GRC: Crisis Map - Update dependencies button

[Supriya P]

Hi Team,

We are working on GRC : Crisis Map.

In Event table(sn_recovery_event) there is a button "Update dependencies " (you can refer below screenshot)

Can anyone please help how this button will work?

Where to add dependencies?

Hi @Supriya P ,

When you select the Update dependencies action button, the system adds the CMDB dependencies.For events and exercises, when you select the Update dependencies action button, the system adds the CMDB, BIA, and Business Continuity Planning (BCP) dependencies after an upgrade. To maintain compatibility with the previous releases, the BCM administrator can configure the sources and keep only BIA upstream dependency and BIA downstream dependencies as the sources in the update configuration.

Hi @Supriya P ,

As the BCM application user, when you select the Update dependencies UI action in the Event record, the dependencies of all assets are added manually where the source is Manual.

The BCM application executes a workflow to update the impacted assets in the events and exercises as shown in the following example.

1. The BCM planner navigates to the event record.
2. The BCM planner selects the Update dependencies UI action to add the assets manually.

3. The application checks if the event record matches any configuration filter.

4. If the event record matches any configuration filter, the system gets the dependencies of the added assets in real time according to the sources defined in the configuration (Event dependency source configuration module).
5. If the event record does not match any configuration filter, the events workflow then continues for the next steps, the events workflow then continues for the next steps.

For more information on updating the event dependencies manually, see Update the event dependencies manually.

@Community Alums ,

Can you please confirm,

when the dependencies are added to an event by clicking on "Update Dependencies" button where the dependencies get updated in the crisis map as well as in the event table?

Do we need to script to get impacted assets?

Hi @Supriya P ,

No need for Script as the UI button has a script include which does the job for you automatically.
