Hi Steve,

 

How are you able to select different classes in the attributes section. When I tried it is not showing any other class option in the drop down list. Am I missing something here ?

On What different scenarios can we define Orphan CI.. can you give any examples ?

@Steve Arnold, can orphan rules show relationships which are flowing the wrong direction, i.e. we want Application runs on Server, but we have Server runs on Application.

Hi,

Yes, you can have the condition in relationship tab as shown above in Arnolds pic.


Thanks,
Ashutosh

Hi,

There are storage disks with child as 'empty' who appear in the Orphan list. As storage disks do not necessarily need a child relationship, how do I create an orphan rule to exclude storage disks with child relationship as empty.
