An added Oracle instance (version 11g). Validation of no configuration breach. Existence of a corresponding RFC. In CM, the following items are evaluated: A change to the Linux server (added relation). An added Oracle instance (version 11g). Validation of no configuration breach. Existence of a corresponding RFC. 5 Update the RFC with change data 7 CM uses authorization rules to automatically mark the changes as reviewed. 6 CM adds two entries to the RFC activity log (one for the Linux server and one for the Oracle instance), indicating the new configuration that has been captured and reviewed. 7 Close the RFC 8 Run Universal Discovery 3 The RFC is closed when all steps in the workflow have been completed. 8
