Relationship types

Component

Establishes component (or "part of") relationships between managed elements.

For example, this relationship class can be used to define the patches that are installed on a software product. It can also be used to define the activities or steps that make up a business process. This class corresponds to the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) CIM_Component class.

Dependency

Establishes dependency relationships between object store elements

Element Location

Relates a managed element to a location for site, inventory, and maintenance purposes. Physical elements can have locations, however, other managed elements might also be related to locations. For example, organizations might exist in one or more location, or services might be restricted to one location.

Hosted Access Point

Relates an access point and the system on which it resides. This relationship is 1-to-many and is weak with respect to the system. Each system might host many service access points. If the implementation of the access point is modeled, it must be implemented by a device or software feature that is part of the system hosting the service access point.

Hosted Service

Relates a service and the system on which the service resides. The relationship is 1-to-many and is weak with respect to the service. A service is hosted on the stem where logical devices or software features that implement the service are located. The model does not represent services hosted across multiple systems. The service is modeled as an application system that acts as an aggregation point for services that are each located on a single host.

Hosted System Components

A specialization of the Component relationship that establishes "part of" relationships between a system and the managed system elements of which the system is composed

This relationship class is a subclass of BMC_Component, representing a more specific type of component relationship. Use this class to relate system components, and use the BMC_Component to relate other types of components. This class does not correspond to the DMTF CIM_Component class.

Impact

Generically relates impact relationships between objects

This relationship class represents a generic association used to establish impact relationships between objects. This class does not correspond to the DMTF CIM_Component class.

Inventory Bulk Items

Relates a bulk item to inventory location

Inventory Computer Systems

Relates a computer system to inventory location

Inventory System Components

Relates a system component to inventory location

Member Of Collection

Establishes membership of managed elements in a collection.

This relationship class represents a set of CIs to establish membership of base managed elements in a collection. A collection is a logical grouping of related entities into an abstract container object. For example, this relationship can be used to link endpoints, systems, or users to an instance of BMC_Collection or its subclasses. This class corresponds to the DMTF class CIM_MemberOfCollection.

Settings Of

Relates a managed element to the applicable setting data and describes whether this is the default or current setting
