SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WEIGHTING CONFIGURATION ITEM RELATIONSHIPS SUPPORTING BUSINESS CRITICAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a business critical impact analysis report, the method comprising steps of:
- inserting a rank value field in an existing relationship type definition of each of a plurality of configuration items;
inserting a rank value field in each single relationship between each of the plurality of configuration items;
determining default rank values for the rank value fields based on a business value of the relationships between the configuration items;
assigning the default rank values to the rank value fields in each of the single relationships and the relationship type definitions;
receiving a user request to generate the business critical impact analysis report at a selected rank level of business impact; and
presenting the business critical impact analysis report to the user, such that the configuration items and their associated relationships corresponding to the selected level are displayed.
