Service component
Each actual service contains one or more service components. Each service component can support one or more actual services.
The service component and the actual service represent the business service logic of the organization in the Service Asset and Configuration Management data model.
Example:
Store (category)
Book Store (service definition)
Buy new book (actual service)
Orders application (service component)
Catalog application (service component)
Shipment application (service component)
Buy used book (actual service)
Orders application (service component)

In this example, the actual services each contain three service components. These service components are the Orders, Catalog and Shipment application. Each component supports the actual service. A service component can also depend on another actual service. For example, the Catalog application uses Database services.
