Troubleshooting the Dynamic Service Modeling plug-in


The Dynamic Service Modeling (DSM) plug-in is the background engine that wakes up periodically and queries to see if there are any new CI or modified CIs that meet the criteria in the saved queries for a specified CI. If a CI is found, a relationship is created to relate it to the specified CI. The DSM plug-in uses its own sandbox dataset to make changes and then runs a Reconciliation Engine job to BMC.ASSET. 

By using the DSM plug-in, you can dynamically relate physical CIs to a technical service. For example, the Web Farm Technical service could have a query that finds any web server with web_aus_ in the front part of the name.
