Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create two Technical Services and map them directly to the Business Application record.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Technical Services sit in a different domain and do not replace the need for Application Services.
- ✗
Create two separate Business Application records and point them to a single Application Service record.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. This inverts the relationship model; Business Applications are portfolio items, whereas Application Services represent deployments.
- ✗
Create a single Application Service record and use dynamic tags on incident forms to separate the regions.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. CSDM relies on structural relationships in the CMDB rather than incident tagging for reporting segmentation.
- ✓
Create one Business Application record and link two distinct Application Service records to it.
Why this is correct
Correct. A single Business Application can have multiple Application Services representing different environments or regions.
