Product Description
BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping (BMC Atrium Discovery or BMC ADDM) automatically discovers physical and virtual IT assets and applications — and the relationships between them.
This page describes BMC Atrium Discovery product based on Tideway Foundation technology. BMC's legacy Atrium Discovery product is described here.

- "BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping" for versions of 8.0 or greater
Simple Identification Mappings
The following components/processes are identified using the combination of pattern definitions and simple identity mappings which map other known (but deemed less important in terms of application modeling) processes.

Versioning
Version information for the product is currently collected using the package versioning method.
Package Versioning
The pattern checks the installed packages to see if we can extract version information from one of them. Each package is compared against the following regular expression:
- (?i)^tideway$
The first package returned that contains a version is used to assign it. If build number is available it is added to the full version of the product.
The version is then assigned to the Software Instance.
Application Model Produced by Software Pattern
Product Architecture
BMC ADDM Application (Tideway Foundation is made up of distinct interacting components with the most important components each modelled using a separate SI definition.
Software Pattern Model
The patterns trigger on the processes and SI as outlined in the Software Instance Triggers section.
SI Depth
All Software Instance patterns create an SI where the key is based on type and host key.
The FoundationAppliance pattern creates an instance-based Business Application Instance, the key to which is based on name and host key.
Relationship Creation
The FoundationAppliance pattern creates a SoftwareContainment relationship between the appliance Business Application Instance and:
- The Software Instances that form this application on the host (i.e. BMC ADDM components SIs).
- The Apache Tomcat instance on the same host that has catalina_base set to /usr/tideway/tomcat
Testing
Testing to ensure correct identification and model creation were performed via scanning of live installations of the product running on physical and virtual appliances.
