Using the CMDBf Viewer

CA SDM provides the CMDBf Viewer to display the results of CI federation across MDRs. From a CI Detail page (or the CI right-click menu on the CI List), click CMDBf Viewer to see CI attributes of federated CMDBs and MDRs in parallel. On the Federated View page, you can click Retrieve to update the information from any of the federated MDRs. For better readability, CA CMDB metadata files can reconcile MDR attribute names and CA CMDB attribute names.

Note: This feature requires MDRs that support Query. You configure the MDR CMDBf Endpoints to display their results on Federated View. For more information, see the Implementation Guide.

If the CI does not have any federated data, the viewer displays only CA CMDB attributes.
