Domain separation
When creating a service family for mapping services based on tags in domain-separated environment, you must pick the relevant leaf domain. Service Mapping populates tag-based services based on this service family only with CIs belonging to the leaf domain to which the service family belongs. If you have domain separation without Performance Analytics domain support, you can't see data visualization for the total number of tag-based service maps versus service candidates. You’re then redirected to install the Performance Analytics Domain Support plugin.
