration items according to specified conditions, and to compare two configuration items.
CI Registration
This window is used to register new configuration items in the CMDB.
CI Update/Delete
This window is used to update and delete configuration items that have already been registered in the CMDB.
CI Import
This window is used to import configuration items from a file and register them in the CMDB.
Configuration Baseline Comparison
This window is used to compare two configuration baselines and find differences in configuration items between the two baselines.
Note
The maximum length of the strings that can be entered or displayed in all these windows is 512 characters (either single-byte or double-byte characters).
