Adding a new software image CI
When you add a new software image configuration item (CI) to the Configuration Management Database (CMDB), the new CI is also referenced in the DML repository that you are working with. Add a new CI when, for example, you have installed a software product in your environment and the software is not yet registered to the CMDB.
About this task
After you add a new software image CI to the CMDB and reference it in a repository, you can select the CI for a manual software distribution task. Choose this method of adding CIs only if you are working with a repository that is not associated with an operational management product (OMP).
A software image CI that is added using this task has the classification APP.SOFTWAREIMAGE. If you have not defined this CI classification, you must do so before you can add a CI in this dialog box. You can define the classification in the Classifications application, which is part of the Administration module. For more information, see the online help for the Classifications application.
