CIS-DF Exam Topic 7 Question 60 Discussion:
Question #: 60
Topic #: 7
The Application Portfolio Management team is asking for help modeling platforms as Business Applications.
How would this be mapped in CSDM using the ServiceNow Platform in the Incident and Change applications?
A.
ServiceNow Platform, Incident, and Change would all be web-based architecture type. A Depends On relationship would be created between ServiceNow Platform and Incident and Change.
B.
ServiceNow Platform would be an architecture type of Platform Host. Incident and Change would be Platform Applications. Then a Depends On relationship would be created between ServiceNow Platform and Incident and Change.
C.
ServiceNow Platform would be an architecture type of Platform Host. Incident and Change would be Platform Applications and have a reference to ServiceNow Platform.
D.
ServiceNow Platform, Incident, and Change would all be web-based architecture type. Incident and Change would have a reference to ServiceNow Platform.
The correct answer is C . In CSDM and Application Portfolio Management, a platform should be modeled as a Business Application with the architecture type Platform Host . Applications that run on or are provided by that platform should be modeled as Platform Applications and should reference the platform host. In this scenario, the ServiceNow Platform is the platform host, while Incident and Change are platform applications because they are capabilities delivered on the ServiceNow Platform. The relationship is not best represented by making all three applications generic web-based applications. That would lose the platform/application distinction. The preferred model is also not simply a Depends On relationship, because CSDM provides a more specific platform host reference model for this use case. Therefore, ServiceNow Platform should be Platform Host, and Incident and Change should be Platform Applications referencing ServiceNow Platform.
