What Does the MDB Contain?

CA MDB contains complete, consistent, and manageable definitions for all key IT management data. These definitions are shared by CA product solutions right out of the box, and they also may be extended to other products and third-party tools. MDB information supports CA solutions in the following IT management categories:

• Assets and inventory
• Storage
• Security
• Operations
• Services
• Job scheduling
• Servers and desktops
• Databases
• Application life cycle

This complete and consistent support for the full spectrum of IT management data provides a foundation for the integration of CA management solutions.

Starting with CA MDB r1.5, deployment flexibility is enhanced by installing only the database objects being used in a particular environment.
