We have CMDB with discovery enabled, it is creating the record in CMDB when it is discovered with status as Installed. We have enabled the Life cycle mapping to map the CI Life cycle stage and life cycle stage status. I want to know if I need to manually manage the CI's operational state what is the best practice to mark a CI's operation state as "Retired" and that will update the Life cycle stage and life cycle stage status automatically. Or if there is any better way to handle this ?
