View affected services of Incidents and Changes

If you want to see a list of services that are potentially affected by an outage related to the CIs specified in an Incident or Change record, click the View Affected Services command on the More menu. When you open an Incident record, you can examine detailed information for any of the CIs in the list to determine the potential impact of an outage relating to critical, dependent services. The View Affected Services command also enables you to plan appropriately when you open a Change record. You can determine how a planned outage affects these services.

When you click View Affected Services on the More menu, the system processes the outage spreads relating to the CIs in the Incident or Change record by browsing the configuration relationship records in the cirelationship table. This process is independent of any outage dependency information specified in the relationship records. No matter how many hierarchy levels a CI is above or below a service, the system browses all levels from the CI in the record to build a list of CIs. After this list is built, the system searches for any outage dependency information specified in the relationship records for those CIs in the list and removes any CIs that do not meet the conditions for outage dependencies. This final list of CIs then opens and you can select a CI for detailed information from the Configuration Management record.

Note: The list of CIs generated does not include the CIs specified in the primary Incident or Change record.
