Relations

Most of the time you require the context of a data entity:

  • What service is this CI used for? (cmdb_rel_ci, svc_ci_assoc)
  • Who is responsible for administrating the CI? (cmdb_rel_team)
  • SLA to Tasks (1-N Relation)
  • What tasks are related to a CI (task_ci)

CMDB CI Relations

CI Relationships (cmdb_rel_ci) are the ServiceNow default way of representing relationships between CIs.

1-to-N Relations

1-to-N relations are situations where a CI has a reference to e.g., its parent CI.

M-to-N Relations

M-to-N relations may be based on any database table that connects to other tables. These may be ServiceNow Many to Many tables (sys_m2m), but Squid will take any table that has to reference fields.

We track. Ok?
