CMDB Data Archiving

[madanm7786]

Hi All,

We are planning to implement Data Archiving for CMDB. Initially we taught of using Data Archive feature, but later when going through Servienow documents, it is mentioned to use Data Manager for Archiving CMDB.

But there is no mention about why to use Data Manager for archiving CMDB.

Can you please help me in understanding why we need to use Data manager instead of Data Archiving feature.

Thanks,

Madan

Hi Atul,

Thanks for the response.

Yes i understand, Data Manager is new and enhances feature. But what difference does Data Manager have against Data Archive.

If my client asks why we need Data Manager and why not Data Archive, I must have some answers.

Thanks,

Madan

Hi @madanm7786 

Not sure and very limited details I have. You may be get some slides of both or read the both docs and get the details.

@madanm7786 The benefit of Data Manager for CMDB is that it ties into the Lifecycle capabilities for Configuration Items. By taking advantage of that, it your Lifecycle processes continue right into archiving.
