What this Document Covers

This document provides the following information:

• How you use CA Business Intelligence r3.2, or r3.3 SP1 to integrate CA SDM r12.7 and CA Configuration Automation r12.8.

  Note: Use any instance of CA Business Intelligence in your environment, but we recommend that you use the instance where you deploy CA Configuration Automation reports.

• How to install and configure the integration patch.
• How to configure and use the CA CMDB Export report and GRLoader with CA Business Intelligence r3.2 or r 3.3 SP1 to extract, transform, and load data from CA Configuration Automation to CA CMDB.
• System requirements
• Installation considerations

This integration lets you export Configuration Item (CI) data from CA Configuration Automation to CA CMDB for change impact analysis and root cause analysis. CA Configuration Automation r12.8 now employs the standard CA Business Intelligence reporting engine. As a result, it requires the CA CMDB Export report in CA Business Intelligence r3.2, or r2.3 SP1 to complete the integration successfully.
