Error description
Product: IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager. Release: 6.1.1.4 Severity: 3 PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Tivoli Business Service Manager documentation requires updating. The following link below to our TBSM documentation for ESDA rules needs to include ESDA rule limitations. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSPFK_6.1.1.4/com.i bm.tivoli.itbsm.doc_6.1.1/ServiceConfigurationGuide/bsmu_esdc_ru le_triggers.html Service Configuration Guide->ESDA rules->ESDAs overview->ESDA rule triggers. ESDA doesn't do automatic updates The chapter could also be re-edited towards invalidation and discovery We need to clearly explain ESDA automated triggering and say that ESDA isn't designed for automated service model generation but for dynamic service model generation on user action. For automatic service model generation, users need to use autopop rules dynamic means - clicking the plus icon and showing levels up or down in Relationships/Basic Relationships view in Service Viewer portlet in Service Administration and Service Configuration portlets. Another limitation that should be documented is this is not going to work with JazzSM/DASH. ESDA can be triggered only from TIP. Only from Service Navigator / Service Tree portlets by + icon and by setting levels up/down in Service Editor portlet. Invalidation and discovery is also important, because clicking on + icon or levels up/down will not show fresh data unless the service instance being clicked was set to invalid So it's dynamic only for invalid instances Valid instances will show what's currently in TBSM memory if user clicks + The discovery of the data source and showing fresh data will work only for invalid service instances. Then the properties like impact.sla.runesdasonstartup and impact.sla.onlymanualinvalidation are relevant.
