Under what condition do Connection Sections execute?

Connection Sections execute when there is a match on the Identification Section because this alignment is vital for establishing relationships between different components in Service Mapping. The Identification Section serves the purpose of uniquely identifying the service or configuration item (CI) based on the attributes defined within it. When a match occurs in the Identification Section, it indicates that the conditions for connecting certain elements within a service map are met, allowing the Connection Section to proceed accordingly.

Effective functioning of Service Mapping relies on these connections to accurately represent the dependencies and relationships between services and their underlying components. The alignment of Identification Sections ensures that the Service Mapping process is precise and reflective of the infrastructure’s actual design. Without a successful match in the Identification Section, the necessary connections outlined in the Connection Section cannot be validated and executed, highlighting the critical dependency on Identification for the Connection Sections to function.
