Administrators configure the Dependency Configuration records in the administrator view (UI 16 view) to schedule an auto-update of the BIA dependencies, related assets, and sources based on the source data and relationships in the CMDB.

The example shows the Planning dependency update configuration record.

Consider an example where you have 2 BIAs done on Acrobat and the configuration is shown in the example. When All records option is selected and you select Update dependencies UI action from the plan record, the application pulls all the dependencies in all BIA records that satisfy the requirement. As shown in the example, dependencies of both BIA Latest and BIA Old records are pulled into the plan.

When Latest record only option is selected and you select Update dependencies UI action from the plan record, the application considers one of the records of the two BIAs and it fetches the dependency assessment of that BIA record.

For the Update dependencies UI action in the plan record and the Update BCP dependencies snapshot scheduled job to function, it is necessary to have the Impact analysis dependency update configuration, Planning dependency update configuration, and Event dependency source configuration records established.

Pulling latest dependency updates for impact analysis, plans, and events

You can pull latest dependency updates for impact analysis, plans, and events. Choosing All records or Latest record only functionality is applicable for Impact analysis dependency update configuration, Planning dependency update configuration, and Event dependency source configuration records.

For Impact analysis dependency updates, pulling all BIA records or the latest BIA record may yield the same information. For planning dependency updates and event dependency updates, pulling all BIA records or the latest BIA record pulls the latest dependency updates.

For information on configuring the impact analysis dependency updates, see Configuring impact analysis dependency updates.

For information on configuring the planning dependency updates, see Configuring planning dependency updates.

For information on configuring the sources for adding the event dependencies, see Configuring sources for adding event dependencies.
