Automated Service Modeling (ASM) Support for Service Manager 9.41

ASM support is available for Service Manager 9.41 only. Each Service Manager 9.41 adapter in CP 17 provides an ASM TQL query, which enables the UCMDB-SM integration to push ASM discovered consumer-provider relationships from UCMDB to Service Manager. Be aware that only consumer-provider relationships that directly point from a Business Element CI to a Running Software CI can be pushed; the adapters currently do not support ASM discovered consumer-provider relationships between a Business Element CI and a Cluster CI.

Additionally, you can tailor Service Manager 9.41 so that Service Manager users can launch the Service Modeling module and the Risk Simulation widget of the UCMDB Browser, in the context of a Business Service and an affected CI, respectively. Such tailoring enables Service Manager users to view the UCMDB Browser discovered tree structure of a business service and the risk analysis results for different severity levels of a CI. This can facilitate service modeling and risk analysis in Service Manager.

For more information about the integration with Service Manager, see the Universal CMDB integration guides for Service Manager 9.41. You can download the guides from the following HP Software Support Online (SSO) page: Service Manager 9.3x and 9.4x Document Matrix

For more information about ASM, see ASM Documents.
