When you assign a service to be the subordinate of another service,
you are adding a dependency. After adding a dependency, remember to
check the status
calculation and propagation rules of the two services to ensure
that you get the status that you expect in the service view.
Open the Service Editor
Select
your top-level services folder in the console tree.
Clickon the Configuration
toolbar to open the Service Editor.
Select the service which should get a new dependency (that is,
the superordinate service).
Click Add Dependency. The Add Dependency
Relationships dialog box appears.
Select the service on which the first service will be dependent
(that is, the subordinates). You can select more than one service
if you want to create more than one dependency.
Click OK.
NOTE:
You can also create dependencies with a drag-and-drop operation in
the Service Editor.
