Create Relationships

You can create relationships to establish associations between CIs. When you create relationships, consider the following:

• Circular relationships are not supported.
• Do not create multiple relationships between the same CIs that follow the same direction (with the same source and target).

Follow these steps:

1. Perform a search or browse for the CI that you want to be the source in the relationship.

   The Properties page opens for the CI you select.

2. Click Go to the right of Create New Relationship.
3. Complete the following required fields:

   Note: The CI property fields vary depending on the entity type you select. To view information about a CI property, mouseover the question mark to the right of a CI property.

   Semantic

   Defines the relationship type. Select one of the BinaryRelationship types defined in the USM schema.

   Source

   Defines the source CI in the relationship. This field is already populated with the CI you originally selected. You can change the source CI if necessary.

   Target

   Defines the target CI in the relationship. Enter the hexadecimal string contained in the URL of the USM Properties page for the target CI.

4. (Optional) Complete any of the optional fields as necessary. To view information about a CI property, mouseover the question mark to the right of a CI property.
5. Click Submit changed values .

   The relationship is created between the CIs within the service defined in the scope field. If the CIs did not already exist in the service, they are added with the new relationship.
