Status propagation in relationships

Status propagation is the passing of a status or a modified status from one CI to another through a relationship. Depending on the status propagation model assigned to the relationship, the cell can automatically propagate the status of a provider component through its outbound impact relationships as new conditions occur, such as the following details:

• The component's status changes.
• The state of an outbound impact relationship changes, altering the status propagation from the provider component.

This status can then be propagated to subsequent components within the service model.

The service model ensures that each impact relationship instance is associated with a valid status propagation model.
