Get Related Widget

The Get Related widget presents an improved way to explore environment data. In addition to viewing the CIs that are related to a selected CI, you can add or remove from the map CIs that are related to a CI in the map. Details about related CIs can be displayed in either textual or graphical mode.

User preferences are saved in the UCMDB server's user preferences.

Widget Details Mode

The widget details mode presents the details about related CIs in either textual or graphical mode, whichever was last used. Graphical mode is the default view mode.

Toolbar

The top row of the Get Related Widget acts as a toolbar and enables you to switch between graphical and textual modes.
Graphical mode

Note When the UCMDB Browser is embedded in an UCMDB server running on a Linux system, runlevel 5 (enabled X server) is needed for the graphical mode of the Get Related Widget to operate properly. In addition, add unset DISPLAY to the server.sh script. Restart the UCMDB Server for the server.sh changes to take effect.

In graphical mode, information is displayed in a topology map format. Using the Get Related widget allows you to automatically bring in the map all the related CIs.

In UCMDB, Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager > UCMDB Browser Settings > Maximum nodes that can be explored using Get Related setting, you can specify the maximum number of nodes to be displayed in the map. The default value is 20.

Note If you do not want to limit the number of nodes to be displayed in the map when accessing the Get Related widget, the value of the Maximum nodes that can be explored using Get Related setting in UCMDB, Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager > UCMDB Browser Settings has to be -1.

If the number of related CIs is higher than the specified number, the following message is displayed : "The CI contains over "X" related CIs. Select the CIs you want to show on map".

In the Get Related Map you can explore the related CIs for all the CIs displayed in the map. You can manually add or remove from the map CIs that are related to a selected CI, by using the Right panel. To go back to a previous state displayed in the get related map, select the desired CI in the Navigation Context menu. Starting with UCMDB Browser 4.12, you can view in the Right panel the CI Type's count information displayed in parentheses.
