  • Add a loss scenario and define the related asset dependencies in your business continuity plan. You can then view the details of the assets in BCM UIB Workspace and then plan a recovery strategy for an identified loss scenario.

    Before you begin

    Role required: sn_bcm.admin, sn_bcm.program_manager, or sn_bcm.planner

    About this task

    If the plan was created from a plan template, loss scenarios may already be pre-configured. When the plan template's "Synchronize loss scenario assets with recovery strategy assets" option is enabled, asset lists are kept in sync with the recovery strategy automatically.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Workspaces > Business Continuity Workspace.
    2. In the List view, navigate to Planning and select the link to the plan record in the Name column.
    3. Select the Loss scenarios tab and select Add.

      You can add a loss scenario to the business continuity plan. In the example, you can select the Loss of Datacenters loss scenario and add it to the business continuity plan.

      Add a loss scenario.

      The loss of scenario record is displayed as shown in the example.

    6. Select Save.

      The related asset dependencies are listed on the Related asset dependencies tab.

      Starting with the Australia release of the application, the Loss scenario record has the following related lists:
      • Task template groups
      • Task templates
      • Recovery strategies
      • Plan templates

    What to do next

    After the loss scenario is created, you can populate its Recovery tasks tab in bulk by selecting Add groups or Add tasks. The Select task template groups dialog automatically filters by the loss scenario's element definition (for example, only groups applicable to Datacenters are shown for a Loss of Datacenters scenario). For field-level details, see Add recovery tasks.
