Working with Communication Mappings

The Communication Mappings page contains a table that shows which ports map to which applications in your environment. These mappings are used in the Server Details, Relationships page as described in View Relationship Details.

The following sequence describes how CA Configuration Automation uses the mapping between the two ports (one on Server 1, and one on Server 2) to determine which port is used.

• If the destination port (Server 2) has a corresponding entry in the Communication Mappings table, it is used to identify the communication.
• Otherwise, if the source port (Server 1) has a corresponding entry in the Communication Mappings table, it is used to identify the communication.
• If neither of the ports has a corresponding entry in the Communication Mappings table, the communication is labeled Unknown on the View Relationships page.
