COURSE ABSTRACT
ATRIUM DISCOVERY AND DEPENDENCY MAPPING
BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency
Mapping 10.0: Creating Patterns
Course Overview
COURSE CODE
» AUTO-DMCP-1000
PRODUCT RELEASE
» BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency
Mapping v10.0
DELIVERY METHOD 
» Instructor Led Training (ILT)
COURSE DURATION
» 5 Days
TARGET AUDIENCE 
» Technical members of the project team
responsible for deploying BMC Atrium
Discovery and Dependency Mapping
– Configuration Managers
– Project Managers
This course enables participants to extend and maintain a BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency
Mapping (BMC Atrium Discovery) deployment beyond the initial baseline. This course also enables
participants to extend discovery using the product’s Collaborative Application Mapping (CAM)
feature and The Pattern Language (TPL) to discover and model the complex custom software and
business applications.
IMPORTANT
Included in this course is the examination for BMC Accredited Administrator: BMC Atrium
Discovery and Dependency Mapping 10.0. Taking the exam and pursuing accreditation is
optional, however all students enrolled in the BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping
10.0: Creating Patterns course automatically are enrolled in the exam. Following the completion
of the BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping 10.0: Creating Patterns course, you will
have three weeks to take the BMC Accredited Administrator examination online. You can take the
exam twice within this period. Those who pass will receive the title of BMC Accredited
Administrator: BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping 10.0. Those who do not take
the exam within this timeframe will not be granted a retake.
Course Objectives
» Describe the data model and operating principles
» Review important functions in The Pattern Language
» Describe the Collaborative Application Mapping process
» Adapt pattern templates to discover custom software
» Use the manual pattern execution to quickly test the patterns
PREREQUISITES
» Use The Pattern Language (TPL) concepts
» Familiarity with the Linux command line
» Extract data using XPath and Regular Expressions
interface
» Knowledge of simple regular expressions
and scripting languages such as Perl,
Python, or Bash
» Recommended but not required:
BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency
Mapping 10.0: Administering (ILT)
» Write efficient regular expressions for triggers
» Model Software Instances and Business Application Instances
» Identify the techniques available to discover the versions of Software Instances and Business
Application Instances
» Build a complete, versioned application model with relationships
» Describe best practices to use TPL and develop solutions
