Course Overview
This course is designed to provide an understanding of the fundamental concepts and applications of the Micro Focus Universal Configuration Management Database (UCMDB). Participants learn visualization and mapping techniques to build business service views, implement change tracking, perform impact analysis, and enrichment of topology data and reporting. This course also covers the CMS UI, which provide a different end-user perspective to analyze and consume UCMDB data. The discussions and scenario-based exercises reinforce skills to optimize business outcomes through the efficient use of the Micro Focus UCMDB Server and CMS UI.
The hands-on lab environment uses UCMDB version 2022.05.
