Question

What is automatically deleted when a non-dependent relationship is deleted from the CI Relationship [cmdb_rel_ci] table?

a. All corresponding records in the relationship sources table
b. All dependent records in the CI Relationship table
c. Only the relationship identifier
d. None of the above

Answer 1

Deleting a non-dependent relationship from the CI Relationship table in ServiceNow does not affect related records or dependent relationships; only the specific relationship record is removed.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a non-dependent relationship is deleted from the CI Relationship [cmdb_rel_ci] table in ServiceNow, none of the above options accurately describe what gets deleted. Deleting a non-dependent relationship simply removes the specific relationship record that connects configuration items (CIs), but does not impact related records or the configuration items themselves. Dependent relationships and corresponding records in any related table remain untouched unless specifically designed to cascade on delete, which is not the default behavior.
