Selected Answer: B Answer: B. ServiceNow Platform would be an Architecture type of Platform Host. Incident and Change would be Platform Applications and have a reference to ServiceNow Platform. Explanation: Under the Common Service Data Model (CSDM) architecture for modeling modular systems and software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms, ServiceNow utilizes a native, dedicated Platform-to-Application hierarchy inside the Business Application table. upvoted 2 times
Selected Answer: B Platform Applications reference a Platform Host rather than using Depends On relationships upvoted 1 times
Selected Answer: B The key distinction is the relationship mechanism — Platform Applications use a built-in reference field to the Platform Host, which is structurally different from creating a manual Depends On relationship. upvoted 3 times
Selected Answer: B D sounds almost right, but it adds a "Depends On" relationship. B is right - The platform itself (ServiceNow Platform) gets the Architecture type "Platform Host" The apps running on it (Incident, Change) are typed as "Platform Applications" Platform Applications hold a direct reference field pointing back to their Platform Host upvoted 2 times
Selected Answer: D D is correct upvoted 3 times sephereth 1 month, 3 weeks ago The reason D is incorrect comes down to a strict rule in ServiceNow's CSDM data integrity: You should almost never create manual CI relationships ([cmdb_rel_ci]) between two records in the Business Application table. upvoted 1 times ...
