question about App Service to Technical Service Offering - suggested relationship

[Tom Sienkiewicz]

Hey Everyone,

a quick question: what is the Suggested Relationship record OOTB for connection between App Service and TSO? It is defined as "Contains::Contained By". I'm looking through my PDI and while I can see a Suggested Relationship record for App service <> BSO (at the parent Service level), I can find no such equivalent for TSO.

Can anyone please point me to which one it should be, maybe it is missing on my instance, or I am missing something here? Or is SN creating this relationship behind the scenes without the existence of suggested relationship (which should not happen IMO)...

Many thanks in advance! 

Tom

Hi Tom,

You can refer to the docs for the proper relationships between CSDM entities:

CI relationships in the CSDM

You are correct that it is supposed to be Contains::Contained by.

As far as I can tell there is no suggested relationship for service offering in my dev instance.

This tracks with the idea that you should use to the Application Service "builder" to add those relationships.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Tom Sienkiewicz 

Be aware that CSDM does not create any of these relationships for you from the basic records.  As @CasperJT mentions this is something you are expected to manage in the Application Service wizard, which you can get to from CSDM > Manage Technical Services >Application Service - either open an existing App Service or create a new one. Once you get to the final panel and update the App Service it will link the selected records together that you defined in the "Set relationships" section in the screenshot in the post above.

I hope this helps!
