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.
