I was attempting to create a new software dependency in a BIA, but wanted to search against the CMDB_SAM_SW_INSTALL table. I can see the table as a choice, but I am not able to select it. This used to work a couple of months ago. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and is there a solution for it?

Hi @jhammond944 ,
You need to check couple of things here:
1. Navigate to Business Continuity> General Administration> Element Definitions and create a definition for the Table "Software Installation", like below:
2. Navigate to Business Continuity> BIA Configuration> BIA Templates> Click New
Once you get the Template form, fill all the required Fields and choose the Definition you created in step 1 into "Primary Element Assessed" field:
3. Now you can create the BIA , you should be able to see the CMDB_SAM_SW_INSTALL table.
