What determines if a Connection Section will try to execute?

The determination of whether a Connection Section will attempt to execute is based primarily on whether there is a successful match on the Identification Section. When a Configuration Item (CI) is identified and matched according to the criteria set within the Identification Section, it triggers the Connection Section to proceed. The Identification Section's role is to recognize instances or parameters that align with the specified patterns, thereby enabling a clause in the Connection Section to take action based on that established connection.

In a Service Mapping context, the process flow depends heavily on this identification step, as all subsequent actions rely on the initial match to establish a connection with the corresponding services or components. This ensures that the mapping is accurate and reflects the existing dependencies and relationships within the IT environment. Therefore, when evaluating the criteria for executing a Connection Section, the match on the Identification Section is the key factor for successful execution.
