Related Query Node Type Page

This wizard page enables you to add a query node to the TQL query.

Important information

If the TQL query is empty, drag the required TQL query node on to the editing pane from the tree displayed in the Configuration Item Types pane.

For general information on the Add Related Query Node Wizard, see Add Related Query Node Wizard.

Wizard map

The Add Related Query Node Wizard contains:

Related Query Node Type Page > Relationship Type Page > Related Query Node Properties Page > Related Query Node Instances Page

User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

UI Element (A-Z) Description
Expand All. Expands all the folders in the tree.
Collapse All. Collapses all the folders in the tree.
Tree View Move a selected row up

Tree View.Enables you to select the display format of the CI type tree. The following options are available:

  • by Display label

  • by Class name

  • by Legacy class name

Note This feature is only available in the Modeling Studio.

<query node> is required

Define the relationship cardinality. For details, see Query Node/Relationship Properties Dialog Box.

  • Select the <query node> is required check box for each query node to include a minimum of one instance of the query node at the other end of the relationship in the query results. Selecting the check box gives the relationship a cardinality value of 1..*.

  • Clear the <query node> is required check box to give the relationship a cardinality value of 0..*.

<TQL Query Node hierarchy tree>

Select the required query node. The query node you select appears in the Element name box.

This list only includes the query nodes of the CI type that have valid relationships to the selected (source) query node.

To the right of each query node, the number of CI instances that exist in the CMDB for that CI type is displayed. The number of instances is only updated after you close the Add Related Query Node Wizard and open it again.

Note The first query node in the hierarchy tree is selected by default.

Element name

(Optional) Contains the name of the selected query node. By default, the CI type is assigned as the element's name.

You can rename a TQL query node in the Element name box giving it a unique label. This can be helpful when there is more than one query node of the same CI type in the TQL query.

Show only CITs with instances

Select this check box to display only the CITs of which there are instances in the CMDB. If this box is not selected, the tree includes all CITs with a valid link to the source query node.

Note The Show only CITs with instances check box is selected by default.
