Identify and Model Applications from Existing Data

  1. In the Service Modeling tab, click .
  2. From the Choose Application Type drop-down list, select one of the available templates.

    Note To add a perspective-based view to this list of templates, add it to the UCMDB_Browser_Service_Modeling bundle as part of the TQL query definition in UCMDB.

  3. Select one or more of the displayed CIs. You can filter the list of displayed CIs by typing a string in the Quick Search field.

    The CIs that are displayed in the list are the results of running a perspective-based view in UCMDB, but only the CIs that were returned by the contact node of the view. For example, if a view contains a Node (the contact node) connected to an IP address, only Node instances that are connected to IP addresses will appear in the list, and not all Nodes.

  4. When you are finished, click . The Template Modeling pane opens, which allows you to define properties for each of the models you are creating. You can change the following properties:

    Field Description
    Name

    Enter a name for the service model.

    For template-based models, a predefined name is assigned, consisting of the name of the CI on which the model is based and the type of the service.

    Owner Select an owner from the drop-down list. This list includes all CIs connected to the business service CI type with an Ownership relationship.
    Stakeholders Select a stakeholder from the drop-down list. This list includes all CIs connected to the business service CI type with a Usage relationship.
    Business Criticality

    Select the desired business criticality from the drop-down list. This attribute of the CI type indicates the relative importance of the service to the business. For more information, see "CI Type Manager Page" in the Universal CMDB Modeling Guide.

    Type Select a CI type from the drop-down list. By default, the BusinessApplication type is selected. This CI type represents the service on which the Service Model is based. Only CI types that have the SERVICE_MODEL qualifier assigned in the CI Type Manager in UCMDB appear in this drop-down list and can be used to model services.
    Description Enter an optional description for the model.
    Category Select a category for the model. Possible categories might be Draft, Test, Development, or Production.

    Note Click Apply same to all models to apply each setting to all of the models you are working on.
