Loop Detection During Impact Analysis

CA SOI detects loops during an impact analysis. An administrator can configure CA SOI to send an email notification when the SA Manager fails due to looping.

When CA SOI detects a loop in a service or service hierarchy, the SA Manager marks that service as being in TEST mode. This blocks the service state propagation and, in effect, takes the service offline. If the email notification is enabled for the SA Manager events, then CA SOI generates an email. The email contains the name of the service that CA SOI detected the loop in and the SA Manager that CA SOI detected the loop on. To return the service to a production state, edit and then save the service.

When CA SOI detects a loop during an impact analysis, CA SOI appends the following message with the name and internal model handle to the soimgr.log file. CA SOI appends a message each time that CA SOI detects looping.
