By Software Model view

The By Software Model view displays the Software Models > Business Applications > Application Services.

By this view you can view the list of all software models along with the full version. When you click to expand the software model, you can view all the business applications that run on that software model. On further expansion of the business application, you can view all the application services that the business applications support.

There is no direct cmdb CI relationship between a business application and a software model. Whereas a business application and an application service are related by cmdb relationship. For the application service, there are related software models that are stored and retrieved from the Application Service Software Models [sn_apm_tpm_service_software_model] table. Hence, the advantage of the By Software Model view is that you can directly view all the business applications that run on that software model and its full version.

By this view, you can only view the software models that have at least one or more business applications running on it.

  You can add a project to the software model only when you activate PPM Standard (com.snc.financial_planning_pmo) plugin.
