Discovery Patterns

[ChittiS]

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to understand the difference between sn_discovery_patterns and sa_pattern. Both appear to point to the same Pattern table, so I'm curious about their specific purposes and use cases.

Could someone help clarify the distinction?

Thanks!

Hi @ChittiS,

"Patterns of all types are stored in the Discovery Patterns [sa_pattern] table."

So, sa_pattern is the actual table where Discovery and Service Mapping patterns are stored.

The sn_discovery_patterns name is associated with the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application/scope, whereas sa_pattern is the underlying table that contains the pattern records.

"Patterns of all types are stored in the Discovery Patterns [sa_pattern] table."

• sa_pattern = Discovery Patterns table (stores the pattern records)
• sn_discovery_patterns = Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application/scope

For Pattern Designer, Discovery Patterns, and Service Mapping Patterns, the records are ultimately stored in sa_pattern.
