A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Impact Rules

The impact layer consists of impact rules. The impact rules are defined in the CI Type Manager. For details, see Triplets Page.

An impact rule is defined by one or more triplets. Each triplet is defined by the following components:

One source CI type
One target CI type
A physical relationship type (for example, Containment) that links the two CI types
The required impact direction. The direction of the impact can be identical to or opposite from the direction of the physical relationship between the source and target CIs.

HPE Business Service Management implements the impact layer by creating calculated relationships that are defined by impact rules. Once one of the triplets fulfills the impact rule condition, HPE Business Service Management automatically creates the calculated relationship based on the triplet definition.

Since calculated relationships are defined by physical relationships from within the class model, their lifetime is determined by the lifetime of the physical relationships defined in the impact rule. When the physical relationship in the class model is removed, the corresponding calculated relationship is removed from all view results as well.

Note If you create a new CI type or relationship in the CI Type Manager, you need to define the required triplets. For example, to enable the impact model to properly affect KPI propagation. If the triplets are not defined, the required KPIs are not included in the Dashboard views and SLA agreements.

You can use calculated relationships to create TQL queries just like any other relationship in the CI Type model. This enables you to base Enrichment rules, Impact rules, and views on calculated relationships. Calculated relationships affect the results of all TQLs that use that calculated relationships since calculated relationships are part of the class model.
