    Note:
    If you do not use CSDM 4.0 or later versions, see the Rome documentation for CSDM. For implementing CSDM framework, see Implementing the CSDM framework in stages.

    APM home page

    The APM home page organizes many of the CSDM tables used by APM.

    APM home page presents business, information, application, and technology portfolios.

    Business Portfolio

    For more information about using capability mapping to establish a configuration item (CI) relationship between the business capability and the business applications, see [product].
