CMDB_CI table database view

[anvitha ash]

Hi,

I am trying to build database view between "cmdb_ci" table with "cmdb_ci_business_app", "cmdb_ci_desktop_software", "cmdb_rel_ci", "cmdb_ci_server"

I am stuck with what needs to be the where clause condition. I don't have exposure to CMDB tables and database view

can someone help me with it

Hi Anvitha,

Depending on, what you are trying to achieve you may want to check out the CMDB query builder instead of creating a database view.

Build a CMDB query using the CMDB Query Builder (servicenow.com)

The cmdb_rel_ci table acts an m2m between cmdb_ci tables. So your where clause should take in to consideration the parent and child fields being references to cmdb_ci.

Hope this helps.

@CasperJT thanks for your response,

Initially we tried to build query builder but it doesn't fulfill our requirement.

We have 3 custom fields in the "cmdb_ci_business_app" , "cmdb_ci_desktop_software" and network gear table. we want to create common view between cmdb_ci table with these tables for reporting 

As i am new to CMDB not sure how these tables can be mapped. Not sure what should be the where clause 

[CasperJT]

If you want to create a db view between cmdb_ci and cmdb_rel_ci then you will need to use a where clause similar to

rel_parent=bus_app_sys_id

rel being the view table cmdb_rel_ci and bus_app being cmdb_ci_business_app.

You will need to do the same for the child field on the cmdb_rel_ci table.

Hope this makes sense.
