About this task

Note:

If you have set up the entity types and pillars from the Workspace view in the earlier step (Set up pillars, entity types, and generate entities), you can ignore this step and proceed to Main node configurations: A component of the Data Relationships Framework.

The Operational Resilience base system includes the pre-defined pillars such as Technology, Facilities, People, Services, Processes, and Suppliers. You can create a pillar or use the pre-defined pillar for your business requirement.

The following pillars are now added in the tables: Application Service, Service Offering, Business Services, and Data.

For the pillars to function, entity types are used to create the necessary entities.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Operational Resilience > Admin > Pillars.

   The following example shows the pillars in the base system. For each of the pillars, a default entity type is included in the base system. For example, the Technology pillar has the Technology entity type pre-selected.

   Figure 1. Pillars in the base system

   

   Beginning with Release 20.0.x, the following entity types have been added in the tables:

   • Application Service
   • Service Offering
   • Business Services
   • Data
2. To create a pillar, select New.

   Figure 2. GRC Choice record for creating a pillar

   

   Beginning with Release 21.x.x, the [sn_grc_choice] table includes an Active field. The pillars are shipped in an inactive state by default. You must activate the pillars from the list view before activating the entity types, as the entity types depend on the pillars. Activation of entity types can only occur after pillar activation.

3. On the form, fill in the fields.
   For a description of the field values, see GRC Choices form.
4. Select Submit.
