Thank you for your answer.

Actually we are looking to implement ITIL. Therefore, the CMDB will be connected to tickets and services. This is the problem. The functionality of ITSM to implement Configuration Management with Incidents and Changes have little or no documentation.

Do you know where to find more information or support? (for free :-) )

Carlos,

Since you don't seem to have a "proper" ITIL implementation, you're
probably better off thinking of the CMDB as a mere inventory which you
can link to other things like tickets and services.

OTRS::ITSM already has class definitions for the CMDB (types of IT
assets like computers, networks, et al.) and fields for each of those
types. You can edit those "fields" through the OTRS::ITSM Admin, Config.
Item, and then select a class. Most likely you'll work with the Computer
class. The syntax is straightforward (a Perl data structure)

Once you do that (seriously, do you need any more information than what
plain OTRS::ITSM already has?) you can import CIs (assets) in OTRS if
you don't have someone who can type them in the system (which is easier
if you have complex data in your CIs)

Let us know if you need any more information,
Jose
