During my research I found the following statement here on this forum: "Service Maps are drawn based on the endpoints"
Next I wanted to understand the convertion process and found the following information:
"This conversion is to the Dynamic Services class (cmdb_ci_service_calculated).It will sync a number of levels dept from the cmdb_rel_ci table to the svc_ci_assoc table (flat table)."
OK, the convertion process will create ci-associations in svc_ci_assoc based on the cmdb_rel_ci table which will be used for creating the service map. Thats required because Service Mapping is using CI Association instead of CI-Relations.
Now my questions:
- Since Service Maps are drawn based on endpoints, these enpoints must be created during the convertion!?
- How does this convertion works when the source for the convertion is the cmdb_re_ci table?
Well, I really like to understand what is happening during the convertion and the creation of these manual endpoints.
I propably could find the answers in the UI-script which is doing the convert, but this is confusing me even more...
Any help is highly appreciated.
