In some implementations, customers want CA Technologies products such as Service Desk and Asset Portfolio Management to use management databases (MDB) separate or different from the database used by the DSM manager.
However, in many aspects of their asset management tasks these CA Technologies products rely on CA ITCM data.
Therefore, CA ITCM provides manager features that support and synchronize data discovered by CA ITCM to a separate MDB which may be based on Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Bridge) or Oracle (Oracle Bridge). The synchronization features synchronize CA ITCM assets and inventory data that are collected in an SQL Server MDB on the DSM domain or enterprise manager on Windows with the accordant data in the target SQL Server or Oracle MDB.
The synchronization is initiated through an engine task that runs at a scheduled time. You create this engine task and define the scheduling for the task using the engine task creation wizard from the DSM Explorer GUI. It is possible to use a separate engine on a remote computer to perform the synchronization.
See the Management Database (MDB) section in the "Installation of CA ITCM" chapter for more detailed information.
