This consists of several related components, the pattern uses the security component as the trigger and creates related process links to the other components. The main discovery server has the type "BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping". Application Model Produced by Software Pattern Software Pattern ModelīMC Discovery consists of the main discovery server and proxies that are used for discovering windows hosts. To read ~/etc/cret., a user should be a part of the tideway group.

The Discovery pattern runs tw_config_dump to get version and other information, whether the machine is in a cluster. Then versioning information is fetched with help of xpath function: The pattern launches the following command for BMC Discovery version 9.0 and above: '/usr/tideway/bin/tw_config_dump'. If a build number is available it is added to the full version of the product. The first package returned that contains a version is used to assign it. The Atrium Discovery pattern attempts to obtain information from the version field of packages matching the following regular expression:

The Proxy pattern attempts to obtain information from the version field or the name field of packages matching the following regular expression (for proxies of version 8.2.3 and later): If the path to the trigger process is fully qualified, the pattern attempts to obtain version information from the trigger process using a WMI query. The pattern then attempts to run the following command and parses the output with the following regular expression. The pattern obtains the install_root by parsing the trigger process with the following regular expression: This method is deployed if the pattern triggers on tw_svc_proxy.exe (modern versions of BMC Discovery use tw_svc_proxy.exe as a trigger process, versions prior to 8.2.3 use other triggers and active versioning is not available) Version information for the product is currently collected using the following methods sorted by the product components: Proxy Active versioning Starting from version 11.0 BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping becomes 'BMC Discovery'. The BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping Proxy are referred to as "BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping Slave" for versions prior to 8.3. The BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping are referred to as "Tideway Foundation" for versions prior to 8.0.
