Here are some of the questions which came up during the live webinar.

Q: When will 8.0 be available?

A: The 8.0 release will be made available the first week of February

Q: How will the new modeling changes affect my current custom views?

A: There are no more instance views, it’s just views and custom perspectives that provide the content in the view, the upgrade for most customers should be straightforward, unless they have changed the model, created new CI types with custom links or are heavily using pattern views with impact analysis, correlation rules and alerts.

Q: How about integration with HP Operations Manager? Can we leverage our current HPOV infrastructure monitoring capabilities and marry data with BAC application monitoring?

A: Yes with HP problem Isolation we have support of OM (Operations Manager) through event correlation to application problem/ anomaly start time.

Q: I was told that the DDM portion of the new 8.0 can discover WebLogic 10.x iis it true?
