DSM Relationship Direction

(Available only for fresh installation)

Changes the direction of the BMC Dependency relationship between a service CI and an infrastructure CI.

For example, Helpdesk is a service that is dependent on the computer systems that have the service management application installed. To relate the Helpdesk business service to all the relevant computer systems, select the DSM Relationship Direction check-box and create a DSM query. When the query runs, the BMC_Dependency relationship will show that the Helpdesk service is dependent on the computer systems.

Changing this option does not affect the existing service models. However, if you want the change to be reflected in the existing service models, you must delete the existing dependency relationship, and run the DSM query.

This parameter has the following options:

Selected: The service is dependent on the infrastructure.

Cleared: The infrastructure is dependent on the service.

Check-box is clearedNA
