Hi,

Can anyone suggest a best relationship type we can use for creating relationship between Application and Database in CMDB.

For creating a relationship between an Application and a Database in the CMDB, a common and effective relationship type is "Depends on :: Provides".

@Bhaskar Palle1 The most appropriate relationship type would typically be "Depends on :: Used by"  Using this relationship type will allow you to model the dependency accurately

Do we have this relationship type "Depends on :: Provides" available in ServiceNow? or do we need to customize or create a new relationship type?

Hi @Bhaskar Palle1 

• "Depends on :: Used by":

  • Application "Depends on" Database: This relationship type implies that the application relies on the database for its operations. The application cannot function without the database.
  • Database "Used by" Application: Conversely, the database is used by the application, indicating the flow of usage.

Mark it Helpful and Accept Solution!! If this helps you to understand.
