CSA Exam - Question 79


Which tool is used for creating dependencies between configuration items in the CMDB?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The CI Relationship Editor is the tool used for creating dependencies between configuration items in the CMDB. It allows users to view, create, modify, or delete CI relationships, defining which is the base CI class and which is the dependent one, as well as the type of dependency. The CI Class Manager, on the other hand, is used to manage the class definitions and settings within the CMDB, but not the relationships between individual CIs.

A is the correct answer. The CI Relationship Editor is used to create Configuration Item relationship and define which is the base CI class, which is the dependant one and what is the dependency. The CI Class Manager is a central location for the CI class hierarchy in the CMDB 0 it displays the entire CI Class hierarchy in a tree-view format and consolidates CI class definitions in a central location

Correct answer is A. 1. Open a CI (for ex. Java Application Server FLX) 2. Click on '+' (Add CI relationships) 3. This will bring up 'Relationship Editor'. 4. Select the relationship type, then a configuration item, then in Relationship grid click '+' to add new relationship. 5. Hover over '+' (in step 4) it reads... 'Create new relationship with selected configuration item(s)'

When you use the relationship editor, the CI from which the editor was launched is designated as the base CI. You can then select one or more CIs as a second CI for the relationship. Depending on the selected relationship type, the base CI can become the parent CI or the child CI in the new relationship.

(ChatGPT) The CI Relationship Editor is the tool you would use to create dependencies between Configuration Items (CIs) in the CMDB. This tool allows you to: • Define and establish relationships, including dependency relationships, between individual CIs. • Create, modify, and visualize how CIs depend on each other (e.g., a server depending on a database, or an application depending on a server). By using the CI Relationship Editor, you can ensure that the relationships between different CIs reflect the actual dependencies within your IT infrastructure.
