Service Mapping Question

[BoHyun Jung]

In Service Mapping, which one of the following best describes the process of discovery after an Entry Point is configured?
A. For each pattern that supports the Entry Point Type, run all the Identification Sections and run all Extension Sections.
B. For each pattern that supports the Entry Point Type, run Identification Sections until one finishes successfully and then run all Extension Sections for the pattern.
C. For each pattern that supports the Entry Point Type, run all the Identification Sections that finish successfully and then run each Extension Section for the pattern.
D. For each pattern that supports the Entry Point Type, run Identification Sections until one finishes successfully and then run Extensions Sections until one finishes successfully.

Can you give me the correct answer and a detailed explanation?

Hi @BoHyun Jung ,

The correct answer is:

**B. For each pattern that supports the Entry Point Type, run Identification Sections until one finishes successfully and then run all Extension Sections for the pattern.**

Explanation:

- In Service Mapping, when an Entry Point is configured, the discovery process involves patterns that support the Entry Point Type.

- The Identification Sections within these patterns are executed, and the first one that finishes successfully is used to identify the service.

- After a successful Identification Section, all Extension Sections for the corresponding pattern are then executed. These Extension Sections enhance the discovered service and gather additional information.

Therefore, option B accurately describes the sequence of steps in the discovery process after an Entry Point is configured in Service Mapping.

Thanks,

Danish

hi

B. For each pattern that supports the Entry Point Type, run Identification Sections until one finishes successfully and then run all Extension Sections for the pattern.

This option is correct. It indicates that the identification process stops once a successful identification is achieved, and then all Extension Sections for the identified pattern are executed.

so option B is the correct choice as it accurately reflects the sequential flow of the Service Mapping discovery process after a successful identification.

Hi All

Answer -- B. For each pattern that supports the Entry Point Type, run Identification Sections until one finishes successfully and then run all Extension Sections for the pattern.**

In Service Mapping, the process of discovery occurs after an Entry Point is configured. An Entry Point is a starting point for the discovery process, typically representing a configuration item (CI) or an application component that you want to discover and map.

The provided option B states:

"For each pattern that supports the Entry Point Type, run Identification Sections until one finishes successfully, and then run all Extension Sections for the pattern."

Here's a breakdown of the key components:

1. Patterns: In Service Mapping, patterns are predefined templates or scripts that help in identifying and mapping a particular type of configuration item (CI). Each pattern is associated with an Entry Point Type.

2. Identification Sections: Patterns have Identification Sections, which are responsible for identifying the specific configuration item. These sections may contain probes or scripts to gather information needed for identification.

3. Extension Sections: Once a successful Identification Section is found (i.e., one finishes successfully), the associated Extension Sections for that pattern are executed. Extension Sections gather additional details, relationships, and other relevant information about the discovered configuration item.

So, the process described in option B emphasizes that the system will go through the available patterns, run Identification Sections until it finds a successful match, and then proceed to run all Extension Sections associated with that pattern to gather comprehensive information during the discovery process.
