App versions to check before opening ITOM Support cases - Support and Troubleshooting

App versions to check before opening ITOM Support cases Table of Contents Introduction CMDB MID Server Discovery Service Mapping Event Management Cloud Provisioning and Governance Health Log Analytics Introduction Over recent years, a lot of what was previously considered one big "Plugin" for a main feature, has evolved into a lot or separate Apps instead. The Plugin code was tied to the Instance's major version and patch level, so fixes for known problems were only available with Instance upgrades, automatically, in one go.

Now the fixes are delivered via out-of-band releases for individual Apps. Code from old plugins has been moved into apps, or new features are added as an App from the start. This means fixes are available much quicker, and also available to customers not yet on the latest Instance version.

Each of these Apps are usually for one small component of a product, and need manually upgrading but it becoming very confusing to keep track of which apps make up the various ITOM products now.

This KB article aims to list what should be upgraded to the latest available version before reporting potentially new problems.

This was compiled around the Xanadu timeframe. If you don't have an app installed, then it is optional, and you don't have to install or upgrade it. You might be missing out on some nice features though.

CMDB All ITOM features will in some way be interacting with the CMDB tables. Any problems with the underlying CMDB APIs, Table Classes, Identification Rules, Integrations Commons, CSDM Standards, Health Jobs, Data Management Policies etc. could break the higher-level ITOM features.
