ABSTRACT:
A configuration management database (CMDB) that associates a policy with a configuration item (CI) in the CMDB. The policy contains an “applies to” field and a “type descriptor”. When a relationship is created between the CI and a second CI in the CMDB, the policy is associated with the second CI. The type descriptor of the policy may be evaluated and the policy associated with the second CI in response to the evaluation. The policy may contain a type descriptor comprising an instance of a CI type. The policy may contain a type descriptor comprising a CI type. The policy may contain an “applies to” field having a value of “this CI type”. The policy may contain an “applies to” field having a value of “hosting environment of this CI type”. The type descriptor may include a hosted CI component portion and a hosting CI component portion.
