Coloring the Relationship in Dependency View


We all have seen the Mono-Chrome look of the dependency view previously called BSM map. 


Do you know, you can color code the relationship in the dependency view? Servicenow do gives this capability where you can color code different types of relationship in different color.

Below is the way to do it.

1. Go to table Edge Colors [bsm_edge_color] and create a new record






2. Select the type of relationship that you want to color and select the desired color and save the form



And that is all you needed to do. Now you can open any CI's dependency view and in whichever CI that relationship is there, it will be color coded. From the above example, in whichever CI's dependency view  Depends on::Used by relationship is there, it will be color coded in green

Creating custom probe and sensor. Before starting this I assume you already know what is probe and sensor and what does it do.If you are not aware of probe and sensor then please go through this link first  Probes and Sensor. Here we will try implementing a very small and basic requirement. Once you understand how it works you can implement any complex requirement also. So here we will try to fetch the BIOS information of a windows system and will populate this result into the BIOS detail field ( which is a custom field that I have created ) of CI table . Let's start with probe first :- To create a probe follow the below steps :- 1. Under Discovery definition click on probes module. 2. Give a meaningful name to the probe. Ex. Windows-BIOS version . 3. The value in the ECC queue topic field appears in the ECC queue output record's "topic" field when this probe is launched.Since its a DOS command write Command in the field. Please

Discovery Probes and Sensors Introduction Discovery is a module that servicenow provides in order to maintain CI's data that are present in the network of an organization. It is an automated process which means you just need to configure this and it will work on it's own i.e mannual intervention is not required ( given nothing is going wrong and you have configured it as expected) . The basic functionality of discovery is to knock the door of each and every device that are present in your network. Then classify which kind of device it is ex. computer, server etc. Then gathers the detailed information of the device like Serial number, Version and so on and populates all these data into the cmdb_ci table.  Now the one who is responsible for knocking the doors and gathering data is what is called Probe and the one who is responsible for analyzing these data and populating cmdb_ci table is what is called Sensor.  The one who does the coordination between the servicenow and

                                               The year changer YYYY Did you know that the year format yyyy and YYYY are not same? Although round the year you would find both format working for you in the same way but, when the year is to end and there is a transition of the year to happen, at that time you may get the unexpected result if you do not choose the right format. So, what's the difference ? Let's discuss this. yyyy - This format represents the calender year. Now what does it mean? It means this format evaluates the year part as the year in which day and month of the date lies. You would say it's a waste of time, I already know this, what's new. I agree, till this point nothing new but, let's see the other format YYYY -  This format represents the 'year of the week'  or to simplify, year of the last day of the week. Wait, Does it mean any thing? Yes, it does. To understand the meaning of it, let's take an example :  var Date = new GlideDate(
