The following properties can be found in sys_properties.list and on the Change properties page.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| com.snc.change_request.refresh_impacted.include_affected_cis |
Note:
If dynamic CI groups are used on the Change form, then this property must be
set to true as the associations are located in the svc_ci_assoc table. When a business service is converted to an application service (as an example), all the levels included in the svc_ci_assoc table are considered at the time of conversion. |
| change.conflict.populateimpactedcis | If this property is set to true, then the ChangeCollisionHelper script include checks the configuration items that have been identified in the list of conflicts against the Application services mapping table (svc_ci_assoc) and also table (cmdb_ci_service) to check if there are any business services that are directly impacted. |
