Introduction
This interface was made in response to the following two issues that arise while managing System Automation:Optimize information search in the configuration database
with visualization tools for faster and easier data understanding.
Foresee activation errors found in the configuration and avoid on-call specialists intervention during the night or week-ends.

A new interface : why?
– Make data search and visualization easier.
– Save time when looking for specific information.
– Check and show applications relationships.
– Simulate actions taken by Runmodes.
– Easily filter log information.
– Control variables used in commands.
– Compare data between 2 TSA databases.

Use case 3
• I added a new application. How do I make sure it will start and stop properly?– Are there well defined relationships?– Would another relationship create an issue?– Do relationships loop with other resources?
• The needs:Visualize relationships network.Check linked resources’ own relationships.Warn the user when relationships loop.
