Relationship change rules

You can change relationships to fit your business needs.

The following list describes the rules regarding changing relationships:

  • You cannot change rules that are part of the common data model.
  • You cannot delete the rule if any configuration items use the rule.
  • You cannot change the containment flag if any configuration items use the rule.
  • You cannot change the Is Target Parent setting if any configuration items use the rule.
You can change the cardinality in these ways:
  • If 1:1, you can change the cardinality to 1:n, n:1, and n;n.
  • If 1:n, you can change the cardinality to n:n.
  • If n;1, you can change the cardinality to n:n.

If n:n, you cannot change the cardinality.
