I want to know the best practice for creating a new table for the SIMS field or just adding the field in CMDB_CI.

 

The background:

My department wants to add the field for SIMS cards for both cmdb_ci_comm and cmdb_ci_computer, but they are under different tables.  This is the structure of the schema map on my end:

 

For CMDB_ci_comm

Base Configuration Item (cmdb) - Configuration Item (cmdb_ci) - Communication Device (cmdb_ci_comm)

 

For CMDB_CI_Computer

Base Configuration Item (cmdb) - Configuration Item (cmdb_ci) - Hardware (cmdb_ci_hardware) - Computers (cmdb_ci_computer)

 

So is it better to create a new table for the SIMs card field that needs to connect with communication devices and computers OR is it better to just add the field in the configuration item?

Hi,

There is a class for SIM Cards in the CMDB CI Class Models application.

SIM Card (cmdb_ci_sim_card) that extends Configuration Item (cmdb_ci) class.

Regards,
Niklas
