Use
one of the dependency types provided, or create a custom dependency type with a script that
will execute in real time to generate a custom view of a Dependency Views map for a specific
CI.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: none

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Create a JavaScript to customize the map. The script must comply with JavaScript syntax guidelines and the directions in the default script template, and it can call platform APIs. Use a dependency type, for example:

* To narrow down and simplify a map, leaving out CIs that are not important for a specific task.
* To include only specific CIs that are hidden by default, such as qualifiers, end-points, and entry points.
* To display virtual relationships that are calculated, and that otherwise do not exist in the CMDB.
* As a tool to plan a new topology deployment that is based on existing resources.
{#t_CreateMapScript__ul_umv_bw3_y5}  
The following dependency types are available in the base system:

Default
:   The default setting in the base system. With this setting, there is no
    processing of the dependency map through any dependency type scripts
    that might filter or modify the map.

Show All Relationships
:   Returns all qualifiers, end points, and entry points. This dependency
    type is available in the base system and is disabled by default.
    Typically, you would enable this dependency type for debugging and
tracking purposes.  
The following dependency types are available with [Service Mapping](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_ServiceMappingOverview&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US):

Application to Network Devices
:   Returns the network devices in the network paths leading to/from the
    given CI.

Network Device to Applications
:   Returns the applicative CIs which are target or source of network paths
    containing the given network device. In addition, returns the hosts of
    those applicative CIs, and for an applicative CI that is an inclusion,
    its parent CI is returned too.

Physical Network Connections
:   Returns hosts/network devices that are physically connected to the given
    host or network device.

Flow Dependencies
:   Returns all the server to server connections that were discovered using
    the Netflow collector. The script builds a graph based on data in the
    \[sa_flow_server_comm\] table. This table contains pairs of services
    represented by an IP and a listening port that are communicating with
    each other. For more information, see [Data collection
    and discovery using Netflow](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=data-collection-netflow-mapping&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US) and [Data collection
    and discovery using VPC Flow Logs](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=data-collection-vpc-mapping&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US).
