How to create Service Mapping discovery schedule

[Antal1]

How do I create a discovery schedule for business services which have entry points defined? I do not want to run horizontal host or application discovery but the top-down discovery of service mapping.

Currently the only option I see is to reuse the script from Run Discovery UI action and create my own schedule record:

var bsManager = new SNC.BusinessServiceManager();
bsManager.startDiscovery(current.sys_id);

Hi Antal,

That's right. The approach you suggest is the way to go to create a discovery for a specific business service.

About 10 months ago i wrote a small blog about it: Scheduling the discovery of a specific business service and since then there hasn't been someone proposing a different method that actually works 🙂

One important clarification: ServiceMapping will always execute internally the host discovery of each host as it is crawling through the infrastructure. It's a fundamental part of the Service Mapping discovery process.

Thanks,

Berny

Regarding your clarification. I have a HI ticket with support because we only use ServiceMapping and it seems like that the discovery it is running on the host is not the same when running horizontal discovery.

When running only ServiceMapping, the phisycal drives on some Windows servers do not get identified. When I run horizontal discovery on the host they get identified. Response from support is to run horizontal discovery before ServiceMapping which I find a bit odd.

I hope this helps! 🙂
