Figure 1. Business Services map launched for a CE-VLAN ServiceOffering object A Business Services map shows dependent relationships through arrowed lines: The arrowed lines point from a business object to the object that the business object depends on. Impact notifications propagate in the direction opposite to the arrowed lines: The impact notifications propagate to a business object from the object that the business object depends on.
In Figure 33, when EVC object EVC-EVPL_EVC_1 is impacted, the degradation causes Business Impact Manager to generate an impact notification for CE-VLAN service objects SO-CEVLAN100 and SO-CEVLAN1-4094.
