Integrated with the Incident and Problem Management, is the need to  have a fully functioning CMDB (change management database) capability.

As figure 2 shows, this will allow full and in-depth modeling, with integration into ITSM, integration into E2E monitoring and alerting.

As you adopt and configure E2E and incident and problem and you have the option to take advantage of infrastructure management, according to John.

As Figure 3 shows, impact analysis starts with an Incident, the assignment block has an infrastructure object ID, leading you to the Configuration ID, leading you to the landscape browser and presented in an Infrastructure graphic.

It is the only CMDB tool with integration into the incident and problem side of Solution Manager.
