Run a process job to analyze discovery data and map relationships between configuration
items (CIs) in Configuration Management Database (CMDB). Process jobs help create meaningful
associations between assets, applications, and services, enabling administrators to visualize how
components interact across environments.

IT Service Asset Discovery
Make sure that you complete a discovery scan to populate CMDB with asset data and
the required discovery data is available for analysis.
Each process job analyzes a specific data dimension such as applications, networks, or cloud
resources. Running these jobs improves CMDB accuracy and supports service impact analysis.
From App Launcher, find and select CMDB and Service Graph.
In the navigations pane, in Administration, select
Discovery, and then Process Manager.
Select Process Jobs and then click New.
Select the process job as per the following table:
Process Job

Click Run.
The process jobs start immediately and is added to the process jobs list. When the
job completes, the updated relationship data appears in CMDB.
You can stop a running process job by using the record-level action on the Process Jobs page.
Stopping a job immediately ends the process and prevents further updates to CMDB for that
run.
