My company is currently undergoing the transition from Install Status/Asset Status to Life cycle stage and statuses. I was told that the life_cycle_control table can be used to identify what life cycle stage and status fields would be able to use on each table. However when I filter the life_cycle_control table to look at what stage and statuses are available for a specific class in the CMDB, I do not see that it is accurate. For example, when I look at the life_cycle_controls table and filter it down to table=service, I see 4 possible values for Life Cycle Stage:
However when I go look at a CI that is a child of the Service Class (application service), I am seeing more than the 4 life cycle stages that were listed in the controls table for this class.
Is there some sort of inheritance that is happening on the life_cycle_control table? If so how do you know which values are being inherited or not because I have seen some of the values are being inherited from Server's parent class Configuration Item and some are not being inherited. Thank you in advanced!
