MDR Classes and MDR Names

An IT enterprise can include many MDRs. Each MDR has an identifier called an MDR name (mdr_name). Because it is common for an MDR to use the host server name as the mdr_name (to allow multiple MDRs to reside on the same host server), an MDR class (mdr_class) is appended to the mdr_name to identify each MDR uniquely.

CA Cohesion ACM is an enterprise discovery tool that integrates tightly with CA CMDB. Each CA Cohesion ACM MDR defined to the CA CMDB must have an mdr_class of Cohesion.
